Tag Extraction from Engineering Documents

Novek's AI agents extract equipment and instrument tags, attributes, and metadata from P&IDs, datasheets, drawings, and vendor files—then localize every extracted item back to its exact position in the source document, so engineers can review, edit, and approve with confidence.

What Makes Novek Different

Localized, Human-Reviewable Extraction

Every extracted tag is:

Highlighted directly on the drawing or page
Clickable to show its source context
Fully editable (add, edit, delete)
Approved or rejected with audit traceability

This means engineers don't "trust the AI blindly"—they verify in seconds instead of hours.

You don't just get a list.

You get proof.

Detailed Overview

Novek uses task-specific AI agents combining computer vision and language understanding to identify, extract, and structure tags, specifications, and metadata from engineering documents.

Unlike traditional extraction tools, Novek:

  • Preserves context, not just values, including colors, highlights, and annotations
  • Links every output back to its source location
  • Supports human-in-the-loop review by design

Teams use Novek to replace manual tag take-offs, spreadsheet copying, and repeated cross-checks—while staying fully accountable during design reviews and audits.

Key Capabilities

Tag extraction from P&IDs, drawings, datasheets, and vendor documents
Support for equipment, instrument, valve, line, and package tags
Source-level localization and highlighting
Engineer-friendly review, edit, add, delete workflows
Batch processing across hundreds of documents
Export to Excel, CSV, JSON, or databases
Optional integration with asset registers and downstream systems

Typical Cost Comparison (per page)

Manual tag extraction

  • • 2–3 hours per page
  • • High rework during reviews
  • • Error-prone and difficult to audit

With Novek

  • • Extraction in <10 mins per page
  • • Easy human review in ~10 mins per page
  • • Structured outputs ready for downstream use

At typical engineering rates, manual extraction can cost $100s per page. Novek costs <50¢ per page—with traceability and human review built in.

Ready to See It in Action?

Run tag extraction on your own documents and review results directly on the source files—before exporting a single row.

Faster extraction is good.

Extraction you can defend in a design review is better.
