Do I need special hardware for P&ID extraction?
No. Pathnovo processes any PDF, scanned image, CAD export, or EDMS file. No special scanning hardware required. Levian's 'Levian Box' hardware appliance targets on-premises air-gapped deployment, which is a niche use case; for the majority of EPC workflows, cloud or cloud-native on-prem deployment is preferred.
How does Levian's hardware approach compare to Pathnovo's managed service?
Levian's hardware appliance is designed for air-gapped petrochemical and O&G EPC contractors: a narrow segment where internet connectivity is restricted. For this specific segment, Levian offers a valid approach. For the broader EPC market including Indian mid-EPC, Gulf contractors, and global EPC contractors, Pathnovo's managed service with configurable data residency (AWS Riyadh, Azure UAE North, Azure India Central) delivers equivalent security with much broader capability.
Does Levian cover isometrics, HAZOP, or mill certificates?
No. Levian focuses specifically on P&ID MTO generation. Pathnovo covers 15+ document types in a unified workflow: P&IDs, isometrics (with piping MTO), datasheets, HAZOP studies, mill certificates, compliance documents. For an EPC project, the breadth of document coverage matters materially.
Which serves Indian EPC contractors better?
Pathnovo. Indian regulatory compliance (IBR, OISD 118, PESO, CCOE) is essential for Indian process plants and Levian does not address these regimes. Pathnovo encodes all four as first-class workflow components. See /compliance/indian-epc-compliance-bundle.
