EPCPROMAN + Pathnovo AI Extraction

Add AI document extraction to the EDMS already standardised across L&T Hydrocarbon, HPCL, BPCL, IOCL, GAIL, Tata Projects, Petrofac India, and Toyo Engineering India. Auto-populated MDR + VDR. IBR Form IV + OISD 118 + PESO + CCOE registers. Indian PSU rate-card compatible. EPCPROMAN's workflow stays exactly as your team already uses it.

01

AI Extraction Layer for EPCPROMAN's Document Control Workflow

EPCPROMAN (developed by Parascadd) is the incumbent project document and engineering management system at L&T Hydrocarbon, HPCL, BPCL, IOCL, GAIL, ONGC, Tata Projects, Petrofac India, Toyo Engineering India, and most Indian Tier-1 EPC contractors. EPCPROMAN handles transmittals, MDR, vendor document register, document numbering, and revision control extremely well. What it does not do is read the documents themselves. Pathnovo plugs in upstream of EPCPROMAN's transmittal queue: every PDF, scanned drawing, or vendor data book passes through Pathnovo for extraction first, then lands in EPCPROMAN with the MDR fields, tag list, P&ID register, and compliance flags already populated.

02

Auto-Populated MDR + Vendor Document Register

EPCPROMAN's Master Document Register and Vendor Document Register are normally populated by clerical entry: drawing number, title, revision, discipline, related tags, related equipment IDs, related package number, related PO number, related material grade, hold status. Pathnovo extracts every one of those fields directly from the document on receipt, validates against the project Engineering Drawing & Document List + the Approved Vendor List + the Piping Material Specification, and writes back into EPCPROMAN's MDR through Parascadd's standard import API. A 5,000-document vendor data book that historically took 3-4 weeks of MDR-clerk effort lands populated in 4-6 hours.

03

IBR Form IV / OISD 118 / PESO / CCOE Compliance Output Layered on EPCPROMAN MDR

Indian PSU + private EPC delivery is gated by four regulatory frameworks: IBR Form IV (boiler / pressure vessel certification), OISD 118 (process safety document register), PESO (cross-country pipeline + LPG / propane regulatory), and CCOE (petroleum classified material handling). EPCPROMAN tracks document existence, not regulatory compliance content. Pathnovo extracts the regulatory-relevant fields (IBR-stamped tags + Form IV particulars; OISD 118 §6.0 process safety document checklist; PESO pipeline classification + route; CCOE classified material storage records) and outputs four parallel compliance registers tied to the EPCPROMAN MDR by document number. Indian EPC PMC + IBR Inspecting Authority audits run against the Pathnovo registers, sourced from documents EPCPROMAN already manages.

04

Approved-Vendor + PO Cross-Verification on Mill Certificates

EPCPROMAN tracks the existence of mill certificates as documents in the VDR. Pathnovo additionally reads the certificate, extracts heat number / material grade / Charpy / chemical analysis / dimensional, cross-references against the project Approved Vendor List + open Purchase Order line items + Piping Material Specification, and flags mismatches before the certificate is accepted into the EPC's QC traceability folder. For Indian PSU clients this prevents the most common mill cert dispute (vendor substitution of grade or heat without PO amendment). Pathnovo's mill cert engine handles 180,000+ formats across global suppliers including JSL, Jindal, SAIL, Tata Steel, POSCO, Outokumpu, Aperam, Acerinox.

05

Native Compatibility with Parascadd / EPCPROMAN Indian Workflow

Pathnovo is built for Indian EPC delivery patterns: vernacular legacy drawings (Hindi / regional language stamps), hand-drawn isometrics from 1970s-1990s plants, scanned PDFs from 200-DPI office scanners, vendor data book covers in non-Latin scripts (Korean POSCO, Japanese JFE, Russian Severstal), partial vendor stamps, missing P&ID legend pages, mixed ISO + ISA + Indian standards on the same drawing. Pathnovo's extraction handles these patterns natively without bespoke training. EPCPROMAN's Indian PSU rate-card compatibility extends to Pathnovo: the integration is priced in INR with PSU-aligned commercial terms, including FY-aligned annual contracts and per-document procurement on Indian government-format POs.

06

No EPCPROMAN Disruption: Behind-the-Scenes Intelligence Layer

Pathnovo runs as a silent extraction layer ahead of EPCPROMAN's transmittal inbox. EPCPROMAN's user permissions, transmittal numbering, hold list, distribution matrix, MDR review screens, and Parascadd-managed customisations are all untouched. The end-user experience for the EPC's document controllers, project engineers, and PMC stakeholders is unchanged. Pathnovo's value is invisible: the MDR records simply arrive populated, the compliance registers simply work, and the mill cert exceptions simply surface. No EPCPROMAN administrator training, no Parascadd implementation engagement, no project workflow change.

Pathnovo sits in front of EPCPROMAN's transmittal inbox as an invisible extraction layer. The MDR fills itself, the compliance registers fill themselves, the mill cert PO mismatches surface themselves. EPCPROMAN's workflow does not change.

  1. 1

    Vendor / engineering document arrives at the EPC

    PDF transmittal from a vendor (mill certificate from JSL, vendor data book from Honeywell, instrument datasheet from Yokogawa, P&ID stamp drawing from a third-party detail engineer) lands in the EPC's transmittal inbox. In a typical Indian PSU EPC project this happens 50-200 times per day across thousands of documents.

  2. 2

    Pathnovo extracts before EPCPROMAN ingests

    The transmittal inbox forwards each document to Pathnovo via REST API or scheduled folder sync. Pathnovo extracts the document: drawing number, title, revision, discipline, tag list, equipment IDs, line numbers, instrument indices, mill cert heat numbers, datasheet operating parameters, HAZOP study nodes, MoC reference. Output is a structured JSON payload aligned to EPCPROMAN's MDR field schema + the four Indian compliance registers (IBR / OISD 118 / PESO / CCOE).

  3. 3

    EPCPROMAN imports populated MDR via Parascadd's API

    Pathnovo's structured output is written back into EPCPROMAN through Parascadd's standard MDR / VDR import endpoint. The document is logged in EPCPROMAN with the full MDR row populated, attached to the right package + PO line + tag set. Compliance flags (IBR-applicable, OISD 118-applicable, PESO-applicable, CCOE-applicable) are written into EPCPROMAN's custom field set. Mill cert exceptions are written as MDR-linked QA hold notes.

  4. 4

    EPC + PMC + IBR Inspecting Authority work in EPCPROMAN as usual

    Document controllers, lead engineers, package leads, PMC reviewers, and IBR / OISD 118 / PESO / CCOE inspecting authorities all continue working in EPCPROMAN's familiar interface. The MDR is populated, the compliance registers are exportable in regulator-ready format from a single click, and audit traceability is the same EPCPROMAN audit trail the project already trusts. Pathnovo's role is upstream and invisible.

What is EPCPROMAN?

EPCPROMAN is the integrated Project Document Management + Engineering Management software developed by Parascadd, used as the incumbent EDMS at most Indian Tier-1 EPC contractors and Indian PSU owner-operators. Modules cover transmittal, Master Document Register (MDR), Vendor Document Register (VDR), revision control, hold list, distribution matrix, package management, and the engineering deliverables tracking that Indian EPC delivery patterns require. EPCPROMAN is built specifically around Indian PSU EPC delivery: PMC workflows, IBR / OISD / PESO / CCOE compliance touchpoints, FY-aligned contractual cycles, INR-denominated commercial models, and Indian government procurement formats.

Which clients use EPCPROMAN?

EPCPROMAN is deployed at L&T Hydrocarbon, Tata Projects, HPCL, BPCL, IOCL, GAIL, ONGC, IndianOil, Petrofac India, Toyo Engineering India, EIL (Engineers India Limited), Technip Energies India, ACME Group, and most other Indian Tier-1 EPCs and PSUs. Across the Indian hydrocarbon, fertiliser, petrochemical, and refining sectors, EPCPROMAN is the de-facto EDMS standard for greenfield mega-projects and brownfield revamps that involve Indian PSU funding or client.

How does Pathnovo integrate with EPCPROMAN?

Pathnovo runs as an upstream extraction layer in front of EPCPROMAN's transmittal inbox. Each incoming document (vendor PDF, scanned drawing, mill certificate, datasheet, P&ID, isometric, HAZOP study) is sent to Pathnovo via REST API or scheduled folder sync, extracted to structured JSON aligned to EPCPROMAN's MDR / VDR schema, and written back into EPCPROMAN through Parascadd's standard MDR import endpoint. EPCPROMAN's user interface, transmittal numbering, hold list, package structure, and Parascadd-managed customisations are untouched. The integration is designed to be invisible to EPCPROMAN's document controllers and end users.

Does this require Parascadd's involvement?

Pathnovo's integration uses EPCPROMAN's standard MDR / VDR import API, which is documented by Parascadd and exposed at every EPCPROMAN deployment. For initial integration scoping at a new EPC account, Pathnovo coordinates with the client's EPCPROMAN administrator + Parascadd implementation team to confirm the API endpoint, authentication, custom field mapping, and project-specific MDR taxonomy. For ongoing operation no Parascadd intervention is required: documents flow through Pathnovo and into EPCPROMAN automatically. Pathnovo is open to a formal joint partnership with Parascadd at the product-marketing level; EPCPROMAN customers wanting a coordinated AI extraction rollout can introduce Pathnovo to their Parascadd account team to scope a bundled offer.

How does Pathnovo handle the four Indian compliance frameworks (IBR / OISD 118 / PESO / CCOE)?

Pathnovo extracts the regulatory-relevant content from the same documents EPCPROMAN already manages and outputs four parallel compliance registers tied to the EPCPROMAN MDR by document number: (1) IBR Form IV register: every IBR-applicable tag + Form IV particulars (boiler / pressure vessel registration number, IBR Inspecting Authority code, hydro test record reference, material certification reference); (2) OISD 118 §6.0 process safety document register: HAZOP nodes, MoC records, MoP records, cause-and-effect matrices, PHA closure status; (3) PESO register: cross-country pipeline classification, route, MAOP, valve location, liquid LPG / propane storage records with PESO licence reference; (4) CCOE register: petroleum classified material storage records, classified area drawings, CCOE licence reference. All four registers export from EPCPROMAN in regulator-ready format for IBR Inspecting Authority, OISD auditor, PESO Chief Controller, and CCOE Petroleum & Explosives Safety inspections. See /compliance/indian-epc-compliance-bundle for the underlying compliance pillar.

Does this work for vendor document books from POSCO, JSL, Jindal, JFE, Tata Steel?

Yes. Pathnovo's mill certificate extraction handles 180,000+ formats globally, including major Indian and international suppliers: JSL, Jindal Steel & Power, SAIL, Tata Steel, JSW, POSCO, JFE Steel, Severstal, NLMK, Outokumpu, Aperam, Acerinox, ArcelorMittal, ThyssenKrupp, Sandvik, and most regional ASTM / ASME / EN / IS / GOST / JIS / KS / GB-grade suppliers. Charpy, chemical analysis, dimensional, hardness, NDT, hydro test, MTR, Form IV particulars, heat number, slab number, and product traceability are all extracted. Vendor data books in non-Latin scripts (Korean from POSCO, Japanese from JFE, Russian from Severstal, Chinese from Baosteel) are handled natively. Output writes into EPCPROMAN's VDR with full Approved Vendor List + Purchase Order line item validation.

What is the commercial model?

Credit-based pricing in INR with GSTIN invoicing, aligned to Indian PSU procurement: Starter ₹40,000 + GST per month for 1,000 credits, Professional ₹1,75,000 + GST for 5,000 credits, Scale from ₹6,50,000 + GST for 25,000 credits. For Indian PSU + EPC clients running multi-project EPCPROMAN deployments, Enterprise contracts are FY-aligned (April to March) with rate-card compatibility for L&T, Tata, IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, GAIL, ONGC procurement formats. Indian government-format POs (with GST treatment, TDS, rate-contract clauses) are accepted. Free 14-day trial with 100 credits before any commercial commitment. EPCPROMAN's Parascadd subscription costs are unchanged; Pathnovo is priced separately as the AI extraction add-on layer. See /pricing.

How is this different from EPCPROMAN's own AI / OCR features?

EPCPROMAN's core strength is project document management, transmittal flow, MDR / VDR control, and Indian EPC workflow fit. Where EPCPROMAN includes OCR or template-based extraction, the depth is text recognition for indexing rather than semantic engineering data extraction. Pathnovo's role is the deep semantic layer: parsing P&ID symbology against ISA 5.1, validating piping material specifications against ASME B31.3 + ASME B31.1, cross-checking mill certificates against PO line items, mapping HAZOP study fields to OISD 118 §6.0 expectations, identifying IBR-applicable equipment per IBR Schedule II, and emitting CFIHOS 2.0 + ISO 15926 native structured data alongside the four Indian compliance registers. EPCPROMAN remains the system of record for project documents; Pathnovo adds the engineering data extraction intelligence behind the scenes.

Can Pathnovo + EPCPROMAN extend to AVEVA AIM / Hexagon SDx digital twin programmes?

Yes. Indian PSU + EPC clients increasingly run hybrid stacks: EPCPROMAN as the project EDMS during EPC execution, AVEVA AIM or Hexagon SDx2 as the operations Asset Information Management system after handover. Pathnovo extracts once into CFIHOS 2.0 + ISO 15926 native structured data and feeds both: EPCPROMAN's MDR + VDR + compliance registers during EPC delivery, and AVEVA AIM / Hexagon SDx2 / Cognite Data Fusion / Bentley iTwin during operations handover. The same Pathnovo project produces both outputs without reauthoring or remapping. See /integrations/aveva-connect, /integrations/hexagon-sdx, and /integrations/cognite-data-fusion for the downstream operations integrations. See /solutions/tag-document-register for the bidirectional tag-to-document register that bridges EPC and operations.
