Comparisons · Bentley OpenPlant
In progressArmeta and Bentley OpenPlant.
The same complementary pattern as Hexagon Smart P&ID and AVEVA P&ID. OpenPlant is for structured authoring and project delivery inside the Bentley engineering ecosystem. Armeta is for the legacy and inherited drawing archive that never entered OpenPlant in the first place.

What this page will cover
- 01What OpenPlant does — structured P&ID authoring, modeling, and delivery, with data continuity into the broader Bentley infrastructure stack.
- 02The scope gap — operators and EPCs who have adopted OpenPlant for new project delivery still inherit PDF and legacy drawing archives from every prior era of the facility's life.
- 03Where Armeta fits — reading that inherited archive, producing structured engineering data, and delivering output that can be loaded alongside native OpenPlant data or consumed through API.
- 04Integration path — mapping Armeta's engineering graph to the OpenPlant data model and pushing through structured export or direct API integration.
- 05Typical deployment — EPC contractors delivering OpenPlant projects on brownfield scope, and operators modernizing selected units while keeping the broader archive outside the authoring tool.
- 06Where the tools don't overlap — Armeta is not an authoring environment. OpenPlant is not a drawing ingestion engine for unstructured archives.
Your drawings, your data
Start with ten of your own drawings.
Reference pages describe what Armeta does. The fastest way to know what it does for your team is to run it on your actual P&IDs.
