Search Schematics and Wiring Diagrams
Schematics and wiring diagrams contain critical system configuration information, but they are notoriously difficult to search. PM Assist indexes the text content within these documents — component labels, circuit references, notes, and legends — making it significantly easier to find specific technical details.
The Challenge of Searching Schematics
Schematics, single-line diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and wiring diagrams convey system configuration through a combination of graphical symbols and text annotations. While the graphical content requires visual interpretation, the text content — component labels, circuit references, connection details, and notes — contains valuable searchable information.
Finding a specific component or circuit reference across a large set of schematics typically requires browsing through many drawing sheets, which is slow and error-prone.
What PM Assist Can Find in Schematics
PM Assist searches the text content of schematic PDFs, including component labels and tag numbers, circuit and cable references, notes and annotations, legend entries and key information, title block details, and revision notes.
For example, you can search for a specific circuit reference and PM Assist will identify which schematic sheets reference it. You can search for a component tag number and find the drawings where it appears. This is faster and more thorough than manually scanning through drawing sets.
- Find specific components by tag number or reference
- Locate circuit and cable references across schematics
- Search drawing notes and annotations
- Cross-reference schematics with O&M manuals
Combining Schematic Search with Other Documentation
Schematics are most useful when read alongside the corresponding O&M manuals and commissioning records. PM Assist's ability to search across all document types simultaneously means you can find schematic information and related O&M data in a single query, saving time when diagnosing faults or planning modifications.
