From P&IDs to Connected Digital Twins: Bringing Engineering & Real-Time Data Together
See how engineering data and real-time operational data can come together in one connected view.
Your P&IDs hold critical engineering context. Your operational systems know what is happening right now. Your maintenance systems know what has happened before.
But when that information sits across disconnected drawings, historians, ERP platforms and documents, getting the complete picture of an asset can take time.
In this on-demand webcast, Johan Krebbers, Chief Technology Officer at Acuvate, and Syed Zafar, Managing Director at PNID.IO, demonstrate how industrial organizations can connect engineering drawings with operational and enterprise data to create a practical connected digital twin.
See how P&ID digitization for digital twins can go beyond converting drawings into searchable files and create a connected foundation for engineering, operations and maintenance.

- 2D digital twin: See how existing plant drawings can become an interactive digital view without starting with a complex 3D twin.
From Static P&IDs to Connected Asset Intelligence
Digitizing engineering drawings is only the first step. The real value comes when P&IDs are connected with live plant data, engineering documents, maintenance records and enterprise systems.
In this webcast, see how AcuPrism and PNID.IO bring together engineering data integration for digital twins across platforms such as Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, SAP and Maximo.
Select an asset on a P&ID and access:
- Related engineering drawings and documents
- Live operational readings and historical trends
- Maintenance records and ERP information
- Asset relationships and connected context
See how static engineering drawings can become an interactive foundation for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, asset intelligence and digital twin initiatives.

P&IDs to Digital Twins – FAQs
A connected digital twin brings engineering, operational, maintenance, and enterprise data together around the same asset, giving teams a more complete view of what the asset is, how it is connected, and what is happening around it.
P&IDs can be digitized into structured, searchable engineering data and connected with live operational readings, maintenance records, documents, and asset relationships to create a practical 2D digital twin.
P&ID digitization converts static engineering drawings into structured digital data so tags, equipment, lines, and relationships can be searched, connected, and used within a digital twin environment.
Real-time OT and historian data can be mapped to the corresponding equipment shown on a P&ID, allowing users to view live values such as pressure, temperature, and other process measurements in the asset context.
A 2D digital twin can connect engineering drawings, equipment documents, live operational data, historical trends, ERP information, maintenance records, work orders, and asset relationships.
Microsoft Fabric and Databricks can provide the enterprise Data & AI foundation for bringing together operational, engineering, and enterprise data before making that information available to the digital twin.
Yes. Systems such as SAP and IBM Maximo can be connected so maintenance history, work orders, notifications, and equipment information can be viewed in the context of the relevant asset.
Ontology helps define relationships between engineering, operational, and enterprise data, making it easier for digital twins, analytics, and AI applications to understand asset context.
No. Organizations can start with existing 2D engineering drawings such as P&IDs and connect them with operational and enterprise data to build a practical digital twin foundation.
Engineering data integration can help teams access asset information faster, connect operational and maintenance context, improve visibility across systems, and create a stronger foundation for analytics, predictive maintenance, and industrial AI.
