Seed an asset digital twin from existing P&IDs.
Digital-twin programs stall the moment someone has to populate the underlying asset register. The blocker is almost always the controls dataset. Every instrument, every loop, every equipment item, every line, all reconciled against the drawings that still revise.
Three drawings included on a new account.
How it works.
- 01Establish the asset baselineRun the P&ID set through Tagsight. The extraction produces structured records for instruments, equipment, lines, and the connections between them. This is the controls layer of the asset register.
- 02Federate with mechanical and process datasetsMechanical equipment data, vendor model, P&ID tag, operating point joins on the equipment list keys. Process data, stream composition, normal flow joins on line list keys. The federated graph becomes the asset register the twin queries against.
- 03Maintain the link to source drawingsEach record carries source-P&ID-page metadata. When the drawing revises, re-run extraction, diff, push the deltas into the twin. The twin stays current without manual sync.
What you get.
- Structured asset records for instruments, equipment, lines, and connections
- Plant-wide connectivity with control loop topology
- Source-page traceability per record
- Revision diff feed for incremental twin updates
Common questions
Is the extracted dataset compatible with twin platforms like AVEVA, Siemens, or AspenTech.
The Excel and JSON exports cover the columns most twin platforms expect. DEXPI XML covers ISO 15926 reference data exchange. Integration with a twin platform that uses its own column names is set up with you.
Does the twin update automatically when a P&ID revises.
Re-running extraction on the new revision produces a delta report. Whether that delta auto-pushes into the twin or queues for engineering review is a workflow choice owned by the customer. Both patterns are supported.
