Choose a template
Start with a prepared template for the workflow. The columns and instructions match the selected use case.
Technical datasheets into a structured table
Create a product comparison table from datasheets, catalog sheets, and technical PDF documents.
Short story
An engineering lead is narrowing down components for a new production line. The team has datasheets for sensors, pumps, panels, batteries, and valves, but every manufacturer writes specifications differently. Rowvia gives them a structured first pass: product name, material, dimensions, voltage, capacity, standards, certifications, and restrictions in a table that can be filtered and checked.
How it becomes a table
Upload the technical PDFs, choose the Technical product datasheet template, and Rowvia prepares columns for the parameters you need to compare. The output is a reviewable table, not a buried note inside a chat.

Workflow
From template selection to a finished table
Rowvia prepares columns
Each output column has its own instruction, so the result is structured table data instead of a loose summary. You can adjust the suggested columns or add custom ones for the fields you need.
Add sources
Upload files, add URLs, or paste text. Each source becomes one row and waits for processing.
Run processing and review the result
During processing, you can see what is done, what is waiting, and what is currently running. After completion, you can correct cells and export the table.
Example sources
Each source becomes one row
The demo uses synthetic file names, URLs, or text-source names and results. The same principle applies to your own sources.
- datasheet-sensor-x7.pdf
- technical-sheet-pump-p40.pdf
- product-sheet-control-cabinet-r2.pdf
Output
A table ready for review and export
The output is a table that works well in Excel or another review workflow. One row represents one source and the columns describe the specific fields you want to extract. For technical datasheets, this makes it easier to compare sources side by side without manual copying.
Review
What to check
Rowvia is useful for a first structured overview, review, and export. It should not replace accounting, legal, insurance, or other expert decisions, and important values should be checked against the source document.
Beyond OCR
More than reading text from a source
Ordinary OCR usually only reads text. In a technical datasheets workflow, the more useful result is getting values into the same columns across several sources, so they can be compared, filtered, and handed off as a table.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can Rowvia turn technical datasheets into a spreadsheet?
Yes. Rowvia prepares a review table where each added source becomes one row and the columns match the selected workflow.
Which fields should usually be checked in the output?
Typical fields include Product name, Manufacturer, Product family, Material. You can adjust the columns to match your process.
Does Rowvia replace expert document review?
No. The output is a reviewable working table. Important legal, accounting, insurance, or compliance values should still be checked by the responsible person.
Can I add custom columns?
Yes. You can use a prepared template as a starting point, then adjust columns or add your own questions for the fields you need to extract.
