Armeta and Hexagon Smart P&ID.

Positioned as complementary, not competing. Hexagon Smart P&ID is an authoring tool — the environment where new P&IDs are created and maintained inside a structured database. Armeta is the extraction layer that structures the archive of drawings that exist outside or before Smart P&ID: PDF archives, legacy scans, inherited EPC drawings, and brownfield inventories.

Draft in progress

This page is currently being written. The scope and framing are locked; the full technical write-up is on the editorial calendar. If this page is directly relevant to an active evaluation, the Armeta team can walk through the content with you live.

What this page will cover
  • 01What Hexagon Smart P&ID does — intelligent authoring, structured database of engineering objects, rule-based validation, and integration with SmartPlant Foundation.
  • 02The scope gap — Smart P&ID manages drawings authored inside Smart P&ID. The installed archive of PDF and legacy drawings at a typical operating facility was never authored there.
  • 03Where Armeta fits — reading the PDF archive, extracting the structured engineering data, and producing output that can be loaded into SmartPlant Foundation or used alongside the Smart P&ID native objects.
  • 04Integration patterns — Armeta output as a structured import source for SmartPlant Foundation, and how the engineering graph Armeta produces maps to the Smart P&ID data model.
  • 05Typical deployment — operators who have standardized on Smart P&ID for new and active units, and who need a structured view of the legacy archive that governs brownfield work.
  • 06Where the tools don't overlap — Armeta is not a replacement authoring tool. Smart P&ID is not a drawing ingestion engine for unstructured PDFs.
