Operon

The context layer for
process & manufacturing.

Operon reads the documents your plant runs on — P&IDs, isometrics, line lists, compliance records — and turns them into one live, queryable context layer for search, compliance, and AI agents.

Backed by Y Combinator

The Operon workspace: a recognized P&ID with its pipe runs traced, beside the plant chat panel

Decades of drawings. One living graph.

Every sheet becomes structure.

Equipment, lines, loops, and instruments extracted from every P&ID — and connected across sheets into one typed graph.

Every answer carries its source.

Ask in plain language. Get the tag, the sheet, and the exact region of the drawing the answer came from.

Every change leaves a trail.

Revisions, verifications, and corrections logged as they happen — audit-ready by default, not by scramble.

01 / P&ID Recognition

Every symbol, tag, and line — structured.

Drop in any drawing from any decade: scanned P&IDs, faded isometrics, PFDs, line lists. Operon detects every symbol, tag, and connection with a per-tag confidence score, and your engineers verify sheet by sheet before anything reaches your systems.

02 / Knowledge Chat

Ask the plant. Get the drawing.

Search thousands of sheets in plain language. Every answer resolves to real context — the tag, the line, and the drawing region it came from — so your engineers trust it enough to act on it.

03 / Compliance Documents

Compliance documents, drafted from the graph.

LDAR audit responses, MOC packets, HAZOP revalidation records — drafted from the live graph with tag-to-drawing traceability behind every line, and reconciled against your registers before anyone signs.

04 / Agentic Workflows

Agents that run on your plant's context.

Material take-offs counted across thousands of sheets. Revision deltas flagged for MOC. Coverage checked before every audit. Agents read the same verified graph your engineers signed off on — and every action is logged.

REST · GraphQL · SDK · audit log

Agents that run on your plant's context.

The layer underneath. Verified by your engineers.

Typed plant graph

Equipment, lines, loops, and instruments as first-class objects — with cross-drawing connectivity and revision deltas between versions.

Human-verify pass

Raw model output never reaches your systems. Per-tag confidence routes low scores to review, and the graph records who verified what.

Open by design

REST, GraphQL, and SDK on the same layer. Build your own applications — or let partners and integrators ship theirs on your graph.

Use cases

One context layer. Every workflow on top.

Buyers don't search for a data layer — they own a workflow and are measured on it. These run on Operon today.

EHS

EHS & Compliance

Defensible tag-to-drawing traceability for LDAR, BWON, and audit responses — in minutes, not weeks.

Safety Review & PHA

PHA

Safety Review & PHA

HAZOP and PHA revalidation with every P&ID current, cross-referenced, and queryable.

Material Take-Off

MTO

Material Take-Off

Counts of every valve, fitting, and instrument across thousands of sheets — bid faster, scope tighter.

Brownfield Digitization

BROWNFIELD

Brownfield Digitization

Decades of scanned drawings become a living asset register with revision history.

MOC

Management of Change

Every change between drawing revisions, flagged automatically and tied to its source region.

Custom Agents

AGENTS

Custom Agents

Your engineers ask the plant questions in plain language; agents answer from the graph.

BUILT FOR THE PLANTS THAT NEVER STOP.

Deployment & security

Your drawings stay yours.

Procurement and IT clear this section before you ever have to ask.

Cloud

An isolated tenant per customer — the fastest path from a folder of scans to a working graph.

On-premise

The engine runs inside your network. Documents never leave your perimeter.

  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • Role-based access control
  • Audit log of every verification and change
ON-PREMENCRYPTEDRBACAUDIT LOG

Run it on your drawings, not ours.

Send us a handful of sheets from your plant. Within the week you'll be querying your own P&IDs as a live graph — no slide decks, no sample data.
