AVEVA Instrumentation
Alternative, AI-Powered
Pathnovo automates what AVEVA Instrumentation requires manual data entry for, extracting instrument data from P&IDs into structured deliverables.
AI Extraction vs Manual Entry
AVEVA Instrumentation requires manual data population. Pathnovo extracts from drawings automatically.
No Platform Lock-In
Output to any format: Excel, JSON, SAP PM, IBM Maximo, or back into AVEVA systems.
Legacy Drawing Support
Process scanned paper P&IDs from any era. AVEVA requires digital models.
Outcome-Based Pricing

Is Pathnovo a replacement for AVEVA Instrumentation?
Pathnovo replaces the data extraction and population workflow. AVEVA Instrumentation is a design tool for creating instrument specifications. Pathnovo reads existing drawings to generate instrument data that can feed into AVEVA or any other system: SAP PM, IBM Maximo, Excel, JSON. 99.5% contractual accuracy SLA with penalty clause. Reference: McDermott engagement processed 10,247 tags across 600 P&IDs.
Can Pathnovo extract from legacy AVEVA-authored drawings?
Yes. Pathnovo extracts from any drawing format (scanned PDF, AVEVA-authored native, legacy CAD), without ecosystem dependency. Output is AVEVA-compatible where downstream AVEVA NET / AIM ingestion is required. Unlike AVEVA Instrumentation's own workflow which requires drawings authored in AVEVA tools, Pathnovo reads any source.
How does pricing compare to AVEVA Instrumentation licensing?
AVEVA Instrumentation is typically enterprise-licensed at $500K+/year with multi-month implementation. Pathnovo is credit-based with the full platform included on every paid tier, 48-hour managed-service turnaround, and a free 14-day trial with 100 credits. For a typical 2,000-tag project the engagement sits comfortably inside one to two months on Starter or Professional, materially lower than AVEVA's annual enterprise licence plus implementation cost. See pricing for plans.
Does Pathnovo integrate with AVEVA NET or AIM?
Yes. Pathnovo exports CFIHOS-compliant data for direct ingestion into AVEVA NET or the newer AVEVA AIM in AVEVA Connect. For clients committed to the AVEVA ecosystem downstream, Pathnovo sits upstream: extract from PDFs, feed AVEVA platforms. See /alternatives/aveva-aim for the AIM-specific comparison.
