The Problem

Engineering “Dark Matter” is
costing you bids and margin

The most valuable knowledge on an EPC project exists in formats that systems can’t read: P&ID schematics, handwritten site markups, 1,000-page RFPs, and scanned mill certificates. Senior engineers spend 30% of their time re-keying data that already exists somewhere in your document estate.

01 / The RFP Bottleneck

Extracting scope, eligibility criteria, and submission requirements from 1,000-page RFP documents manually takes weeks. By the time your bid is assembled, you’ve had to turn down other opportunities. Slow RFP response is a structural revenue constraint — not a resourcing problem.

02 / The Schematic Gap

Tag numbers, equipment specifications, line relationships, and material grades exist as spatial information in P&ID drawings — not as searchable data. Asset registries are created manually from visual inspection, equipment databases are perpetually out of date, and digital twins can’t be built without a foundation of structured data.

03 / The Margin Leakage

The gap between what a drawing specifies, what was ordered, and what was delivered is where project margin disappears. Manual reconciliation of Bills of Materials against Purchase Orders and Packing Slips is slow, incomplete, and performed after delivery — when fixing errors is already expensive.

04 / The Handover Delay

Operations and Maintenance handover packages — manuals, as-built drawings, certificates, warranties — are assembled manually from across the project archive. The process takes months, delays final payments, and hands over documentation that operations teams struggle to navigate.

How It Works

From RFP to PO — and from site to as-built — without the manual rekeying

Intics operates as the intelligence layer between your document streams and your procurement, asset management, and project control systems. Every extraction is traceable to its source. Every agent decision is auditable.

01
Ingest any engineering document

P&ID scans, RFP PDFs, handwritten site redlines, mill certificates, BOM spreadsheets — any format.

02
Spatial & handwriting models

Radon reads technical cursive and site markups. Xenon understands P&ID spatial relationships and tag conventions.

03
Domain-aware extraction

Tag numbers, equipment specs, material grades, contract obligations, and scope requirements extracted and structured.

04
Agentic reconciliation

Agents cross-check BOM against PO against packing slip. Flag discrepancies. Trigger procurement workflows automatically.

05
System sync & audit trail

Validated data populates your asset registry, procurement platform, and project control system. Source bounding box linked for every extraction.

→ 100% BOM reconciliation. Zero margin leakage.
Purpose-Built Models

AI trained on the documents engineers actually produce

Engineering documents are unlike any other document class — spatial schematics, technical cursive, non-standard symbol sets, and multi-layered drawing conventions. General-purpose AI fails on this complexity. Intics deploys models built specifically for the engineering document estate.

Technical Integrity & Governance

Every extraction linked to
its source bounding box

On an EPC project, a wrong number in a dataset has consequences measured in tonnes of material, weeks of rework, and millions in cost. Intics provides the traceability that engineering integrity demands.

Source Traceability
Every Extraction Is Verifiable

Every data point Intics extracts — tag numbers, material grades, contract clauses, BOM line items — is linked back to the specific bounding box in the source document where it was found. Engineers can verify any extraction in seconds, and auditors can trace every data point to its document origin.

Change Management
Complete Revision History

A complete record of who (or what) approved every technical revision — with timestamps, confidence scores, and human override records. When a specification changes, Intics identifies every document in the archive that references that specification and flags it for review.

HSE & OSHA
Proactive Safety Compliance

Intics agents ingest safety documents daily, maintaining a live view of certification status, training records, and open safety actions. Missing certifications are flagged before they create regulatory exposure. The evidence trail for OSHA and site safety audits is assembled automatically.

Edge Deployment
Intelligence at the Project Site

For remote or offshore project environments, Intics supports edge deployment — bringing document intelligence to the site without cloud dependency. Site markups processed on-site, in real time, with updates synced to the central project when connectivity permits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions your bid managers and project engineers will ask

Can Intics read our engineers’ site handwriting and redline markups?
Yes — and this is one of the most impactful capabilities for EPC projects. The Radon model was specifically trained on technical field markups — the annotation style used by field engineers and construction supervisors. It reads site redlines, field corrections, and punch list annotations with production-grade accuracy, identifying the specific CAD file requiring update from each markup.
How does Intics handle P&ID drawings and schematics?
We process PDF exports and scanned drawings, using the Xenon model to identify spatial relationships and engineering symbols — not just OCR text. Tag numbers, line designations, equipment connections, and instrument relationships are all extracted as structured data. The output populates asset registries and provides the structured foundation for Digital Twin programmes.
How much time can Intics save on RFP and tender response?
In production deployments, clients typically see a 70% reduction in manual extraction time for tender documents. The bigger impact is often in bid capacity — with extraction time reduced, the same bid team can respond to significantly more tenders in the same period. We’ve seen clients move from responding to 40% of viable tenders to 65%+ within the first quarter of deployment.
Can Intics run on-site at remote project locations?
Yes. Intics supports edge deployment for project sites with limited or unreliable connectivity. The document intelligence capability runs locally at the site, with updates synced to the central project management platform when connectivity permits. This is particularly valuable for offshore, remote, or air-gapped project environments.
Can Intics be tuned to our specific parts libraries and engineering nomenclature?
Yes — configuration to your domain and nomenclature is a standard part of the deployment process. We ingest your parts library, tag conventions, drawing standards, and specification templates during setup. This domain configuration is what enables production-grade accuracy on your specific document types rather than generic engineering documents.
What is a “Document Twin” and how does it apply to engineering?
A Document Twin is a semantic replica of a drawing or document where every element — every tag, every specification, every material grade — is interactive, searchable, and linked to other documents that reference the same element. When a specification changes in one document, the Document Twin instantly surfaces every other document that references that specification. It’s the foundation for change impact analysis and the “single source of truth” that EPC projects need but rarely achieve.
