DataSeer uses AI to automatically detect, label and extract information from engineering diagrams, lists & reports.
Analyze and extract the data you need from Diagrams - in minutes.
DataSeer’s search function is up to 100 times faster than manual searches. Get more accurate and consistent results faster using the latest advances in AI. DataSeer automates the extraction of industrial symbols, lines, tables & text into easy-to-use, standard output formats that fit into your existing workflows.
DataSeer, built by and for engineers.
DataSeer was built in close collaboration with users at some of the largest engineering firms in the world, who we are proud to call our customers. The system is powered by Artificial Intelligence and continuously trained on tens of thousands of diagrams to automatically recognize the most common symbols in seconds. With detection errors of <1% and an intuitive verification workflow, DataSeer significantly improves quality control and quality assurance of data extraction at scale.
Rapidly identify & categorize symbols and associate them to lines and text labels using Computer Vision and Machine Learning
Review & approve automatic results via an intuitive user interface, run customized searches and share projects with collaborators
Search and find any text across hundreds of diagrams in seconds, including extraction of tables and forms to editable formats
Transforming the use of Industrial Drawings
We help teams do
their best work.
With DataSeer, your team can focus on what matters most. DataSeer dramatically decreases time spent staring at industrial diagrams and manually extracting information, with many users reporting 90%+ time savings in their project work compared to previous processes.
DataSeer in Action
Locate symbols & text
DataSeer automatically detects and identifies all instances of relevant symbols and associated text. Custom symbols, text and associations are quickly searchable and added into the extraction.
Estimate costs for fabrication & construction
DataSeer delivers a drastic decrease in time spent extracting objects, lines and tables as part of material take offs in the estimation process. Our customers deliver more competitive bids in faster time.
Create line, valve & instrument lists
DataSeer allows for easy export of symbol & line counts and categories into standardized CSV format for quick incorporation into your existing workflows.
Accelerate QA & QC
As part of a QA/QC process, line lists, instrument indexes and valve schedules can be quickly extracted from client deliverables for comparison to specifications before issuing documents.
Extract table, forms & lists
Protect security & privacy
CASE STUDY
A large EPC wanted to improve accuracy and reduce the time its workforce spent working with engineering drawings in order to optimize its cost-estimation process. Improper cost estimation throughout the industry leads to cost overrun, delayed schedules, scope-creep, and many other project-related failures. A proper estimate minimizes overall risk, promotes good work practices, and ensures a greater level of customer satisfaction.
Using DataSeer, process engineers extracted information (counts, attributes, connectivity) about valves, instruments and line numbers from diagram PDF images in brownfield engineering projects or during bid phases, where CAD source formats are not available.
The EPC firm expects to reduce their process time in identifying material counts by 90%. This increased efficiency and accuracy will result in lower direct costs for producing bids. Additionally, the increased accuracy and reduced time to develop a bid mitigates the inherent risk in the bid amount, especially when lump-sum pricing is needed. Improving confidence in the estimates empowers the company to make more effective bids and ultimately be awarded more projects.

CASE STUDY
A Canadian engineering services provider had to conduct a risk assessment on piping & equipment as part of an operator’s Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) program in order to understand existing operational health of facilities at the equipment level and piping level.
They extracted operating conditions such as temperature & pressure from fixed equipment and piping line numbers from 109 P&IDs containing 230 equipment and 817 line numbers using DataSeer’s symbol & text extraction and line association functionalities.
Total time taken to extract operating conditions of equipment & piping was reduced by 44% using DataSeer compared to manual data extraction that took 7 hours.
