Upload engineering docs. Get structured deliverables.
Novek uses agentic AI to extract engineering deliverables from P&IDs, datasheets, and technical documents — with a human-in-the-loop review layer that localizes every component back to its source for 100% verifiable accuracy.

End-to-end workflow
From document upload to verified deliverable
Five steps. No custom integration needed. No retraining. Works with the document formats and delivery conventions your team already uses.
Upload your document package
Drop in P&IDs, datasheets, vendor documents, standards, and custom instruction files. Novek accepts mixed formats and handles the complexity of real engineering document packages.
Define extraction instructions
Set your project's tag format conventions, naming rules, required fields, and validation logic in plain language. Novek applies these consistently across every document in the package.
Agentic extraction runs
Specialised AI agents read your drawings visually, extract structured data, and validate it across documents — identifying tags, line numbers, instrument types, and engineering attributes with domain context.
Review with source overlay
Every extracted value is linked back to its exact location on the source drawing. Click a row in your line list and see it highlighted on the P&ID — review, edit, approve, or delete in context.
Export verified deliverables
Once reviewed and approved, export structured deliverables — line lists, tag registers, equipment lists — into your project's Excel templates, CSV files, or connected downstream systems.
Document Ingestion
Feed it your entire document package
Novek is built for the messy reality of engineering projects — mixed formats, vendor templates, scanned drawings, and project-specific conventions. Upload what you have, define how you want it processed.
P&ID Drawings
Upload scanned or digital P&ID drawings. Novek uses visual AI to read symbols, tags, line numbers, and instrument connections directly from the diagram.
Datasheets
Process equipment datasheets, instrument data sheets, and vendor-supplied technical specs. Extract structured field data across hundreds of pages automatically.
Custom Instructions
Define extraction rules, naming conventions, and validation logic in plain language. Tell Novek exactly how to interpret your project's standards and terminology.
Standards & Specifications
Upload project specifications, codes of practice, and engineering standards. Novek uses them as context to validate extracted data against project requirements.
Vendor Document Packages
Ingest complete vendor document packages with mixed formats. Novek normalizes data across different vendor templates into a consistent project output.
Existing Deliverable Templates
Upload your existing line list or taglist Excel templates. Novek populates them directly, preserving your project's column structure and formatting conventions.
Custom Instructions Engine
Every project has its own naming conventions, tag formats, and validation rules. Write plain-language instructions — "always use the instrument tag in the format {P-####}", "flag any line without a pipe spec assigned" — and Novek applies them consistently across every document in the package.
Example instruction
Flag if missing: pipe class

Agentic Extraction Engine
AI that reads engineering documents like an engineer
Not generic AI. Not OCR plus pattern matching. A purpose-built extraction engine trained to understand the structure, symbology, and conventions of engineering documentation.
Extraction pipeline
Visual AI for P&ID Drawings
Novek's vision models read P&ID drawings the way a trained engineer would — identifying instrument symbols, tag labels, line numbers, connections, and process flows without needing clean vector data.
Works on scanned PDFs, low-quality images, and complex multi-layer drawings.
Context-Aware Extraction
The extraction agents don't just read text — they understand engineering context. A "PT" near a circle is a pressure transmitter tag; a number in a diamond is a line number. The AI applies domain knowledge throughout.
Reduces false positives from generic OCR approaches.
Multi-Agent Orchestration
Complex documents are processed by specialized agents working together. A P&ID extraction agent focuses on drawing symbols; a datasheet agent handles tabular data; a validation agent reconciles both. Coordinated, not sequential.
Parallel processing for large document packages.
Cross-Document Intelligence
Novek doesn't treat each document in isolation. It understands the relationships between your P&IDs, datasheets, and line specs — flagging contradictions and surfacing missing data before it becomes a problem.
Catches mismatches between P&ID tags and datasheet entries.
Structured Data Output
Everything extracted is immediately structured — not dumped into a summary paragraph. Tags, line numbers, instrument types, service descriptions, and design conditions populate directly into the deliverable format.
Ready for export into Excel, database, or downstream tools.
Confidence Scoring
Each extracted value carries a confidence level. Low-confidence items are surfaced prominently in the HITL review layer so engineers can focus attention where it matters rather than re-checking everything.
Smart prioritization of human review effort.

Human-in-the-Loop Review
The review layer that makes 100% accuracy achievable
AI alone can't guarantee 100% accuracy on complex technical drawings. Novek's HITL layer is designed to make human review so fast and precise that catching and correcting every edge case becomes practical — not theoretical.

Extracted Data
Source Overlay View
Every AI-extracted component is localized back to its exact location on the original drawing. Click any row in your line list and the system jumps to the precise region of the P&ID where that data was found — with a visual overlay highlighting the source.
No more hunting through 50-page P&ID packages to verify a single tag number.
Why HITL changes everything
Pure AI extraction can get you to 90–95% accuracy on complex drawings. The last 5–10% requires human judgment. Without a proper review interface, that last mile takes as long as doing everything manually. Novek's HITL layer collapses that time.
