Digitalize Legacy P&ID Drawings with SmartPFID™

Integrate AI Into Your Process Safety Work

Many Piping and Instrumentation Diagram drawings are non-digital simple images, with no capabilities for smart digital twin usage in plant and process management. SmartPFID software uses AI image recognition to transform and enhance legacy Piping and Instrumentation Diagram drawings into a digital format, allowing for their use in many digital applications. Interested? We would love to hear from you.

*Note: SmartPFID™ is currently in it’s pre-alpha development phase.

Import your P&ID drawings in pdf or image file format

Use AI image recognition to detect and label equipment

Embed equipment data (e.g. PRV set pressure) into the P&ID

Export the new digital P&ID to a DEXPI compliant .xml file for subsequent use

Import Legacy P&ID Drawings

SmartPFID™ makes it easy to bring your existing process documentation into the digital age. Whether you're working with decades-old scans or more recent PDFs, our tool supports seamless import of legacy P&ID drawings — no manual rework required.

Upload P&ID drawings in pdf or image format

Save thousands of hours of manual tasks
Get your P&IDs ready for smart plant integration without redrafting

Digitalize P&ID Drawings Using AI

Once imported, SmartPFID™ uses advanced AI image recognition to analyze your legacy P&IDs. The tool automatically identifies and labels key process equipment, dramatically reducing manual effort and paving the way for intelligent, data-driven plant management.

Automatically detect equipment, pipelines, and instrumentation
AI-driven recognition speeds up processing and reduces human error
Consistent tagging across multiple drawings for improved accuracy
Eliminate the need for tedious manual markup or CAD conversion

Embed Equipment Data

Turn static drawings into living documents by embedding key process data directly into each identified asset. SmartPFID™ supports the DEXPI standard, enabling structured, interoperable data integration for smarter operations and maintenance.
