Digitize a legacy cable schedule into a structured register.
Cable schedules outlive every other handover document on the project. Construction reads them for installation, commissioning reads them at terminations, and operations reads them when a fault happens at three in the morning.
Three drawings included on a new account.
How it works.
- 01Bring the source schedule into the workspacePDF, scanned PDF, or Excel. A spreadsheet uploads as it is, with its columns kept. PDFs are read page by page, with progress shown as they go.
- 02Reconcile against the instrument indexEach from-to reference checks against the instrument and equipment registers in the same workspace. Cables pointing at instruments that do not exist on any P&ID surface as flagged rows. Instruments without a cable surface on the inverse side.
- 03Export the structured registerExcel workbook, CSV for downstream tools, JSON for asset-management integrations. Incomplete cables are flagged on the workbook so engineering closes them out before procurement releases the cable take-off.
What you get.
- Structured cable register with from-to, core, size, length, routing, and fire-rating fields
- Reconciliation report against the workspace instrument and equipment indices
- Procurement-ready cable take-off rolled up by cable type and size
- Marshalling-cabinet load summary by signal class for cabinet sizing
Common questions
Our cable schedule is a 30-column Excel with vendor-specific headings. Will the column mapping handle that.
Yes. Upload the spreadsheet as it is. Every column is kept, and the original stays available beside the structured register downstream tools consume.
What about cables with no instrument tag because the schedule is power or comms.
Power and comms cables are first-class rows in the cable register. They keep their cable tag and from-to references. The instrument-tag column stays empty and the cable-type column flags the path. Only instrument cables run through the instrument-index reconciliation step.
