AI-based mapping and tagging solution

Client

The client is a leading energy company and chemical producer, specializing in manufacturing lubricants and integrated fuels. It is renowned for leveraging modern technologies to address global energy needs. Its operations encompass the exploration, production, and distribution of oil, petroleum products, and natural gas.

Challenges

The client’s challenge revolved around implementing a comprehensive mapping solution along with automation to ensure data accuracy.

• Required a simplified and precise mapping solution to define flawless boundaries around process units, systems, and subsystems to accommodate instrument tags
• Needed automation to link instrument tags with their respective entities
• Required to achieve high data accuracy
• Needed a solution to achieve significant noise reduction
• Required to reduce errors in symbol detection, line detection, and text recognition
• Needed improvements in manual data validation processes, which were time-consuming and prone to errors
• Needed specific tools and expertise-driven solutions for converting data into the required Optical Character Recognition (OCR) format
• Required significant processing power for training and execution of the OCR processes

LTM Solution

• Implemented advanced AI-based image recognition to accurately detect large and small entities in process diagrams
• Employed AI-based line detection techniques to classify and trace connections between equipment and instruments
• Implemented an OCR solution that uses AI to accurately recognize and extract text from diagrams
• Implemented data storing in a JSON file for further processing
• Established a clear hierarchy of instruments and equipment, ensuring accurate linkage of each tag to its entity
• Implemented advanced solutions using technologies such as Azure, Machine Learning, and Vision AI

Business Benefits

• 50-70% Reduction in Manual Work
