Cognite Data Fusion
+ Pathnovo ISO 15926 Extraction

Cognite Data Fusion is the industrial DataOps + knowledge graph platform from Cognite (Oslo, Norway, est. 2016, $338M+ funding, $1.6B valuation, 7.4% Saudi Aramco stake). Ingests structured operational data (sensor data, maintenance records, ERP transactions, EAM workflows) and contextualises it into a knowledge graph using ISO 15926 + CFIHOS-aligned semantic model. Customer base: BP, Saudi Aramco, Aker BP, TechnipFMC, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, TotalEnergies (39 assets), Cosmo Energy (3 Japanese refineries). Cloud SaaS only; enterprise pricing.

Via standard data feed. Pathnovo extracts structured engineering data from any source format (PDF, scanned drawing, third-party CAD, HAZOP study, mill cert, vendor data book), emits ISO 15926 Part 4 RDL RDF / OWL native output, and delivers it into Cognite Data Fusion via Cognite's standard RDF graph ingestion. Cognite's workflow, contextualisation engine, and application ecosystem are untouched. Pathnovo provides the engineering document extraction layer that Cognite cannot natively ingest.

Pathnovo's Cognite Data Fusion integration is built as a partnership-aligned joint deployment pattern. Formal Cognite Solution Partner directory listing is in development per the Pathnovo + Cognite partner roadmap. For owner-operators and EPCs interested in joint Pathnovo + Cognite deployments, both Pathnovo and Cognite Solution Partner channels support the introduction and integration process.

No. Pathnovo is complementary, not competitive. Cognite Data Fusion provides industrial DataOps + knowledge graph + contextualisation that Pathnovo does not aim to replace. Pathnovo's role is upstream extraction: read documents Cognite cannot ingest natively, emit ISO 15926-native structured data, feed Cognite Data Fusion. Pathnovo + Cognite is a stronger combination than Cognite alone for any Cognite customer with brownfield, multi-vendor, or non-AVEVA-authored content. See /alternatives/cognite-data-fusion for the full alternative comparison framing.

Yes, this is the headline use case. Cognite-committed owner-operators (Aker BP, Saudi Aramco, BP, Shell, TotalEnergies, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) running brownfield plant digitisation have decades of legacy P&IDs + isometrics + datasheets in PDF / scanned format that Cognite cannot ingest natively. Pathnovo bridges the gap: extract from PDF / scanned / third-party CAD sources, emit ISO 15926 RDF native, feed Cognite Data Fusion. Compresses brownfield digitisation from 18-36 month manual ingestion to 12-20 weeks structured Pathnovo extraction.

Any engineering document format: native PDF, scanned PDF (any DPI from 150 up), AutoCAD DWG / DXF, MicroStation DGN, ISOGEN PCF / IDF outputs, hand-drawn drawings scanned as TIFF or JPEG, photographed drawings from mobile cameras, AVEVA P&ID exports, AVEVA Diagrams exports, SmartPlant exports, OpenPlant exports, Word / Excel datasheets, HAZOP study PDFs, and mill certificate PDFs in 180,000+ formats across English, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Russian, Hindi, Arabic.

Yes. Cognite customers span Norway (Oslo HQ + Aker BP + Equinor + multiple Norwegian Continental Shelf operators), Middle East (Aramco 7.4% stake; ADNOC ecosystem), Japan (Cosmo Energy refineries; Mitsubishi Heavy Industries), and global oil & gas majors (BP, Shell, TotalEnergies). Pathnovo's deployment-options model (see /solutions/deployment-options) provides regional data residency: Azure UAE North + AWS Riyadh for Middle East, Azure West Europe for Norway / EU, AWS Tokyo region for Japan, Azure Singapore for SE Asia. Multi-language extraction (Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic) supports Cognite's global customer footprint.

Credit-based, with the full platform included on every paid tier. Starter is ₹40,000/$1,200 per month for 1,000 credits, Professional is ₹1,75,000/$5,500 for 5,000 credits, Scale starts at ₹6,50,000/$20,000 for 25,000 credits. Organisations running Cognite Data Fusion across multiple simultaneous projects typically move to Scale or Enterprise. Free 14-day trial with 100 credits to validate on a single Cognite deployment scope. Indian PSU rate-card compatibility available. Cognite Data Fusion subscription costs are unchanged; Pathnovo is priced separately as the upstream extraction layer. See /pricing.

(1) Tier-1 owner-operators with multi-year Cognite digital transformation programmes and significant brownfield content (refineries, petrochemical plants, fertiliser, LNG, offshore platforms); (2) Cognite Solution Partners executing implementation rollouts where the data ingestion phase is the bottleneck; (3) Multi-vendor owner-operators consolidating AVEVA + Hexagon + Bentley + legacy assets into one Cognite knowledge graph; (4) Indian PSU + Gulf NOC Cognite deployments needing IBR / OISD / PESO / CCOE compliance overlays alongside Cognite's industrial DataOps; (5) Norwegian Continental Shelf + Japanese refinery brownfield Cognite deployments needing regional language + regulatory expertise.
