Unlocking legacy drawings for software, AI, and engineering
From intelligent CAD migration and DEXPI generation to powering autonomous AI agents and automated project deliverables — see how Novek connects legacy plant drawings to modern engineering outcomes.
Legacy P&ID Digitisation & CAD Migration
Transform flat PDF and raster drawing archives into intelligent P&ID models (SmartPlant, AVEVA, DEXPI XML) without manual drafting.
AI Engineering Context & Plant Topology
Feed verified topological graphs and line relationships to AI agents for automated HAZOP reviews, compliance checks, and work packs.
Automated Engineering Workflows & Registers
Generate line lists, equipment schedules, and MTOs automatically from connected models with 100% source-pixel traceability.
From legacy drawings to intelligent engineering models
Novek transforms legacy PDF, scanned, and CAD drawings into connected data models that software, AI, and engineering systems can use.
Legacy P&ID Digitisation
Reconstruct equipment, piping, instrumentation, and connectivity directly from legacy PDF, scanned, and CAD drawings into a source-traceable engineering graph.
Intelligent P&ID Conversion
Reconstruct the underlying engineering model upstream before passing verified objects, classes, and topology into intelligent CAD environments.
Smart P&ID / Facets Migration
Prepare legacy PDF and CAD drawings for migration into Smart P&ID and Facets P&ID authoring databases with pre-validated topology.
P&ID to DEXPI (ISO 15926)
Transform static drawings into vendor-neutral, DEXPI-aligned data structures for open CAD interchange and multi-system interoperability.
AI Engineering Context
Give AI agents deterministic plant topology graphs to query upstream/downstream connections, isolation valves, and control loops with zero hallucinations.
Digital Twin Engineering Data
Extract, validate, and supply structured brownfield asset data from legacy drawings to power digital twin platforms and enterprise asset systems.
The outputs EPC teams build manually — now automated
Start here. These are the deliverables that consume the most engineering hours on every project. Novek replaces the manual document work while keeping your team in control of the output.
AI P&ID extraction
Useful engineering data is locked inside piping and instrumentation diagrams. Teams still read symbols, callouts, line numbers, and notes by hand before any list can be built.
Novek reads P&ID drawings directly, extracts tags, line data, equipment references, and instrument details, and turns them into structured outputs with source-linked evidence for review.
AI tag list extraction
Tag lists, tag registers, and equipment tag schedules still get built by reconciling tags across P&IDs, datasheets, and vendor files one document at a time.
Novek extracts tag references across the package, normalizes naming differences, and produces a clean tag list or tag register with every field linked back to the source.
AI line list extraction
Line lists and piping line schedules still start with engineers reading line designations, service descriptions, and pipe classes out of P&IDs by hand.
Novek reads P&IDs visually, extracts line designations, service descriptions, pipe classes, and related equipment references, and structures them into the line list format your team needs.
AI instrument list extraction
Instrument lists and instrument indexes are slow to build because tags, loop details, services, and specifications have to be pulled from drawings and datasheets with technical judgment.
Novek extracts instrument tags and attributes from P&IDs and instrument datasheets, organizes them into an instrument list or instrument index, and keeps the output tied to source evidence.
Datasheet extraction and cross-checking
Getting the same set of attributes from 40 datasheets across 8 vendors means reading and normalizing every document by hand — then comparing those values against the P&IDs and line lists they need to match.
Novek extracts engineering attributes from any vendor format, normalizes them into a consistent structure, and cross-checks values against related engineering documents. Mismatches are flagged with source references — so QA is a review pass, not a re-read.
MTO generation
Building an MTO means reading specifications and drawings across multiple document types, tracking quantities manually, and converting it all into a spreadsheet that's correct enough for procurement.
Novek extracts pipe items, fittings, equipment references, and material class information from the package and produces a structured, MTO-ready output — with every line item linked to its source document.
From predefined workflows to custom engineering automation
Standard deliverables cover most of what EPC teams produce. But not every project follows the same structure — and not every client wants outputs in the same format.
Novek lets teams move beyond fixed workflows. Define how documents should be processed, what fields to extract, how outputs should be validated, and what format they ship in. Then run that workflow consistently across every project.
Custom extraction logic
Specify what to extract, how to interpret it, and what naming or format rules apply — based on your project standards or client requirements.
Cross-document checks you define
Set the rules for what consistency looks like across your document package. Flag mismatches by your criteria, not ours.
Output in your format
Structure outputs to match your project template, client submission format, or internal register standard — not a generic export.
Start with standard deliverables. Extend into workflows built for your projects.
Not every project follows the same structure
Beyond standard deliverables, Novek lets teams build document workflows specific to their clients, standards, and project types. Define the extraction rules, validation logic, and output format — then run it repeatably across projects.
Custom extraction rules
Define what fields to pull from any document type — using your tag formats, naming conventions, and project-specific attributes. Not limited to what a standard template expects.
Validation rules you define
Specify what consistency looks like for your package — across P&IDs, datasheets, vendor files, and lists. Catch mismatches on your terms before anything goes to QA.
Client-specific output formats
Map extracted data to the column structure, naming conventions, and format your client or internal team requires — so outputs go out clean without a reformatting step.
Repeatable across projects
Define a workflow once. Run it on every project package that fits the same pattern — same rules, same validation, same output format.
Don't just automate one task.
Automate the workflow.
Most tools help with one step. Novek is designed to handle the full flow — from document ingestion to source-linked, validated, structured outputs that go directly to your client or QA team.
Start with one deliverable. Expand across your entire document workflow.
