Why it wins
Purpose-built for engineering data, not generic AI, so Convert produces structured, trusted output instead of another silo.
01
Best AI in drawing digitization: converts not only native DWGs, but images and scanned PDFs.
02
Proven digitization platform delivering over 70% efficiency gain at 50% lower cost.
03
The only solution to deeply integrate with SmartPlant, Aveva, and DEXPI 1.3 / 2.0.
04
Lossless, comprehensive conversion of attributes, relationships, and visual information.
Capabilities
Reads scanned and legacy PDFs
Not just native CAD. Purpose-built computer vision extracts tags, symbols, line numbers, and connectivity from decades-old scanned drawings that lock most plant knowledge in place.
Human-in-the-loop guided review
A visual, guided workflow for drafters and engineers with built-in guardrails. AI proposes, people confirm, and the models learn from every correction, so accuracy compounds.
Lossless Smart Drawings
Output preserves the original drawing while adding a structured layer: searchable tags, resolved connectivity, extracted attributes, and links to datasheets, with no information loss.
Interoperable, standards-based output
Publishes to SmartPlant P&ID, Aveva, DEXPI 1.3 / 2.0, and ISO 15926, so digitized drawings drop straight into the engineering systems you already run.
Computer vision plus multi-modal AI
Domain models trained on tens of thousands of industrial drawings read both image-based and structured CAD formats, an accuracy generic AI cannot match.
Open API and batch throughput
Single and batch upload, real-time conversion monitoring, and query access to converted data in graph or relational form. Proven across 83,000+ engineering drawings.
How it works
Convert, step by step
01
Ingest
Upload CAD, DWG, images, or PDFs, including scanned and legacy formats, one at a time or in bulk
02
Extract
Computer vision and multi-modal AI detect tags, symbols, line numbers, attributes, and connectivity.
03
Verify
Engineers confirm in a guided, guardrailed interface; the models learn from every correction.
04
Publish
Smart Drawings and structured data publish to your system of record, UniGraph, SmartPlant, Aveva, or DEXPI.

FAQ
Can Convert digitize scanned or hand-marked PDF drawings?
Yes. Convert is built for legacy and scanned PDFs and images, not just native CAD. Computer vision extracts tags, symbols, and connectivity from low-quality scans, with human-in-the-loop verification to guarantee accuracy.
Which formats and standards does Convert output?
Convert publishes to SmartPlant P&ID, Aveva, DEXPI 1.3 and 2.0, and ISO 15926, and into UniGraph. It is the only digitization solution to integrate that deeply with SmartPlant, Aveva, and DEXPI.
How much faster and cheaper is digitization with Convert?
Convert digitizes engineering drawings roughly 70% faster at about 50% lower cost than manual redrawing, proven across more than 83,000 drawings, with lossless capture of attributes and relationships.
How is accuracy guaranteed?
A guided, guardrailed review workflow puts drafters and engineers in the loop. AI proposes, people confirm, and the models learn from every correction, so accuracy improves continuously and stays audit-ready.
