Your data has the answers.
Assai Viewport connects them.
Industrial facilities operate with engineering information spread across document management systems, historians, ERP platforms, and shared drives. When a safety incident occurs, a maintenance investigation begins, or an engineering change is assessed, teams need that information immediately.
Assai Viewport transforms fragmented technical data into accessible, connected knowledge. Engineers search once and see everything: the P&ID, linked tags, live sensor values, open work orders, and maintenance data — all in a single browser-based interface, without changing any existing system.
Instead of silos, a single connected picture.
Assai Viewport uses AI and pattern recognition to automatically link equipment tags, P&IDs, live sensor values, and maintenance data, even across different file types, naming conventions, and legacy formats.
Understand information before acting on it
Assai Viewport provides the full context needed to evaluate whether information is relevant, complete, and current – before it is used in engineering, maintenance, or operations. Reducing uncertainty and supporting more confident decision-making across teams.
Identify gaps before they impact work
By linking information together across all connected sources, Assai Viewport makes gaps visible early. Teams identify missing documentation, conflicting tag data, outdated drawings, and broken links before they affect engineering work, safety, or compliance.
Work with data as it actually exists
Engineering data is rarely complete or perfectly aligned. Assai Viewport applies OCR and pattern recognition to extract structure from older content, delivering a connected, searchable view even when underlying data is incomplete, scanned, or spans decades of operational history.
Three capabilities. One connected picture.
Assai Viewport doesn’t replace your existing systems. It reads across all of them and surfaces what you need.
01
P&ID intelligence
Type a tag or asset ID. The P&ID appears — interactive, fully tagged, and live. Every element links to its maintenance history, sensor values, and open work orders. Scanned legacy drawings from the 1980s become searchable and tag-linked automatically.
- Interactive, tag-linked P&IDs in seconds
- Legacy scanned drawings searchable via OCR
- Every tag links to live operational context
02
Data map
SAP PM, AVEVA PI, CMMS, DMS, SharePoint, and engineering drawings feed into a unified data layer. Work orders, permits, maintenance data, and live process values appear together — without switching a single application.
- Unified view across all connected systems
- No system replacement required
- 140+ supported data formats
03
Knowledge graph
Assai Viewport indexes your engineering documentation and builds a knowledge graph connecting assets, tags, documents, and failure modes — flagging conflicts and surfacing patterns your engineers haven’t had time to find manually.
- Proactive conflict and risk detection
- AI-assisted root cause reasoning
- Built from your own plant data automatically

Frequently asked questions.
Can Assai Viewport integrate with our existing systems like SharePoint, SAP, or tag registers?
Yes — Assai Viewport is integration-ready and supports over 140 data formats. It connects with platforms like SharePoint, SAP PM, CMMS, and historian systems including AVEVA PI, OPC UA, and OSIsoft. No system replacement or migration is required.
Does Assai Viewport require any local installation or plugins?
No — Assai Viewport is entirely browser-based and works in any modern browser. No client-side installation or plugin required. It can be deployed in complex multi-site environments and accessed from any device including mobile on the plant floor.
Can Assai Viewport detect inconsistencies or missing data in our technical documentation?
Yes — Assai Viewport uses AI and pattern recognition to continuously monitor your connected environment for gaps, outdated documents, broken tag links, and data inconsistencies across drawings, tags, models, and live operational data. Issues are surfaced proactively before they affect engineering work, safety, or compliance.
Is Assai Viewport suitable for older, scanned documents or legacy systems?
Yes — Assai Viewport applies OCR and pattern recognition to scanned drawings and legacy archive content, making historical P&IDs and older engineering files fully searchable and tag-linked. Viewport is specifically designed for environments where data spans decades of operational history.
What is Assai Viewport used for?
Assai Viewport is used by engineering and operations teams to search, navigate, and connect technical information across multiple systems — including documents, P&IDs, equipment tags, 3D models, and live operational data. Common use cases include maintenance root cause investigation, permit-to-work conflict detection, turnaround planning, asset handover verification, and engineering change impact assessment. Deployed in oil & gas, nuclear, petrochemicals, utilities, renewable energy, mining, and heavy manufacturing.
What results have organisations achieved with Assai Viewport?
Across deployments in chemicals, nuclear, manufacturing, petrochemicals, and utilities: search time reductions of 55–70%, document retrieval improvements of 60–70%, ROI in under 12 months, and user adoption up to 95%. A European nuclear operator connected 3,500+ work orders across 1,400 P&IDs and 300,000+ tags. A global manufacturer reduced duplicate documents by 80% and audit preparation time by 60%. A North American utility improved asset visibility by 50% and reduced maintenance response time by 30%.
How does Assai Viewport differ from a document management system?
A document management system controls, versions, and stores documents. Assai Viewport reads across existing systems — including a DMS — and connects the information within them into a unified, searchable, contextual view. Assai Viewport does not replace a DMS; it adds an AI-powered intelligence layer on top of it. Assai DMS and Viewport can be deployed together for organisations that need both document control and connected information access.
Better decisions. Lower risk.
More reliable outcomes.
By connecting engineering information across systems, Assai Viewport gives teams the context to make faster, more confident decisions — based on a complete view of available data. Gaps are identified before they reach operations. Investigations that took days take minutes. Conflicts are detected before work begins.
