Platform · CAMEO AI
Know what a part really costs – before the margin is gone
CAMEO AI is Dreija's cost intelligence platform for machining companies. It connects data from CNC machines, CAM/TDM, MES and ERP into one cost chain from quotation to delivery.
CAMEO · Cost Analysis for Machining, Estimation and Optimization
The challenge
The Cost Drift Curve
At quotation, cycle times, tooling and material are priced as estimates. On the floor, setup time, tool wear, scrap, rework and rate changes accumulate – and the gap often shows only after delivery.
Quoted cost
Cycle times, tooling and material as priced at the quotation stage.
Actual cost
Setup time, tool wear, scrap, rework and rate changes accumulate on the floor.
Data
Four Systems Feed Every Estimate
A reliable estimate needs data from every layer. CAMEO AI brings it together.
- 01
ERP
Quotation and margin
- 02
CAM / TDM
Tools and assemblies
- 03
CNC machines / PLC
Operations, parameters, cycles and alarms
- 04
MES
Batches and runs
Estimate required at every layer
Cost model
- Component
- Material
- Tooling

- Overhead
Platform
Three Products, One Cost Chain
CAMEO AI is built from Dreija products proven in production. Each module also works on its own – together they form an unbroken chain from machine data to cost decisions.

Value proposition
What CAMEO AI Delivers
True Cost
- What it does
- Actual cost, not estimate
- Data it uses
- Machine, tooling, cycle time
- Result
- Cost per part
Know what a part really costs.
Cost Drift
- What it does
- Drift spotted as it happens
- Data it uses
- Scrap, setup, rework, process data
- Result
- Early warning
Fix margin before delivery.
Learning Loop
- What it does
- Every part adds real data
- Data it uses
- Measured runs across the machine fleet
- Result
- Smarter estimates
Shop-floor experience becomes reusable.
One Cost Chain
- What it does
- Quotation to production
- Data it uses
- ERP, MES, CAM and machine data
- Result
- Connected chain
No blind spots at handover.
Margin Guard
- What it does
- Predicts where margin is lost
- Data it uses
- Actual versus quoted performance
- Result
- Protected margin
Hidden cost never becomes lost margin.
Cost estimation
Calculate production cost before the run
Enter material, tooling and machine data and the system produces a cost breakdown for estimation and tracking. Values update in real time – example data is pre-filled.
