Octave Facets P&ID

Facets P&ID is the updated, rebranded version of Intergraph Smart P&ID. While the core functionality and performance remain consistent, Facets P&ID reflects Octave's transition into an independent spin-off brand, complete with refreshed naming, design and positioning. This change allows Octave to focus on delivering a more unified product experience and future-ready innovation, without altering the reliability you expect from the original Intergraph Smart P&ID.

A P&ID is a detailed diagram that shows the piping, equipment and instrumentation used in a process system. It’s essential for design, operations, and maintenance because it provides a clear view of how components connect and interact. Smart P&ID takes this further by making diagrams intelligent—linking data, automating checks and enabling collaboration across the project lifecycle.

Unlike traditional CAD tools, Facets P&ID is data-centric and asset-focused. It doesn’t just draw diagrams—it connects engineering data to the plant lifecycle. Intelligent validation ensures designs meet safety and engineering standards, while automation reduces manual effort. With integrated change tracking and global work-sharing, Facets P&ID enables real-time collaboration and consistent, high-quality deliverables across projects.

Facets P&ID improves accuracy, efficiency and collaboration. It helps teams validate designs against industry standards, automate routine tasks, and maintain compliance throughout the project. Centralized data management ensures everyone works from the same information, reducing costly errors and rework. The result: faster project execution, better quality deliverables and confidence to scale without compromise.

Yes. Facets P&ID integrates seamlessly with Octave’s engineering ecosystem, including Forte 3D and Facets Instrumentation. This connectivity enables smooth data exchange between disciplines, supporting a fully digital workflow. Integration reduces duplication, improves accuracy, and accelerates downstream tasks like 3D modeling and instrumentation design, creating a connected environment for the entire asset lifecycle.

Absolutely. Facets P&ID is designed to scale with your business. Its rules-driven approach and centralized data management ensure consistency across thousands of drawings and properties. Global work-sharing tools allow teams to collaborate across locations, while automation accelerates delivery. Whether you’re managing a single facility or a global portfolio, Facets P&ID helps maintain quality and compliance at every stage.

Facets P&ID was originally developed by Hexagon and is now part of Octave’s engineering solutions portfolio. While the core capabilities remain, the solution has evolved to deliver even greater integration, automation and scalability. It continues to provide rules-driven validation, centralized data management and global collaboration tools—but now with enhanced connectivity to Octave’s broader ecosystem for a fully digital workflow.
