Piping Fabrication Shop
Software, Iso to BOM
AI-powered MTO extraction from isometric drawings for piping fabrication shops. Cutting lists, weld schedules, and material requisitions, from legacy isometrics in minutes, not hours.
MTOs are compiled manually from isometrics
Fabrication shops receive hundreds of isometric drawings per project. Estimators spend days extracting pipe lengths, fittings, and weld counts manually, with 5-10% error rates that affect procurement and scheduling.
Cutting lists take hours per isometric
Converting isometric data into cut-to-length pipe schedules requires manual measurement of every pipe run, every bevel, and every fit-up gap.
Weld schedules are built from scratch for every project
Every weld joint needs WPS assignment, NDE method selection, and PWHT flagging based on material grade and thickness, manually repeated for every isometric.
Material procurement is based on estimates, not data
Without accurate MTOs, fabrication shops over-order by 15-25% to avoid shortages. The excess becomes scrap or slow-moving inventory.

Isometric Drawings
Legacy hand-drawn and CAD isometric drawings processed. Pipe runs, fittings, flanges, and weld joints extracted.
Cutting Lists
Cut-to-length pipe schedules with bevel specifications, fit-up gaps, and material grades.
Weld Schedules
Weld joint registers with type, size, WPS assignment, NDE requirements, and PWHT specs.
Material Requisitions
Consolidated material requirements by specification, size, and material grade.
Why do piping fabrication shops need automated MTO extraction?
Piping fabrication shops receive hundreds of isometric drawings per project. Each drawing requires manual extraction of pipe lengths, fittings, flanges, weld joints, and material grades. Manual MTO takes 2-4 hours per isometric with 5-10% error. At scale, this means days of estimator time and 15-25% material over-ordering. Pathnovo automates the entire process to minutes per isometric with 99.5% accuracy.
What makes piping fabrication shop software different from EPC MTO tools?
EPC MTO tools extract from 3D models. Fabrication shops work from 2D isometric drawings, often hand-drawn or printed from legacy systems. Pathnovo is the only product that reads existing 2D isometrics to generate MTOs, cutting lists, and weld schedules for fabrication use.
Can you process legacy hand-drawn isometric drawings?
Yes. Pathnovo is the only product that extracts piping MTO from scanned hand-drawn isometrics. We handle faded drawings, hand-annotations, and non-standard conventions from any era.
What data is extracted from isometrics?
Pipe lengths, fitting types and counts, flange specifications, fastener requirements, weld joint types, material grades, specification breaks, and support locations.
How does this help fabrication shops?
Fabrication shops get accurate cutting lists, weld schedules, and material requisitions from isometrics in minutes instead of hours. This reduces material waste, improves scheduling accuracy, and eliminates manual extraction errors.
Do you serve fabrication shops in Gujarat?
Yes. We serve piping fabrication shops in the Surat-Mumbai-Vadodara corridor. Our pricing starts at Rs.75/page, making it accessible for fabrication shops of all sizes.
