All projects

P&ID to Knowledge Graph

Turn P&IDs into structured equipment, instrument, and control-loop relationships that an AI assistant can use when troubleshooting.

Industrial AI Troubleshooting Assistant

An agentic assistant that finds the root cause of a plant issue. It connects Claude to a historian, DCS alarm logs, an equipment knowledge graph and plant documentation through an MCP server, then writes out every step it took to get there.

HistorianSim: Plant Historian Data for Any Process

Describe a chemical process in plain English and this simulates 90 days of it, with control loops that hide the faults, noisy instruments, historian compression and an answer key for 9 hidden faults.

HistorianRCA: A Root Cause Analysis Benchmark

A root cause analysis benchmark built on plant historian data. 90 days of data from a steam-heated hold tank, noisy and compressed like a real historian, with hidden faults to find and diagnose from first principles. Built to test engineers, ML models and AI agents.

Public Chemical Manufacturing Datasets

A curated list of public chemical manufacturing data. Five real P&ID sets from permitted facilities and five time-series process datasets, with the source, the size and what each one is actually good for.

PFD Generator

Describe a process in plain English and get an editable PFD with equipment, process streams, and control loops. No coding experience required.

Fault Detection on the Tennessee Eastman Process

Fault detection on the Tennessee Eastman Process, seven models compared head to head. Classical MSPC against four machine learning models, all scored on post-fault samples only.
