Bentley ProjectWise
+ Pathnovo AI Extraction

Bentley ProjectWise is the global engineering document management system (EDMS) leader, with 90,000+ deployment sites worldwide. It provides centralised storage, version control, transmittals, review workflows, and collaboration for engineering documents across architecture, engineering, and construction. Tightly integrated with Bentley's MicroStation, OpenPlant, OpenRoads, OpenBridge, and the iTwin platform. Used by BP, Chevron, Shell, AECOM, Jacobs, and tier-1 EPC contractors globally.

Via REST API. Pathnovo subscribes to ProjectWise events (document check-in, revision, transmittal arrival), reads the document content, extracts structured metadata and engineering data, and writes back enriched fields directly to ProjectWise document properties. The ProjectWise workflow, security model, and user interface are untouched. Configurable to scope: by project, discipline, document class, or date range.

No. Pathnovo is complementary. ProjectWise provides workflow, security, version control, and the established document management surface that thousands of users already work in daily. Pathnovo adds the document intelligence layer that ProjectWise cannot provide on its own: reading documents, extracting structured engineering data, feeding compliance registers and digital twins. They work as one integrated system.

ProjectWise stores documents. Pathnovo reads them and extracts structured asset data. iTwin holds the asset model and serves the digital twin. Pathnovo bridges the document layer (ProjectWise) and the asset layer (iTwin). Without Pathnovo, populating iTwin with brownfield asset data from existing ProjectWise documents requires extensive manual modelling. With Pathnovo, ProjectWise documents flow into iTwin as structured asset entities automatically. CFIHOS and ISO 15926-compliant output preserves Bentley's standard schemas.

Any engineering document stored in ProjectWise: native PDF, scanned PDF, Bentley DGN, AutoCAD DWG / DXF, MicroStation files, Word, Excel, image formats (TIFF, JPEG, PNG), and proprietary OpenPlant exports. P&IDs, isometrics, datasheets, equipment lists, instrument indexes, mill certificates, HAZOP studies, vendor submittals, and transmittals are all in scope.

Pathnovo has built the ProjectWise and iTwin integration as a technical partnership pattern aligned to the iTwin Developer Network programme. For owner-operators and EPCs interested in formal Pathnovo + Bentley joint deployments, both Pathnovo and Bentley channels support the introduction and integration process.

(1) Global EPC contractors managing mega-project document volumes on ProjectWise: eliminate manual MDR data entry; (2) Owner-operators digitising legacy assets archived in ProjectWise into a digital twin (iTwin or third-party): Pathnovo unlocks the structured data; (3) Multi-EPC owner-operators consolidating contractor deliverables: Pathnovo extracts uniformly across vendor variations; (4) ProjectWise + iTwin Capture Operations programmes: Pathnovo accelerates the data ingestion phase that typically stretches implementations to multi-year.
