How modern extraction actually works on technical documents, and why generic tools fall short on engineering drawings.
Intelligent document processing (IDP) covers the technology stack that turns unstructured documents into structured data: classification, extraction, validation, and human review. Generic IDP handles invoices and forms well. Engineering documents are a different problem: a P&ID is a dense graph of symbols and connections, not a page of text, and text recognition alone cannot read it.
The articles here explain the architectures that do work on technical documents (computer vision for symbols and connectivity, vision-language models for context, rule-based validation against engineering standards), how to benchmark accuracy honestly, and when batch versus real-time processing matters. If you are evaluating IDP vendors for engineering content, this category is the technical due-diligence reading list.

No. OCR converts pixels to text and is one component inside an IDP pipeline. Engineering-grade IDP adds computer vision for symbols and layout, vision-language models for context, validation rules, and human review. On drawings like P&IDs, text recognition alone misses most of the information because the meaning lives in symbols and connections.
Field-level accuracy on your own documents, not vendor demo files. Define the fields that matter (tags, sizes, ratings, materials), run a representative sample, and measure precision and recall per field, with special attention to safety-critical fields where an error propagates into maintenance or procurement systems.
