Pipeink / Material intelligence

Good drawings.
Better material data.

Your piping isometrics hold the answers. Pipeink turns their material tables into data you can review, trust, and put to work.

01Start with the source

Your drawings. In good hands.

Bring your isometric PDFs into one project, with their PCF files if you have them. Pipeink keeps the original source behind every result.

Example drawing
PDFPI-001_issued.pdfThe issued drawing
PCFPI-001.pcfSupporting model data (optional)

From the first upload, everything belongs to the drawing it came from.

02Let Pipeink do the reading

Less transcription. More engineering.

Pipeink finds the bill of materials and reads it row by row. Descriptions, sizes, quantities, and commodity codes become structured material data.

Example extracted material rows
ItemDescriptionSizeQty
01Pipe, SCH 406″2.4 m
02Elbow, 90° LR6″2
03Flange, CL 150 RF6″2
PI-001 · Source values kept with every row

The PDF supplies the values. The PCF helps check the work.

03Keep your judgment in the loop

Every flag has a paper trail.

When values disagree or a read needs attention, see the evidence beside the extracted data. Inspect the drawing, make a correction, and approve the row.

The issued PDF remains the source of truth.

You make the call. Pipeink keeps the decision with the source.

04Make the handoff

A workbook that shows its work.

Take the reviewed material takeoff into Excel, with source references, recorded differences, and a run summary in the same workbook.
