COMPANY
Asterindustry is an industrial software company that develops proprietary technology to automatically convert, extract and verify CAD data in the plant engineering domain. We turn engineering data scattered across different design systems into reliable digital assets, reducing our clients' project cost and time while raising design quality.
Building on years of R&D and real project experience, we are expanding beyond simple data conversion into AI-based drawing recognition and integrated engineering data management.
Enhancing industrial competitiveness through the digital transformation of engineering data.
National R&D projects and continuous technology accumulation through industry-academic collaboration.
Proven experience delivering global offshore plant projects.
A verification-based methodology that guarantees results you can trust.
TECHNOLOGY
Not a simple viewer or file converter — we developed in-house the core technology that produces editable, connectable native models and structured engineering data.
Bi-directional conversion between PDMS/E3D ↔ Smart 3D. One-way conversion Smart 3D ← PDS. Independent engines per discipline (piping, equipment, structure, support) map intelligent models 1:1.
Automatically generates specification and catalog data, and builds .NET symbols with our own authoring tool (Plant 3D Symbol Designer).
Converts image-based P&ID into digital data and automatically generates symbol, text and line training data, linking it to the DEXPI standard.
Automatically verifies the consistency of heterogeneous models with multi-view geometry-similarity analysis and reports touch-up targets.
Holds geometric algorithms that convert STEP NURBS free-form surfaces, via analytic surfaces, into Plant CAD primitives.
PRODUCTS
A software suite that automates the repetitive, high-cost tasks of plant engineering.
Automatically converts heterogeneous plant CAD 3D models — PDMS/E3D↔S3D←PDS — through per-discipline conversion, verification and touch-up.
Automatically generates 2D plan drawings from E3D models. Automatic tag placement and nozzle-table generation dramatically cut working time.
Converts image P&ID drawings into digital data and automatically generates training data. DEXPI ↔ Intelligent P&ID exchange.
Automatically computes geometry similarity between heterogeneous CAD models to verify consistency, highlighting issues at a glance with coloring and reports.
We aim to provide a lightweight integrated solution that connects and manages all engineering data in a project based on P&ID tags.
* Official product brand names to be finalized later.
SERVICES
Asterindustry solves clients' engineering challenges through the following flow.
Different CAD per client, huge remodeling cost and human error
Proprietary heterogeneous CAD conversion technology
Reliability secured via a two-step convert → verify → touch-up methodology
Reduced cost and schedule, assured design quality and data consistency
Plant CAD transition strategy consulting
Custom engineering software development
Model conversion automation
Engineering data integration & linkage

AI PLATFORM
AI automatically recognizes and extracts valid design attributes from engineering drawings, converts them into structured data linked to the industry data standard (DEXPI), and interfaces with commercial CAD. It generates symbol, text and line training data in bulk from existing project drawings to continuously improve AI performance.
Image P&ID digitalization — Convert scanned/image drawings into Intelligent P&ID drawings
Automatic training-data generation — Produce training sets in any format, quickly and at scale
DEXPI standard exchange — Bi-directional Intelligent P&ID ↔ DEXPI XML import/export
AI PIPELINE
ENGINEERING SOLUTION
Converting a source model into the target CAD's native model achieves quality identical to manual modeling while reducing human error. Based on verification results, touch-up produces a final model you can trust.
Generates native models with independent engines tailored to each discipline.
Mapping and applying SPEC/CATA and catalog data.
Generates verification reports through multi-view geometry comparison.
Instantly access and correct target models based on the report.
Piping · equipment · structure/outfitting · support — all disciplines
Model generation using neutral-format files and APIs
Conversion rate and consistency managed to as-built requirements
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
We have delivered heterogeneous CAD model conversion and engineering data migration for major Korean shipbuilding, offshore and construction EPCs and global offshore plant projects.
Engineering data migration to hand over FPSO design data — built by a major Korean shipbuilder — in the CAD system format required by the client.
Ran a CAD conversion pilot between PDMS and Smart 3D with a major shipbuilder to validate estimates, volume and schedule, securing bi-directional conversion technology.
Converted a FEED model designed in Smart 3D to PDMS to proceed with detailed and production design and respond early to model design reviews.
Converted the outfitting production model of a global offshore plant project from PDMS to Smart 3D, reducing modeling cost based on past successful experience.
Developed AI-based drawing digitalization and extraction technology as a national R&D project, advancing our proprietary technology.
