Metaplant provides purpose‑built, web‑based software for process facilities that integrates 3D modeling, AI, and automation to manage the full lifecycle from design through operation. Its platform offers features such as collision‑aware auto‑routing for piping and cable carriers, 4D construction simulation linked to the 3D model, and real‑time sensor data overlay for operations monitoring, enabling engineers, operators, and asset managers to work faster and more accurately.

Problem
Process facilities such as oil & gas, petrochemical, power, and water plants require coordinated design, construction, and operation across multiple engineering disciplines. Traditional CAD and data management tools are fragmented, leading to costly rework, schedule delays, and limited visibility into real‑time plant performance.
Solution
Metaplant provides a web‑based platform that unifies 3D modeling, AI‑assisted design, and automation for the entire plant lifecycle. Engineers can create multidisciplinary models with collision‑aware auto‑routing for piping and cable carriers, while live P&ID links keep schematics synchronized with the 3D geometry. The system supports parametric equipment design, 4D construction simulation, and mobile field data capture, enabling teams to compare planned versus actual progress in real time. During operation, live sensor feeds, work orders, and notifications overlay directly on the 3D model, giving operators contextual insight for maintenance and performance monitoring. An open integration ecosystem allows data exchange with existing enterprise systems.
Target Audience
Primary customers are engineering firms, construction contractors, and asset management teams responsible for designing, building, and operating large‑scale process plants in the oil & gas, petrochemical, power, and water sectors.
