Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about pAIpe – from features and standards compliance to the mobile app, pricing and onboarding.

What is pAIpe?

pAIpe is a software platform for piping and plant engineering. It combines project management, tablet-based isometric drawings, a digital site diary, AI-powered material certificate handling (EN 10204) and quality assurance per PED 2014/68/EU in a single solution.

Who is pAIpe for?

Plant construction firms, industrial assembly contractors, piping engineering companies and their project leads, site supervisors, QA officers and purchasing teams. Typical users are companies with 10 to 500 employees replacing Excel-and-folders with a structured platform.

How is pAIpe different from Excel or a traditional ERP?

pAIpe is built specifically for piping and plant engineering: projects, documents, material certificates, isometrics and AI analysis work together in one solution. Excel lists fragment into silos and a generic ERP needs costly customising – pAIpe brings the industry logic out of the box.

How much does pAIpe cost?

pAIpe is modular. Base platform pricing and per-module pricing (project management, AI document analysis, mobile app, QA, pipe-class management) are listed on our Pricing page. Enterprise licences are available for larger rollouts.

How long does implementation take?

pAIpe is modular – you don't have to roll out everything at once. A single module is usually productive within a few weeks, and you add further modules step by step. This spreads the effort over a longer period rather than one big switchover project. We import your existing data together with your team.

Does the AI run in the EU? What about data privacy?

Yes. AI features (document analysis, OCR, classification) run on EU servers and are GDPR compliant. A fully on-premise installation is available on request, keeping all data inside your corporate network.

Which modules does pAIpe offer?

Among others: project and task management, customer and supplier management, document and drawing management, material certificates (EN 10204), purchasing with goods receipt, mobile isometric drawing, plus AI-powered document analysis and AI chat. You only license the modules you actually need.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes. pAIpe ships with a native iOS and Android app, optimised for construction sites. Drawing isometrics, capturing the site diary and documenting welds all work offline – data syncs automatically once connectivity is back.

How does the AI in pAIpe help me?

The AI automatically reads and classifies documents, extracts data from delivery notes, invoices and material certificates, answers questions about your projects in chat, and structures voice-captured site diary entries – cutting manual data entry significantly.

Which industry standards does pAIpe support?

pAIpe is natively built around the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU), EN 10204 (material certificates) and DGRL. Audit trails, versioning and certificates are generated automatically, reducing audit preparation from weeks to minutes.

Does pAIpe support material certificates per EN 10204?

Yes. pAIpe captures and manages material certificates (e.g. inspection certificate 3.1 per EN 10204) and links them down to the individual component via AI document analysis. Material traceability stays complete and is auditable in minutes.

Does pAIpe support welding documentation (WPS/WPQR)?

Yes. pAIpe manages welding procedure specifications and qualifications (WPS/WPQR) and welder qualifications, and automatically checks which welder is approved for which weld. Welds are documented down to the component and remain audit-ready.

Can I use pAIpe on site on mobile?

Yes. The iOS and Android app is made for the field: create isometrics, document components and welds, capture the site diary by voice and complete QA steps on site – much of it offline, syncing automatically.

Can I import existing Excel lists and CAD data?

Yes. pAIpe supports imports from Excel, CSV and common CAD formats. The AI-powered document analysis additionally extracts data from delivery notes, invoices and material certificates – including scans and image-based PDFs.

Can pAIpe integrate with our existing systems?

pAIpe is built API-first, so data can be exchanged with your existing systems. Existing Excel lists, master data and common CAD formats can be imported; specific interfaces to your system landscape are defined during the onboarding project.

What does support look like?

Every customer has a named contact. Critical incidents are handled within one business day, routine requests within three business days. Enterprise customers can book SLAs with guaranteed response times.

Is there a demo?

Yes. Via the Demo button you can arrange a personal, guided product demo where we show pAIpe using your own project data and answer your questions directly.
