Engineering workflows — from document to deliverable
Automate tag registers, line lists, MTOs, and datasheet extraction from your document packages. Or define your own workflows — tailored to your project structure, client requirements, or engineering standards.
Popular engineering extraction workflows
Manual document-to-deliverable pipelines
Hours of engineering time reading, reconciling, and structuring data from P&IDs, datasheets, and vendor files — before any QA can start.
Structured, source-linked outputs in minutes
Extraction, reconciliation, and formatting handled automatically. Every field linked to its source so engineers review, not re-read.
Custom workflows for any project structure
Standard deliverables covered out of the box. Custom extraction, validation, and output logic available for workflows specific to your clients or standards.
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.
