Turn PFDs into documentation in minutes

Upload a chemical Process Diagram. PFD Bench extracts equipment and tags, traces connections, and drafts a process description you can review, edit, and export.

Initial view of PFD Bench, with projects organized by tiles.

Focus on process engineering.
Not on documentation.

Every PFD tells a story, but turning it into written specs usually means:

  • cataloging equipment manually
  • tracing inlets, outlets and flow paths one by one
  • writing descriptions that match the drawing
  • updating everything when the diagram changes

PFD Bench reads diagrams like an engineer.
It writes descriptions you can use.

Equipment, tags, and connections

Verify

Cross-check for consistency, with human review step

Generate

a process description you can edit and export


Benefits


From hours to minutes

What took half a day becomes a quick review

Consistent and complete

Standardized output, fewer missed tags, fewer “did we include everything?” moments

Your data, your server

Dedicated deployment: on-premise or single-tenant VM + storage


I was surprised by the time I saved using PFD Bench

Common questions

Q: How accurate is the extraction?

Based on users’ experience, PFD Bench always identifies the correct equipment. It consistently achieves over 95% accuracy for the connections (how streams connect equipment to each other). The verification step let’s you catch and correct any gaps before generating the process description.

Q: What file formats are supported?

DXF exports from standard CAD tools (AutoCAD, MicroStation, etc.). PDF support is on the roadmap.

Q: Can I edit the generated descriptions?

Yes. The output is fully editable before export.

Q: What about confidentiality?

Dedicated deployment is available. Your diagrams stay on your infrastructure – no shared servers. The only data leaving your environment are the API calls to state-of-the-art LLMs. Using local LLMs for maximum privacy is on the roadmap.

Q: How much does it cost?
