AutoPID
AI-Assisted P&ID Generation & Verification
Generate ISA-5.1 compliant Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams from process descriptions, verify existing P&IDs against current PSM requirements, and identify documentation gaps — in a fraction of the time of manual drafting.
P&ID Intelligence for PSM-Covered Facilities
P&IDs are the cornerstone of PSM compliance — required for PHA, MOC, and pre-startup safety reviews. But at most refineries, they’re maintained as aging CAD files with inconsistent symbology, undocumented changes, and gaps against current ISA-5.1 standards. AutoPID brings AI to P&ID generation and verification, making it faster to create compliant drawings and easier to prove they reflect the actual process.
ISA-5.1 Symbol Library
Complete ISA-5.1 instrumentation symbol library with automatic consistency checking. Flags non-standard symbols, missing instrument tags, and incomplete loop documentation.
AI-Assisted Generation
Describe a process unit in plain language — AutoPID generates a draft P&ID with appropriate instrumentation, safety systems, and control loops based on the process type and applicable standards.
PSM Compliance Verification
Checks existing P&IDs against OSHA 1910.119 requirements — verifying that safety-critical instruments, relief devices, and isolation systems are documented to PSM standards.
MOC Integration
Tracks P&ID revisions with MOC documentation linkage — ensuring that every physical change is reflected in the drawing and documented in the Management of Change record.
Equipment List Generation
Automatically extracts equipment lists, instrument indexes, and line lists from P&IDs — eliminating manual re-entry and keeping process documentation synchronized.
NEXUS CAD Integration
P&IDs generated in AutoPID can be linked to 3D models in NEXUS CAD — creating a connected digital record that spans from process flow to physical equipment geometry.
Where AutoPID Eliminates Manual Work
- New unit design — generate compliant P&IDs from process simulation outputs
- Existing P&ID audit — verify aging drawings against current ISA-5.1 and PSM requirements
- MOC documentation — track P&ID revisions against change management records
- PHA support — generate accurate, current-state P&IDs for PHA team review
- PSSR preparation — verify P&IDs match physical installation before startup
- Contractor handover — validate contractor-produced P&IDs against ISA-5.1 requirements
Platform Details
AutoPID runs as a Windows desktop application with SVG and DXF export capability, compatible with AutoCAD, AVEVA Diagrams, and other P&ID authoring platforms. All process data stays on-premise — no cloud connectivity required.
P&IDs that are current, compliant, and provable.
AutoPID is in development. Process engineers, PSM coordinators, and drafting managers interested in early access can reach out to discuss requirements and integration needs.
