Digitalise Legacy P&ID Drawings with SmartPFID™

Integrate AI Into Your Process Safety Work

Many P&ID drawings are non-digital simple images, with no capabilities for smart digital twin usage in plant and process management. SmartPFID™ uses AI image recognition to transform and enhance legacy P&ID drawings into a digital format, allowing for their use in many digital applications. With this new tool users can import thousands of P&ID drawings and use AI image recognition to identify equipment. Users can then embed data into the equipment itself using the DEXPI standards. Interested? We would love to hear from you.

*Note: SmartPFID™ is currently in it’s pre-alpha development phase.

Digitalize P&ID Drawings Using AI

Once imported, SmartPFID™ uses advanced AI image recognition to analyze your legacy P&IDs. The tool automatically identifies and labels key process equipment, dramatically reducing manual effort and paving the way for intelligent, data-driven plant management.

Automatically detect equipment, pipelines, and instrumentation
AI-driven recognition speeds up processing and reduces human error
Consistent tagging across multiple drawings for improved accuracy
Eliminate the need for tedious manual markup or CAD conversion

Embed Equipment Data

Turn static drawings into living documents by embedding key process data directly into each identified asset. SmartPFID™ supports the DEXPI standard, enabling structured, interoperable data integration for smarter operations and maintenance.

Add equipment-specific data such as PRV set pressures, asset IDs, and more
Link metadata directly to tagged components within the P&ID
Ensure consistency and traceability across documentation
Leverage DEXPI-compliant formatting for easy system integration
