Octave Facets P&ID has enabled us to eliminate manual data entry errors between process schematics and 3D models, ensuring absolute consistency for our large-scale projects.”

— Engineering Lead, Major Oil & Gas EPC Firm.

Octave Facets P&ID (formerly Intergraph Smart® P&ID) is the industry-leading solution for creating and managing rule-driven process schematics. Unlike basic drafting tools, Facets P&ID manages a centralized engineering database, allowing engineers to streamline workflows, maintain change management, and ensure seamless synchronization with 3D models throughout the asset lifecycle.

Benefits of Octave Facets P&ID

Inheriting the robust foundation of SmartPlant P&ID, the solution focuses on automation and high-fidelity engineering data.

📊 Data-Centricity

Every object in the drawing is linked to technical attributes, enabling data management rather than just graphical drafting.

⚖️ Rule-Driven Validation

Embedded design rules automatically detect logic errors, ensuring compliance with international engineering standards.

🔗 P&ID – 3D Sync

Maintains tight integration with 3D models (Forte 3D), ensuring process data and physical models are always synchronized.

📄 Automated Reporting

Generate accurate line lists, equipment lists, and BOMs directly from the design data, eliminating manual count errors.

📚 Standardized Libraries

Extensive symbol libraries supporting ISO, DIN, PIP, and KKS standards, easily customizable for project-specific needs.

🌍 Global Collaboration

Enables multiple engineering teams across different locations to work simultaneously on a single project database.

📈 Proven Efficiency: 25% reduction in validation time | 40% faster reporting | 100% data consistency.
