GS Caltex is building a troubleshooting agent from how its veteran engineers diagnose equipment trips

The team mapped how four equipment teams diagnose trips and profiled maintenance records across more than 830,000 assets, and fewer than half of equipment types had enough usable history to start. Capture how your best engineers diagnose before you pick a model; engineers keep the final decision.

AutoCAD MCP for piping: an AI assistant draws P&IDs, tank details and plot plans in AutoCAD or Plant 3D

Built by a piping and pipe-supports engineer, it gives an agent 50 tools for layers, block tags, ISA instrument balloons and support registers that can be compared by tag across revisions. It is locked to one work folder by default, can keep the original drawing untouched, and logs every edit.

For piping designers and pipe-support engineers: have the agent draft, dimension and export the routine sheets, then check them like any other drafter's work.
