P&ID digitization

Turn “dead” diagrams into live P&IDs that work for you

If your P&IDs are PDFs or ordinary AutoCAD drawings, you have a problem.

And it is not a small one.

You have drawings…

but you have no data.

You have diagrams…

but you have no control.

You have information…

but you cannot put it to use.

And in engineering, that comes at a cost.

Process P&ID diagram in AutoCAD

The real problem (even if nobody mentions it)

Every time someone on your team needs to:

- find a valve,

- check a line,

- update a piece of equipment,

- or generate a list…

they lose time

they make mistakes

they duplicate work

Because your P&IDs were not designed to be used, just to be viewed.

The solution: true digitization in AutoCAD P&ID

This is more than redrawing a document.

It means turning your P&IDs into an engineering tool.

We transform your process diagrams (PDF or AutoCAD) into native AutoCAD P&IDs, fully structured, standardized and ready to grow with you.

What exactly do we do?

1.- Full conversion to AutoCAD P&ID

- We convert your PDF or AutoCAD P&IDs into native AutoCAD P&IDs

- Each element stops being “a drawing” and becomes an intelligent object

- Lines, valves, equipment, instruments… all assigned the correct type

No shortcuts. No quick fixes.

2.- We build YOUR standard (not a generic one)

Every company works differently.

Your P&IDs should reflect that.

That is why:

- We create your custom symbols

- We define the information each element holds

- We adapt the standard to the way you actually work, not the other way around

The result:

Consistent P&IDs today… and in 5 years' time.

3.- We structure the data that matters to you

We do not add information for its own sake.

Together, we define:

- Which attributes each piece of equipment needs

- Which data should appear on lines, valves and instruments

- What is critical for operations, maintenance or projects

Less noise

More practical value

4.- Automatic lists, clear and tailored to you

We create the list formats you need, which can match those you already use:

- Line lists

- Valves

- Equipment

- Instrumentation

Always:

- Consistent

- Automatic

- Exportable

- Updated with one click

Change the P&ID and the list changes too.

That is how it should work. Every time.

Who is this service for?

✔ Engineering firms

✔ Industrial plants

✔ Technical departments

✔ Companies that want order and control

✔ Teams that do not want to redo their work every year

Above all:

for anyone who values their time and wants to reduce errors.

What do you gain?

- Fewer wasted hours

- Fewer errors in projects and on site

More control over information

P&IDs ready to grow, change and scale

A clear standard that does not depend on individuals

In short:

P&IDs that work for you, not the other way around.

How we work

1️⃣ We analyse your existing P&IDs

2️⃣ We define the standard with you

3️⃣ We digitize and structure

4️⃣ We validate with you

5️⃣ We deliver a system you can use from day one

No complications.

No endless dependency.

No surprises.

If your P&IDs are currently…

- in PDF format

- “drawn” but unstructured

- raising more questions than they answer

Then this service is not a luxury.

It is a smart decision.

Tell us what you have and what you need

and we will explain exactly how to turn it into working P&IDs.

Because in engineering,

order is not optional.

It pays off.

What you receive and how you can use it

You receive native AutoCAD P&IDs with the symbols and data agreed with you, plus line, valve, equipment and instrumentation list formats tailored to the way you work.

Structured information helps you find elements, check lines, update equipment and generate lists for operations, maintenance and projects.

What we need to prepare your quote

The more information you provide, the more accurately we can price your P&ID digitization project. If you do not have all the details, we can still give you a price if you email us the following:

- 1 high-density P&ID

- 1 medium-density P&ID

- 1 low-density P&ID

- The number of P&IDs at each density

If you have these answers ready, we can prepare your quote more quickly and accurately.

As you may have read elsewhere on this website, we take a reasonable, consistent approach and look for clients who do the same.

Connect your diagrams with the existing condition of your plant

If you also need to capture the geometry of an existing plant, explore our industrial 3D laser scanning. To work with a model of the existing elements, see our As-Built modeling in Revit and Plant 3D.

Process information and geometry serve different purposes. Tell us what you need so we can define the scope of each service.

Frequently asked questions about P&ID digitization

What do you need to quote for P&ID digitization?

One high-density P&ID, one medium-density P&ID, one low-density P&ID and the number of P&IDs at each density. This information helps us refine the quote.

Can you work from PDFs or AutoCAD drawings?

Yes. We convert process diagrams in PDF or AutoCAD into structured, standardized native AutoCAD P&IDs.

Can you adapt the symbols, data and lists?

Yes. Together, we define the custom symbols, the information each element holds and the format of the line, valve, equipment and instrumentation lists.

Which P&IDs do you need to digitize?

Tell us what you need. We review your project with no obligation and prepare a technical and commercial proposal tailored to your requirements.
