About DigitalSketch.ai
Our Mission
We are on a mission to make P&ID digitization and intelligent document processing accessible to every organization. DigitalSketch.ai empowers enterprises to transform their technical documentation into actionable intelligence through advanced AI and computer vision technology.
Our Story
DigitalSketch.ai was founded with a vision to solve one of the most critical challenges in industrial operations: the digitization and intelligent processing of complex technical documents, particularly Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).
In the industrial sector, P&IDs are fundamental to operations, maintenance, and safety. Yet, most organizations still rely on paper-based or poorly digitized versions of these critical documents. This creates inefficiencies, increases risk, and prevents teams from leveraging the full potential of their technical data.
Our founders recognized that modern AI and computer vision technologies could revolutionize how organizations manage and extract value from their technical documentation. With this conviction, DigitalSketch.ai was launched to make intelligent P&ID processing available to every engineer, operator, and manager.
Today, DigitalSketch.ai empowers hundreds of enterprises across petrochemicals, oil & gas, manufacturing, utilities, and life sciences to digitize their P&IDs, link documents to assets, and unlock insights through AI-powered analysis. Our platform enables teams to accomplish in hours what used to take weeks, while improving accuracy and compliance.
What We Do
DigitalSketch.ai provides an end-to-end platform for P&ID digitization and intelligent document processing:
- Multi-Format Ingestion: Import P&IDs from PDF, PNG, JPG, TIFF, and other formats
- AI-Powered Recognition: Automatically identify symbols, equipment, and relationships in P&IDs
- Document Linking: Connect P&IDs to assets, manuals, and other technical documents
- Intelligent Search: Find information across your entire document library with semantic search
- AI CoPilot: Ask questions about your P&IDs and get instant answers powered by AI
- Compliance & Audit: Maintain audit trails and ensure regulatory compliance
