Engineering Document Digitization for
Heavy Industry
AI assisted, Engineer-validated. Built for industrial AI & digital twins.
The Seven Peaks Document Digitization Accelerator is a delivery accelerator built on the Seven Peaks Product Accelerator and integrated directly into Snowflake Cortex AI. It converts unstructured engineering documents into trusted, structured industrial data, establishing Snowflake as the governed data foundation for industrial AI platforms and digital twins.
This accelerator is designed for production use in asset-intensive environments, where data quality, traceability, and governance are non-negotiable.

The Core Challenge with Engineering Documents
Heavy-industry organizations depend on engineering knowledge locked in:
→ Vendor manuals and datasheets
→ Drawings and schematics
→ EPC handover documentation
→ Scanned and legacy PDFs
While these documents contain critical asset intelligence, they are typically:
→ Unstructured and inconsistent
→ Not machine-usable
→ Difficult to govern, audit, and reuse
→ Isolated from modern data platforms
As a result:
× Manual extraction dominates engineering workflows
× The same work is repeated across projects
× AI, analytics, and digital twin initiatives stall at the starting line
Before advanced initiatives can succeed, engineering documents must become trusted data.
The Seven Peaks Energy Document Digitization Accelerator
Scalable Document Digitization via Controlled Delivery
This offering industrializes document digitization through a controlled delivery model that combines:
AI-assisted extraction using Snowflake Cortex AI Engineer-led human-in-the-loop validation Industrial data structuring aligned to assets and standards A governed Snowflake enterprise data foundation
Rapid Delivery via Seven Peaks Accelerator
Delivery is orchestrated through the Seven Peaks Document Digitization Accelerator, which provides:
Coordinated AI and human workflows A customer-branded execution back office for audit and intervention Full traceability from source documents to approved datasets
The accelerator is a repeatable, production-ready delivery framework designed for sustained industrial use.
High-Level Solution & Workflow
The accelerator follows a controlled, engineering-safe workflow designed to scale without compromising accuracy.
1. Document Ingestion
Engineering source material is ingested across formats, including:
- → PDFs and scanned legacy documents
- → Engineering drawings and schematics
- → Vendor datasheets and manuals
- → EPC handover documentation
Document types and metadata are classified upfront to guide extraction logic.
2. AI-Assisted Extraction With Snowflake Cortex AI
AI models embedded in Snowflake Cortex AI extract engineering attributes, tags, and metadata using:
- → Document-type awareness
- → Priority-based extraction
(nameplate → GA → datasheet → calculations) - → Confidence scoring on every extracted field
This enables scale and speed without treating AI output as authoritative.
3. Human-in-the-Loop Engineering Validation & Audit Control
AI extraction is treated as an assisted step, not an authority.
All extracted values are routed through the Seven Peaks Document Digitization Accelerator, which provides a governed execution back office for audit, manual review, and controlled intervention when AI confidence is low or engineering judgment is required.
Within this environment, discipline engineers from Draga act as the engineering consultancy and validation authority, reviewing extracted values field-by-field before any data is approved for downstream use.
Engineering Validation & Audit Control
Validation is supported by built-in control capabilities, including:
→ Confidence scoring and automatic flagging of low-confidence or missing values
→ Structured review queues for human validation and reassignment
→ Side-by-side visibility of source documents and extracted values
→ Manual correction and annotation when AI output is incomplete or ambiguous
→ Persistent audit logs, which capture reviewer identity, changes, and approvals
Engineering validation ensures:
→ Correct interpretation of engineering semantics
→ Alignment with standards such as DEXPI, ISO 15926, and CFIHOS
→ Resolution of ambiguous or conflicting attributes
→ Engineering-usable, safety-grade accuracy suitable for operational systems
Only explicitly validated and approved data progresses into governed Snowflake pipelines. Unapproved values remain in the audit queue, preserving traceability rather than failing silently.
This ensures document digitization operates as a controlled industrial process, not an opaque AI automation.
When AI Confidence Is Low
AI extraction is designed to surface uncertainty, not hide it. When extracted values fall below confidence thresholds, are missing, or conflict with engineering context, they are automatically routed into a controlled review queue within the Seven Peaks Document Digitization Accelerator.
Discipline engineers review the original source document alongside extracted fields, apply corrections or annotations where required, and either approve the value or reject it for reprocessing. Every action is logged — including reviewer identity, timestamps, and change history — ensuring full auditability and traceability.
This mechanism ensures that AI accelerates throughput while engineering authority and accountability are preserved. No data enters Snowflake as trusted industrial data unless it has passed this control point.
4. Structuring into Industrial Data Models
Validated information is structured into:
- → EDMS and MIMS templates
- → Equipment and tag hierarchies
- → Engineering master data models
This replaces manual EPC extraction with a governed, repeatable process aligned to industrial systems.
5. Snowflake as the Industrial Data Foundation
Structured, validated engineering data is loaded into Snowflake as the single source of truth.
- → Secure, auditable storage
- → Governance, lineage, and access control
- → Queryable access for engineering, IT, and analytics teams
Instead of unmanaged document repositories, Snowflake holds trusted industrial data.
How the Accelerator Feeds Industrial Platforms
Industrial AI platforms and digital twins require clean, contextualized, structured engineering data. This accelerator establishes that foundation.
Enabling Industrial AI Platforms: Cognite CDF
Platforms such as Cognite CDF rely on consistent asset hierarchies and high-quality engineering metadata.
The accelerator:
→ Provides clean input data for contextualization
→ Reduces onboarding time
→ Lowers remediation effort
→ Increases trust in AI-driven insights
Without this foundation, CDF initiatives stall in data preparation.
Enabling Digital Twins: Kongsberg Digital Kognitwin
Digital twin platforms such as Kongsberg Digital Kognitwin depend on:
→ Accurate asset structures
→ Reliable equipment attributes
→ Correct engineering context
The accelerator ensures engineering data is digital-twin ready by grounding asset models in validated documentation and preventing twins from becoming visual shells without operational substance.
The Role of the Accelerator
What it enables
→ Faster rollout of industrial AI platforms
→ Safer digital twin initiatives
→ Reduced risk in data-driven operations
→ Long-term reuse of engineering knowledge
What it does not replace

Information architecture
Organize & structure content efficiently. Proper planning prevents poor performance! Before any visuals are created it’s critical to define the structure and interaction flow of any digital service.
- Grouping similar content and features makes a product more accessible, user friendly and efficient to use.
- We create sitemaps to communicate how users would navigate around a product and visualise hierarchy of screens.
- Defining steps users take when engaging with a product helps us identify screens and technical requirements early in a project.
- We organize user flows to match users mental models (how they expect a digital service to behave).
