Interactive P&IDs

Make your P&ID a route into live asset information.

Create process and instrumentation diagrams, connect symbols to equipment, and open the records behind inspection status, documents and maintenance history.

The operational problem

Keep the asset and the evidence together.

A drawing becomes more useful when its components connect to the equipment register. Heimdall's interactive P&ID builder lets users navigate from a system view to the relevant asset information instead of searching through disconnected lists and folders.

People, process and platform

A practical working sequence.

Agree the scope, responsibilities and review points with your team. These stages show the process to establish around the equipment and records.

  1. STEP 01

    Engineering · Define the system

    Select the process or equipment system to represent and confirm the drawing scope.

  2. STEP 02

    Engineering · Create the diagram

    Build the customised P&ID using symbols and connections appropriate to the system.

  3. STEP 03

    Asset team · Link the equipment

    Connect symbols to the correct asset records and functional positions.

  4. STEP 04

    Technical team · Review the links

    Check that the diagram reflects the equipment and that each linked record is the intended one.

  5. STEP 05

    Crew · Open the information

    Select a component to access its asset details, documents, inspection information and work history.

  6. STEP 06

    Engineering and asset owner · Maintain the view

    Review the drawing and record links when equipment or system arrangements change.

Review points matter

What happens when the information is incomplete?

A missing asset record or uncertain symbol link should become a verification task. Confirm the equipment identity and drawing relationship before relying on the diagram as an operational information source.

The resulting record

  • A customised interactive system diagram
  • Symbols connected to asset records
  • A visual route to documents and work history
  • A review process for equipment and drawing changes
Questions worth asking

Understand the workflow.

Which systems can be represented?

The existing examples include choke manifolds, mud systems, hydraulic circuits, BOP control systems and other process systems. Discuss the drawing scope and information requirements with Heimdall.

Is the diagram a substitute for engineering approval?

No. Engineering teams retain responsibility for the suitability and approval of drawings. The platform connects the diagram with the equipment information used by the operation.
