Google Maps for Process Plants

Your plant is documented. It is not navigable.

PlantFCE Maps turns PDF P&IDs and isometrics into synchronized engineering layers for tracing equipment, lines, connected drawings, and process context.

The Problem

Engineers still navigate plants by memory.

P&IDs contain the plant's logic, but they were designed as static documents. Finding the right drawing, following an off-page connector, tracing a line across sheets, checking linked equipment, and reviewing changes still depends on file names, drawing numbers, manual cross-references, and experienced engineers.

Engineers often move between P&IDs and Isometrics during review, planning, and execution, but the documents do not move together. The P&ID shows process intent. The Isometric shows physical piping detail. They are not synchronized.

The Solution

PlantFCE Maps: from static drawings to visual navigation.

Maps keeps the documents engineers already trust and adds a navigable layer on top: search, click, trace, isolate, compare, switch layers, and export.

Interactive P&ID navigation

Move from equipment to lines, from lines to connected drawings, and from drawings to process context.

Line and equipment tracing

Select a tag or line and follow its connections across the plant.

Connected drawing context

Link P&IDs, plot plans, datasheets, isometrics, line lists, and vendor documents where needed.

Synchronized layers

Move between P&ID and isometric views like map layers. Select a line or equipment item in one layer and keep the same context when switching to another.

Process-to-physical navigation

Follow the process logic on the P&ID, then switch to the isometric layer to see the physical piping context for review, planning, or execution.

Review overlays

Add temporary study overlays, compare revisions, and preserve review context.

The Layers

One plant. Multiple engineering layers.

A process plant is not understood through one drawing type. P&IDs explain how the process works. Isometrics explain how piping is built. Maps bring both into a synchronized visual workspace, so engineers can switch layers without losing the line, equipment, or document context they were reviewing.

P&ID Layer

Trace process logic, equipment, instruments, lines, and off-page connectors.

Isometric Layer

Review physical piping detail, spools, dimensions, supports, and construction context.

Synchronized Context

Select an item once and keep it active as you move between engineering views.

How It Works

From engineering PDFs to navigable plant context.

The workflow starts with the drawings your team already uses and ends with synchronized layers engineers can search, trace, review, and validate.

01
Upload existing drawings

Start with the P&IDs and isometrics your team already uses.

02
Detect visual entities

Identify tags, equipment, lines, symbols, tables, notes, and piping references.

03
Build engineering connections

Link equipment, lines, off-page connectors, isometric references, and related documents.

04
Create synchronized map layers

Generate P&ID and isometric layers that stay connected by tag, line, equipment, and document context.

05
Navigate visually

Search, click, trace, isolate, and switch layers without losing your place.

06
Review and export

Validate data, add overlays, compare revisions, and export to Excel, JSON, PDF overlays, Bluebeam, or customer systems.

Use Cases

Built for engineering review workflows.

PlantFCE Maps is designed for the review work that already starts with P&IDs and often ends in isometrics: tracing context, checking impacts, comparing revisions, and preparing engineers to make decisions faster.

HAZOP preparation and conduct

Bring P&IDs, process data, and node context into one visual workspace.

MOC impact review

Start from the affected line on the P&ID, switch to the isometric layer, and review the physical piping context before approving a change.

Turnaround planning

Move from process systems to physical piping views to locate work areas, spools, tie-ins, and related documentation.

Line tracing and equipment lookup

Follow process paths across multiple drawings without manual cross-referencing.

MTO and estimation support

Use the P&ID layer for process scope and the isometric layer for piping quantities, dimensions, and construction context.

Construction and field support

Keep process intent and physical piping detail connected during site review, punch listing, or package verification.

Why PlantFCE Maps

Your drawings, your environment, your workflow.

PDF-native

Designed around the engineering PDFs teams already use.

Engineer-in-the-loop

Keeps review, validation, and correction in the workflow.

Local or on-premise capable

Suitable for environments where engineering documents cannot be freely uploaded to third-party systems.

Built from EPC experience

Developed around real process plant review, HAZOP, MOC, and project workflows.

Your plant already has a map.
Let's make it navigable.
