Document Intelligence for
EPC Contractors & Asset Owners
Your handover package is the document your client uses to operate the plant for the next 30 years. Every tag, every instrument parameter, every safety interlock must be correct before the milestone date, because that is when you get paid.
The handover deadline is a payment event worth crores
Document controllers building tag registers manually at 95% accuracy, producing Excel files that still need manual SAP upload.
Generic AI fails the accuracy bar that plant operations require
A plant cannot be commissioned until every tag in SAP PM matches the as-built documents. That requires ISA 5.1 expertise, not generic OCR.
The C&E matrix and the P&ID rarely agree
SIL classification decisions reference tags that have been renumbered or relocated. This surfaces at SIL verification when it is too late.
KPO teams are manual work with a different postcode
95% accuracy with no SLA, Excel files needing manual upload, and zero liability for errors that surface at handover.
Automated tag register generation from P&IDs, delivered into SAP PM
Cross-document reconciliation: P&ID vs instrument index vs datasheet
C&E matrix validation against extracted P&ID tag lists
HAZOP action register digitisation with P&ID revision mapping
MTR traceability register from mill certificates matched to PO line items
Handover package completeness scoring and gap analysis
Turnaround work pack assembly from inspection records
SIL classification consistency checks across document sets
P&IDs (all revisions, all disciplines)
Every tag, line number, instrument, and connection extracted, reconciled across disciplines, and cross-validated against the Instrument Index and C&E matrix.
Cause & Effect Matrices
Safety interlock logic extracted and validated against the P&ID tag list. SIL classification discrepancies flagged before SIL verification begins.
Material Test Records & Mill Certificates
Traceability registers built from 400+ global mill certificate formats. Every heat number matched to PO line items.
Weld Maps & NDT Reports
Weld joint registers assembled from isometric drawings. NDT results extracted. ASME B31.3 acceptance criteria applied.
HAZOP Action Registers
800 to 3,000 page studies structured into queryable registers. P&ID node references mapped to the current revision.
Handover Packages
Mechanical completion package completeness scored. Missing documents flagged. Every item tracked against the contract deliverable list.
How accurate is AI-based P&ID data extraction for EPC projects?
Pathnovo delivers 99.5% field-level accuracy on safety-critical P&ID fields including tag numbers, instrument loops, line numbers, design pressures, and SIL classifications. This is a contractual SLA, not a marketing benchmark. By comparison, generic AI models achieve 60-75% and KPO teams deliver 90-95% with no SLA.
Which enterprise systems receive extracted EPC document data?
Extracted data flows directly into SAP PM S/4HANA, IBM Maximo, AVEVA NET, Hexagon SmartPlant Foundation, and ISO 15926 XML endpoints via pre-certified connectors. No manual Excel re-entry is required. Integration takes two to four weeks from pilot completion.
How does cross-document reconciliation work for EPC handover packages?
Pathnovo's reconciliation engine cross-validates every tag across P&IDs, instrument indexes, datasheets, and C&E matrices. It flags tag conflicts, SIL misclassifications, missing references, and revision drift, catching errors that would otherwise surface during handover QA or commissioning.
How long does it take to process a full P&ID set?
For 5,000 to 20,000 P&IDs, typical turnaround is four to eight weeks for full extraction, reconciliation, and SAP PM loading. Rush processing available.
What accuracy do you guarantee?
99.5% field-level accuracy on safety-critical fields. Contractual SLA with remedy clause.
Can you process legacy drawings from the 1980s?
Yes. Scanned paper drawings, CAD PDFs, DWG files, EDMS exports. Our models handle low-resolution scans and non-standard conventions from any era.
How do you handle ISA 5.1 tag naming conventions?
Our extraction models are trained on ISA 5.1 instrument identification standards. We parse tag prefixes, functional identification letters, and loop numbers automatically, and flag any deviations from the standard.
Do you integrate with SAP PM and other enterprise systems?
Yes. We deliver structured output directly into SAP PM S/4HANA, IBM Maximo, AVEVA NET, Hexagon SmartPlant, and Aconex EDMS via certified connectors. No manual upload required.
What is the pricing model?
We price per document set with a fixed-fee engagement model. You receive a firm quote after a scoping assessment of your document corpus. No per-page surprises.
Do you offer a pilot or trial engagement?
Yes. We run a paid proof-of-value on a representative subset of your documents, typically 200 to 500 P&IDs, so you can validate accuracy and integration before committing to a full programme.
How do you handle data security and confidentiality?
All processing runs in your private cloud or on-premises environment. We sign NDAs and comply with OISD 118 data handling requirements. No document data leaves your infrastructure.
How do you validate C&E matrices against P&IDs?
Our agents cross-reference every tag in the C&E matrix against the extracted P&ID tag list, flag missing or renamed tags, and verify SIL classification consistency per IEC 61511.
What ASME and API standards do you support?
We support ASME B31.3 acceptance criteria for weld inspection, API standards for equipment inspection, and ASME Section VIII for pressure vessel documentation.
How do you compare to manual document processing or KPO teams?
KPO teams deliver 90-95% accuracy with no SLA, Excel outputs needing manual upload, and zero liability. We deliver 99.5% accuracy, direct system integration, contractual SLAs, and full auditability.
What agent capabilities do you offer for EPC projects?
Our AI agents perform autonomous tag register generation, cross-document reconciliation, C&E validation, HAZOP structuring, and MTR traceability, each with human-in-the-loop checkpoints for safety-critical decisions.
Can you scale to handle mega-project document volumes?
Yes. We have processed document sets exceeding 100,000 pages for single projects. Our architecture scales horizontally, and we staff dedicated teams for mega-project engagements.
How do you handle multi-discipline document reconciliation?
We extract data from process, instrumentation, piping, electrical, and civil drawings, then reconcile across disciplines, flagging conflicts such as tag mismatches between the P&ID, instrument index, and datasheet.
What turnaround time do you offer for urgent handover deadlines?
We offer expedited processing with two-week turnaround for critical handover milestones. Dedicated surge capacity is available for payment-milestone deadlines.
