Toward automatic generation of control structures for process flow diagrams with large language models

Understand

Developing Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) is a crucial step during process development.

• We propose a data-driven method for the prediction of control structures.
• Our methodology is inspired by end-to-end transformer-based human language translation models.
• We cast the control structure prediction as a translation task where Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) without control structures are translated to PFDs with control structures.
