Pneumatics

Support and assistance in industrial pneumatics

Brightcore Technical Documentation supports its clients through consulting, technical assistance and documentation services in industrial pneumatics, in support of the design, evolution and understanding of pneumatic systems.

Interventions are carried out as technical support, in line with applicable standards, functional project constraints and the standards defined by the client.

Design and support of pneumatic schematics

We support our clients in the full or partial creation of pneumatic schematics and documentation, within a technical support framework, in particular for:

• functional and principle pneumatic schematics,
• compressed air distribution schematics,
• layout drawings and schematics of pneumatic equipment and their identification.

Documents are developed taking into account the technical constraints of the project, manufacturer choices and the client’s internal standards.

Update and optimisation of existing schematics

We work on existing pneumatic schematics in order to:

• correct and improve documentary consistency and reliability,
• update schematics according to evolving standards and technical references,
• adapt documentation to changes in machines or installations,
• integrate new components or references,
• improve the organisation and readability of pneumatic circuits.

This approach aims to improve documentary consistency and maintainability of pneumatic files.

Digitisation and recovery of paper drawings

When pneumatic schematics are only available in paper format, we ensure their digitisation and transcription into a CAD environment, in particular through:

• scanning and vectorisation of existing documents,
• recreation of pneumatic schematics in a suitable CAD tool,
• structuring of files and drawing sets,
• graphical alignment with the client’s internal standards,
• recovery and identification of existing components, references and connections.

These tasks facilitate the updating, use and archiving of pneumatic documentation.

Technical files and bills of materials

In addition to pneumatic schematics, we produce structured technical documentation, including in particular:

• connection and piping principle documents provided as technical support,
• bills of materials (BOM) for pneumatic components,
• lists of valves, cylinders and accessories,
• technical characteristic tables provided as support (pressures, flow rates, functions).

These documents support design, technical analysis and coordination, and facilitate communication between design teams, installers and industrial partners involved in the project.

Pneumatic CAD environments

We work with the CAD tools used for pneumatic design, whether specialised software or general-purpose CAD solutions including pneumatic functions, depending on the standards and requirements of the project.

When the context requires a change of tool or harmonisation of the design environment, we ensure the recovery and reconstruction of pneumatic schematics in the target environment, based on the available documents and data.

Pneumatic CAD tools rely on specific libraries, graphical conventions and internal structures. Projects do not involve automatic conversion or migration from one software tool to another.

The service consists of a controlled reconstruction of schematics, aiming to preserve the functional consistency of circuits, continuity of references and readability of technical documents.

This approach makes it possible to evolve the client’s software environment without disruption to technical processes, while ensuring that pneumatic documentation remains usable and maintainable.

Software environments are defined during the project scoping phase, in full transparency, particularly regarding access to tools and required licences.
