FlowSync · Engineering · Powered by Taylor
Build it from your drawings. Run it on live data. Ask it anything.
FlowSync turns the PDFs, GIS, and SCADA you already have into a live hydraulic and process model, and keeps it current.

How it works
From a folder of drawings to a model that answers back.
Ingest
Drop the drawings in.
PDFs, P&IDs, GIS layers, datasheets, as-builts. Model Builder reads them the way an engineer would. No templates, no manual takeoffs.
Build
Watch the model assemble itself.
Equipment, connectivity, and specs populate automatically into one live network and facility model. The transcription work disappears.
Simulate
Run it on today’s data.
Flow Simulator and Process Simulator run against current SCADA, so the answer reflects the asset as it is now. Then Taylor explains it, cited to the drawing it came from.
The FlowSync difference
Don’t be the bottleneck.
FlowSync reads your GIS directly. Topology, diameters, lengths, elevations, and connectivity flow in live. No shapefile exports, no manual handoffs, no version that is already stale by the time it lands.
Drop in drawings and photos straight from the field. Model Builder reads them the way an engineer would and pulls equipment, tags, line specs, and connectivity automatically.
Every extracted model is checked against your as-builts and controlled drawings. Discrepancies get flagged, so the model matches what is actually in the ground, not what someone drew a decade ago.
When the model corrects a tag, a spec, or a connection, the fix flows back to GIS and your systems of record. The loop closes, and the next person to open the drawing sees the truth.
The result
Every source you have, one model that stays true.

The three modules
Build. Simulate. Design. On one stack.
Build the model from the documents you already have.
Extracts engineering models from PDFs, P&IDs, datasheets, vendor cutsheets, GIS layers, and as-builts, automatically. Reads the documents, identifies equipment, traces flowpaths, populates equipment specs, and produces a complete digital twin of your gathering system, plant, or distribution network.
Maintains the model as new drawings, MOCs, and as-builts are added.
Model builds went from weeks of manual effort to minutes of verification (deployment account). FlowSync builds from the documents you already maintain, and keeps the model synced to live data.
Automates the model build: generates the network model from the GIS, P&IDs, and historian data you already maintain, so the work is repeatable and the knowledge stays in the system.
Steady-state and transient hydraulic simulation, on live data.
Hydraulic simulation for liquids and gas. Gathering systems, transmission lines, distribution networks. Steady-state for daily planning, transient for line pack, blowdowns, surge analysis, and emergency response.
Runs against the WorkSync DataHub so simulations always see current operating conditions, not last quarter's snapshot.
Built to make the engineering tools you already trust go further. FlowSync keeps your Synergi Gas, SPS, and OLGA models fed with live, current data, so your engineers spend their hours on the analysis, not rebuilding the model.
Works alongside the simulators you already run. FlowSync builds and continuously updates the network model, then feeds DNV Synergi Gas and Synergi Pipeline Simulator (SPS), SLB OLGA, Emerson PipelineStudio, and Aspen HYSYS the clean, current inputs they need. You keep your tools and your licenses; your team gets weeks of model-build time back.
Live, drawing-driven process modeling for the questions you answer every week.
Process simulation for gas processing, dehydration, sweetening, compression, separation, and small-facility design. Sized for the everyday facility-design and troubleshooting work that makes up the bulk of operator engineering, where you want a live, drawing-driven answer in minutes.
Runs against the same Model Builder output as Flow Simulator.
Built for the fast, drawing-driven, live-data questions you answer every week.
Interoperates with and runs alongside Aspen HYSYS (AspenTech, an Emerson business), ProMax, and Honeywell UniSim. FlowSync handles fast, drawing-driven revamp and troubleshooting work, and feeds the same asset spec your full simulator uses.
Meet Taylor · AI Engineer Agent
The senior engineer who never retires. Cited answers. In seconds.
Taylor is trained on the customer’s own engineering library. Every drawing, every MOC, every operating procedure. Plus the codes engineers actually use (API, ASME, NFPA, AGA, ISA, PHMSA).
Built to make your best engineers faster. Not to replace them.
She answers questions about the facility, retrieves drawings, runs sensitivities on the model, generates calculation packages, drafts MOCs, summarizes incidents, writes operating procedures.
She cites her sources. Every answer points back to the drawing, datasheet, or code clause it came from. She works in chat, in the simulator, in the document viewer, and inline in MOC and procedure workflows.
Taylor replaces the “engineer who knows is in a meeting,” the lost half-day hunting for a drawing, and the senior engineer’s brain (the one who’s retiring next year).

03 · End-to-end automation, with QA
Build, simulate, design, calibrate, maintain. Five-agent stack with verification at every step.
Drawing classification, symbol recognition, topology extraction, data reconciliation, spec extraction. Five specialized agents stacked, with the engineer verifying instead of re-keying.
The QA discipline (constraint enforcement, confidence-aware routing, drift detection, outcome feedback, audit trail, honest hand-off) runs across every step. Other tools automate a slice. FlowSync automates the loop.
- Extract
Equipment, specs and flowpath
Each document is classified, the symbols and tags are recognized, the flowpath is traced, and every value is recorded against the page it came from. Extraction that is unsure of an item routes it to a person rather than guessing it.
- Reconcile
Where the sources disagree
The drawing, the GIS layer and the as-built are compared against each other. Every disagreement is flagged with both values and both sources, so an engineer rules on it before a study runs on it.
- Verify
The engineer approves, then it stays current
The build ends in a review, not a rebuild. Once approved, new drawings, MOCs and redlines are re-read as they land, so the model tracks the asset instead of drifting between projects.
- Calibrate
Compare the model against measurement
Modeled results sit beside your own meters. Where they part company, the difference is shown per element, which is how a model earns trust and how a bad input gets found.
Validation
WorkSync Research · Volume V · June 2026
Read how one operator did it, end to end.
A 15-page white paper on the anonymized deployment behind this page: hydraulic models built from P&IDs and alignment sheets, the Golden Record, version control for studies, and simulation-file management.
Model builds went from weeks of manual effort to minutes of verification across 2,000+ miles of pipeline modeled (deployment account).
The established engineering tools each go deep on their own domain. Synergi Pipeline Simulator handles liquid and gas pipeline hydraulics, and Synergi Gas is the gas-network workhorse. HYSYS and UniSim model process; OLGA models multiphase flow.
FlowSync automates the model-build step that sits in front of all of them, and keeps that model current, across every fluid class an upstream, midstream, or distribution operator actually runs. It integrates with the simulators those operators already own. Three claims, plainly stated.
01 · Across all fluid types
Gas, oil, water, multi-phase. Gathering, transmission, distribution.
Single-phase gas, single-phase liquid, multi-phase gathering, water injection systems, gas distribution networks, plant utilities, and process loops. Steady-state and transient. The same model-building, simulation, and maintenance loop runs across every fluid class.
Most operators end up running two or three different simulator ecosystems, because each one is built deep on its own domain. The model-build loop in front of all of them is the same work, and that is the part FlowSync automates.
02 · Integrates with existing simulators
Synergi, HYSYS, ProMax, OLGA, AFT, PipeSim, EPANET, WaterGEMS, MIKE+, and the other platforms your team already runs.
Model Builder feeds the simulator your team already uses, automatically. Synergi for gas-pipeline integrity work, HYSYS or ProMax for greenfield process design, OLGA for deep-water transient, AFT Fathom for liquid-flow hydraulics, PipeSim for production system models.
The deep work stays in the deep tool. FlowSync is not a replacement-only play. It coexists with the simulator licenses you already hold, by design.
