Cross-discipline conflict detection for greenfield sites
The same physical equipment shows up under three different identifiers across CAD, equipment databases, and SAP. Vyuh resolves them into a single canonical model and lets AI agents reason over it — detecting spatial conflicts, including compound risks that exist in no single source system.
Same equipment. Three identifier systems.
On every greenfield project, the same physical asset shows up under three different identifiers — once in the process flow diagram, once in the equipment database, once in SAP. Without resolution, no downstream check can know whether equipment placed at coordinates (X, Y) falls inside a constraint zone identified by another system.
Entity resolution audit — anonymized excerpt
Every row collapses into one canonical entity. All downstream checks operate on the resolved model.
| Equipment | PFD Tag | Equipment ID | SAP Functional Loc. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Distillation Column | C-101 | EQ-9123 | FL-XM-C101 |
| Heat Exchanger | E-101 | EQ-4472 | FL-XM-E101 |
| Storage Tank | T-201 | EQ-7831 | FL-XM-T201 |
| Centrifugal Pump | P-301 | EQ-2156 | FL-XM-P301 |
| Pressure Vessel | D-101 | EQ-6028 | FL-XM-D101 |
What the agents do on top of the resolved model
The deterministic spatial engine is the ground truth — every intersection, distance, and exclusion zone is auditable math. AI agents reason over that ground truth where intelligence helps, but they cannot override the physics.
Multi-round reasoning loop. Inspects equipment properties, weighs pipe connections and relocation cost, tests moves against the spatial engine, and verifies improvement before committing. Streams its reasoning to the user in real time.
Explains conflicts in domain-expert language and identifies compound risks the source systems cannot see on their own. Prioritizes by real-world impact, not just geometric severity.
“D-101's 30m high-hazard exclusion zone overlaps Site Beta's FEMA flood zone — a compound risk that exists in neither system individually.”
Generates an executive recommendation with trade-off analysis between top options, grounded in the deterministic spatial engine. Every claim traceable; AI agents reason over the ground truth but cannot override the physics.
Seven spatial checks, three of them 3D-aware
Standard spatial analysis works in 2D — footprint polygons on a flat plane. Equipment sits at different heights, cranes sweep cones, pipe racks impose vertical clearances. The platform runs all seven checks for every site-layout combination.
- Boundary violationEquipment extends beyond site boundary
- Constraint overlapEquipment in flood zone, wetland, easement
- Safety separation3DPairwise distance below API 2510 / NFPA 30
- Access violationInsufficient crane or maintenance clearance
- Derived zone overlapEquipment inside another's computed exclusion zone
- Crane swing3DTall equipment in crane boom sweep path
- Vertical clearance3DEquipment too tall for pipe rack clearance
Ranked, decision-ready, traceable to ground truth
For every site-layout combination, the agents produce a ranked recommendation grounded in the deterministic spatial engine. The Resolution Planner then iterates equipment moves until conflicts stabilize — automatically resolving 43% of conflicts on the validation workload.
Site selection — ranked combinations
Site names anonymized. From the validation workload — Light Naphtha Processing Unit, 10 equipment items, 6 hazard classes, API 2510 / NFPA 30 / OSHA 1910.
| Rank | Site + Layout | Score | Conflicts | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Site A + Linear | 100/100 | 0 | Recommended |
| #2 | Site B + Linear | 100/100 | 0 | Recommended |
| #3 | Site C + Linear | 44/100 | 3 | Not Recommended |
| #4 | Site C + Compact | 0/100 | 11 | Not Recommended |
Equipment, constraints, conflicts — at true height
The same canonical model that drives the ranked output also drives the visualization. Equipment is rendered at true height, color-coded by hazard class. Constraint zones — flood plains, wetland buffers, pipeline rights-of-way — appear as transparent volumes. Equipment in conflict turns red. Switch sites and layouts to compare.
