Streamlining Equipment Tag Extraction to Reflect Technical Drawings 

Asset-intensive organizations often struggle with incomplete and inaccurate equipment lists in their Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) or Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS). These systems need accurate data to function effectively. The best way to ensure this accuracy is by reviewing technical drawings to extract a complete list of equipment. Having precise data saves time and effort, eliminating the need to manually search through documents. 

In brownfield projects (modifying or upgrading existing facilities), the data often doesn’t match the technical drawings. In greenfield projects (new constructions), the data provided by Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) companies is sometimes not checked against the technical drawings at all. These inconsistencies create major problems because databases like EAM, CMMS, and SAP Plant Maintenance rely on precise asset data to operate properly. 

• Data Discrepancies: Discrepancies between data and technical drawings lead to inefficiencies and errors.  

• Manual Conversion: The laborious process of manually converting paper documents, scanned photocopies, or flat images into digital formats is prone to errors and requires constant rework.  

The Consequences  

• Operational Inefficiencies: Discrepancies and errors can cause significant delays and operational inefficiencies.  

• Increased Costs: Manual processes increase labor costs and project timelines.  

Having a system that efficiently validates data against technical drawings would revolutionize equipment tag extraction, making it a smooth process and drastically reducing manual search time.  

• AI Validation: Leveraging AI to automatically validate and extract data from technical drawings.  

• Digitization: Converting legacy diagrams into digital formats to ensure accuracy and consistency.
