How to Migrate Dumb P&IDS to an intelligent format using an AI based solution

Digitisation is a buzzword today in the engineering world and the “need of the hour”, in the interest of re-using legacy data as well as not losing data due to dilapidation of the original physical copies. Industry 4.0 recommendations mandate that all data should be in an intelligent digital format. For an oil & gas / process plant in operation, legacy data digitisation and migration to an intelligent format, is by far the most challenging task. Without automation in place this becomes a very daunting task and a labour intensive and expensive one.

Plant Owner’s & EPCs’ Challenges / Pain points:

·      Legacy data is locked in PDFs, reuse of such data for a new project would amount to recreating the data.

·      How to harness this data and migrate it to an intelligent format without spending huge man hours?

·      With the existence of multiple sources of data, it is very difficult to find data that is consistent and this negatively impacts the safety and operational efficiency of the plant.

·      Digitization and Industry 4.0 Implementation mandates all data to be in digital format as well as intelligent.

Here is where Intelligent Project Solutions, Inc., – IPS- a Vancouver headquartered company comes in with its AI based technology built on machine learning, deep learning, image processing as well as Natural language processing algorithms to automate the repetitive and non-value adding tasks. Using this technology IPS has helped many of its global customers gain around 50% efficiency & productivity in harnessing the locked engineering data.

iDrawings for P&ID Migration

What’s New:  

·      A much-matured AI Solution with updated user interface:  iDrawings AI has reached a new level of maturity and it is now possible to achieve 70-90% accuracy while migrating to the destination CAD system, this will certainly bring down the overall cost and time of migration.  

·      Further price reduction of 30%: Due to this improved efficiency, the price is lowered by 30%, thus extending the benefit of the improved efficiency and improved price to end users. 

·      30% improved schedule benefits: With the improved AI technology, IPS’s generalized AI model can significantly reduce initial model training time for most of the standards. In one week, with limited data, IPS AI can achieve close to 60% accuracy in recognition, and this results in a jump-start for projects and cuts project schedule by 30-40%. With more and more data AI can improve the accuracy further to finally reach the maximum of 70-90%.  

Delivery Models

Service model: Many customers prefer to manage the digitisation of P&IDs in a service mode, which means they look for a one stop solution and expect that the output P&IDS are 100% compliant to their needs and in the target CAD system of choice. For these customers IPS delivers a complete package of 100% compliant P&IDs assisted by their global partner network who help with the last mile manual tidying up & QA/QC.

SaaS model: Equally, there are customers who would like to execute the last mile tidying up and QA/QC using their own team or existing partners. For such customers IPS offers the iDrawings as a SaaS product with a pay-per-use commercial deployment, hosted on the public cloud or a cloud of customer’s choice. IPS has its own global network of channel partners who are offered our solutions in a SaaS model and they in turn perform the last mile tidying, QA/QC and provide the migrated drawings to their customers.
