With DataSeer Drawing Takeoff Tool you can:

Identify, extract & convert unstructured drawings and documents such as pdf files & scanned images and transform them to standard output formats that fit your workflows: auto-recognize objects, text, and lines with Computer Vision. Utilize our built-in symbol libraries or build your own custom symbol libraries with real-time Machine Learning. Ensure data accuracy with built-in workflows that maximize human-in-the-loop feedback.

Convert legacy drawings to CAD - Upload P&IDs, mechanical equipment schematics, and electrical single-line diagrams and convert into formats to support the creation of digital twins. AutoCAD and Hexagon SmartPlant P&ID formats supported.

Manage Data - Use the Auto-Grouping Module to define subsystems / asset hierarchies and the Table Extraction tool to maintain table integrity in data digitization

Integration Summary

A suite of AI-based software tools that identify, capture, and deploy critical data used for material takeoffs, estimation, simulations, digital twins, asset performance management, ICS Security, commissioning, decommissioning, and compliance.

DataSeer is an intuitive, off-the-shelf suite of tools for process drawings and documents such as P&IDs and comes with a pre-trained default process & instrumentation symbol library.

Machine learning enables users to build and train their unique symbol library templates, including those from additional engineering disciplines, such as electrical, HVAC, and mechanical.

How it works

Users upload their PDF drawings and data sheets from their local machine into DataSeer. They can either use DataSeer's built-in P&ID symbol library or build their own custom symbol libraries via AI to auto-recognize symbols, extract text attributes and associate lines to symbols. DataSeer has a built-in data verification workflow so users can make corrections & give feedback for model improvements.

Data can be exported out of the tool in standard CSV or CAD output formats.

At this time, DataSeer works best on non-CSA (Civil, Structural, Architectural) drawings.

About DataSeer, Inc.

DataSeer, Inc. is a Houston-based Software-as-a-Service provider serving the needs of the process industries, including oil & gas, chemical, biopharma, agriculture/food, semiconductor, water, recycling, engineering & construction service providers, owner/operators, and software companies. DataSeer has sixteen (16) customers located in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Information unlocked using DataSeer is critical for material take-offs, estimation, retrofits, commissioning/decommissioning, Asset Performance Management, Simulations, Digital Twins, and OT / ICS cybersecurity.

As an Estimating Director from a major EPC company stated, "For DataSeer, we saw ... an increased accuracy because it wasn't getting tired and it was consistent. If we had to find something (done) incorrectly in DataSeer, it was consistently picking it up that way, and we could go back and adjust correctly if we needed to. It was fast."
