CxAI nameplate: Enriching assets with nameplate photo

Overview: CxAI nameplate extraction


CxAI nameplate extraction in the Assets module populates asset attributes from a photographed or uploaded nameplate image, which is used on site when equipment data is missing and must be captured from the physical asset tag.


For Excel bulk import or manual attribute edits, use those dedicated guides.


  • Your role must allow access to the asset on the project.
  • You can find the menu at Assets module - open asset - Attributes - AI auto-update - Extract data from image.
  • This updates matching asset attributes and can create new attributes from the image. It does not create a new asset.


CxAI nameplate extraction is available on mobile and desktop, and is designed primarily for on-site mobile use.


How to extract nameplate data with CxAI


  1. Open the Assets module and locate the asset.
  2. Open the asset. Details are on the left. Attributes are on the right.
  3. On the Attributes panel, click AI auto-update.
  4. Click Extract data from image.
  5. On mobile, capture the nameplate with the camera. On desktop, select a saved photo.
  6. Review the extracted fields. Use dropdowns for uncertain values. Click Create to add a new attribute when needed.
  7. Click Update all existing attributes, or update attributes one by one.
  8. Confirm the Data added timestamp and check the global asset overview.
