Armeta's contextualization engine reads any legacy PDF P&ID — scanned paper, rasterized CAD plots, flat image exports, faded reproductions from decades-old archives — and turns it into structured, connected engineering data. Cross-drawing connectivity is resolved automatically, so off-page connectors are reconciled across your entire drawing set into a facility-wide engineering knowledge graph.
The P&ID is the master schematic of your process. Armeta extracts every operationally meaningful entity on the sheet — not just text, but the engineering objects that text represents.
Vessels, columns, exchangers, drums, pumps, compressors, packages — every tagged equipment item identified, classified, and linked to its source region.
Every line on every sheet, with line number, size, spec, service, and routing parsed from the line label and resolved against your numbering convention.
Transmitters, indicators, switches, controllers, analyzers — both inline and panel-mounted — with their loop tags and signal connections.
Control valves, on/off valves, motorized valves, and their actuators, identified by tag and resolved to their controlling instrument loop.
Pressure relief valves, rupture disks, flame arrestors, and emergency isolation valves — captured with their setpoints and the systems they protect.
Every alphanumeric tag, callout, note, and revision cloud, captured with its position so engineers can audit extractions against the source drawing.
Every off-sheet reference identified, paired across the drawing set, and resolved into directional connections in the facility graph.
Drawing number, revision, sheet, project, area, unit — pulled directly from the title block and used as the indexing key for every other extraction.
A single process unit lives across dozens to hundreds of P&ID sheets. The engineering reality of the unit is the connectivity between those sheets— not the contents of any one drawing in isolation.
Armeta resolves cross-sheet connectivity automatically. Off-page connectors are identified, paired, and reconciled into a directional graph that spans the full drawing set.
Each sheet is processed independently. Equipment, lines, instruments, and off-page connectors are identified at the symbol level, with every extraction tied back to a specific region on the source drawing.
Off-page connectors are identified regardless of style: triangle, arrow, circle, or vendor-specific. Each connector carries its referenced drawing, sheet, and line number into the graph so the next step has unambiguous handles to reconcile against.
Connectors are matched across the full drawing set. A line leaving sheet 12 toward sheet 34 is paired with the matching connector on sheet 34. Conflicts, dangling references, and revision mismatches are surfaced as discrepancies rather than silently dropped.
The reconciled set becomes a single, navigable engineering knowledge graph. Equipment tags trace back to source drawings, lines trace end-to-end through every sheet they touch, and the whole facility is addressable as structured data.
The P&ID is the anchor document, but it is not the only record. Armeta resolves entities across documents so the same line, the same tag, and the same equipment item carry one identity across drawings and data tables.
Equipment tags are normalized and matched against isometric title-block references and line list equipment columns. Soft matches (formatting variants, leading zeros, hyphens) are reconciled; hard mismatches are flagged for review rather than guessed.
Sizes, specs, services, and operating conditions are compared across documents. A line tagged 6" on the P&ID and 8" on the line list is surfaced as a discrepancy, not silently averaged. The graph keeps both values with their source documents.
Once the P&ID is structured and connected, every downstream workflow stops starting from scratch. The engineering knowledge that used to be re-derived for every project becomes a queryable data layer.
Armeta does not require smart PDFs. The vast majority of the global P&ID archive exists as flat images: scanned paper, rasterized CAD plots, and faded reproductions. No embedded metadata, no selectable text, no vector layers. The contextualization engine reads them all.
If your team is working from the documents you actually have rather than an idealized smart-PDF set, Armeta meets you where the archive lives.
Decades-old paper P&IDs, scanned at any resolution, with smudges, fold lines, and stamp marks — read as-is.
Flat-image PDF exports from legacy CAD systems with no embedded metadata, no selectable text, and no vector layer.
Photocopies of photocopies, faded blueprints, low-contrast microfilm scans — the documents your archive actually contains.
Sets that span symbol conventions across decades and authoring tools. Armeta adapts to your conventions sheet by sheet.
Every P&ID extraction Armeta delivers is validated by our engineering team before it reaches you. Accuracy metrics on your own drawings are produced as part of the initial document audit — our ten-document free assessment that establishes baseline performance before any paid engagement.
Every extracted graph is reviewed by an Armeta engineer against the source drawing before delivery. Not raw model output.
Every entity in the graph is linked back to the exact region on the source sheet it was extracted from. Auditable, click-through, defensible.
Equipment-, line-, and instrument-level sampling against ground truth on every engagement. Accuracy metrics produced on your own drawings.
Change reports between revisions are reviewed against both source drawings before MOC packages are produced.
Three deployment modes, chosen to match the security and governance constraints your engineering records actually live under.
Fastest time to value
Armeta-hosted, isolated per customer. Your engineering documents and extracted data remain segregated from every other customer environment.
Your network, your perimeter
Armeta's contextualization engine runs inside your network. Your documents never leave your environment. Deployed with customers today under data residency and air-gap requirements.
Managed inside your tenant
Armeta-managed deployment inside your own cloud tenant. Cloud operational model, customer-controlled perimeter.
Before any procurement conversation, see Armeta run on your actual P&IDs — sheet by sheet, with cross-drawing connectivity resolved. Not sample data. Not a generic demo. Your drawings, contextualized, delivered as a structured report in one engagement.
