AI Instrumentation Engineering Software for Cement & Steel Plants

Instrumentation engineering for a greenfield cement plant or steel mill involves thousands of instruments — flow meters, pressure transmitters, level instruments, temperature sensors, analyzers, control valves — each requiring correct specification, datasheet generation, hook-up design, loop diagram, and DCS I/O assignment. This process, done manually, is slow, error-prone, and expensive. e2e Rosh IT Solutions’ AI Instrumentation platform automates this engineering workflow.

Platform Capabilities

AI Instrument Selection

Given process conditions (fluid type, temperature, pressure, flow range, process connection), the AI engine automatically selects the correct instrument type, technology, material of construction, process connection, and accuracy class — following project engineering standards (ISA, IEC, client specs) and the approved vendor list. Covers flow, level, pressure, temperature, analyzers, and control valves.

Automated Instrument Datasheets

Automatically generates ISA-compliant instrument datasheets populated with process data from the P&ID, line list, and process simulation output. The AI validates completeness, flags missing process data, and generates revision-controlled datasheets in the project’s standard format — ready for vendor inquiry.

Loop Diagram Generation

Automatically generates instrument loop diagrams from the instrument index and I/O assignment data. Each loop is drawn to ISA 5.4 standards, showing field instruments, junction boxes, marshalling, DCS I/O cards, and power supplies — with automatic cable tag cross-referencing from the cable schedule.

Hook-Up Design

Generates standard hook-up drawings (impulse piping, tubing, and accessories) for each instrument based on service (pressure tap, flow orifice, level bridle, thermowell) and process conditions — auto-selected from the project’s approved hook-up library.

DCS / PLC I/O Assignment

Intelligently assigns field instruments to DCS I/O cards and marshalling cabinets, balancing load, grouping by process area, and following cable length constraints. Generates I/O assignment schedules, marshalling cabinet layouts, and junction box schedules automatically from the instrument index.

Cement & Steel Plant-Specific Intelligence

Our platform includes domain-specific knowledge for cement and steel processes — kiln instrumentation, raw mill, cement mill, cooler, pyro section (cement); blast furnace, BOF, caster, rolling mill, and power plant instrumentation (steel). The AI knows the typical instruments for each process section and the specific challenges (high temperature, abrasive slurry, dusty environment) that influence selection.
