PlantStream Inc.(Headquarters: Minato City, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Takehito Miki; Co-CEO: Takeshi Oda; hereinafter “PlantStream”) announces two AI capabilities to accelerate plant design.
The early access program for the P&ID parsing AI tool “PlantStream P&ID AI Data Extractor” (hereinafter “PlantStream AIDE”) began in late July 2025, with the official release scheduled for this winter.
PlantStream is also preparing for the release of “PlantStream with AI Agent,” which enables layout adjustments of 3D models through natural-language instructions.
PlantStream is also accepting requests for custom and co-development of AI features tailored to each customer’s requirements.
In current PlantStream 3D model creation workflows, substantial effort is required to prepare From-To information and adjust initial layouts. To address these challenges, PlantStream aims to accelerate early-stage design by (1) automating data extraction with PlantStream AIDE and (2) simplifying and automating operations with PlantStream with AI Agent.
In addition, the company offers flexible custom development and co-development of AI features optimized for each customer’s design standards and operational practices—thereby improving efficiency and productivity across the plant engineering industry.
AI automatically extracts and compiles piping connection information (From-To list) from uploaded P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams), replacing manual processes and accelerating the transition from From-To list creation to 3D model design.
PlantStream AIDE (product details / early trial access request):

An AI agent that executes design actions from natural-language prompts, eliminating complex click sequences. Simple commands—such as “move this area as a group” or “align equipment”—automatically adjust 3D model layouts.
Batch Move by Area
Reposition all equipment within a designated area using a single prompt
Auto Alignment
Automatically align equipment layout via prompt commands — no manual work needed.

PlantStream is a 3D CAD software solution designed for automatic spatial planning in plant engineering—including layout, piping, civil, architectural, electrical, and instrumentation design.
Developed through a collaboration between Chiyoda Corporation (a major global EPC firm) and Arent Inc. (experts in 3D CAD development), PlantStream was launched in 2020.
By incorporating proprietary routing algorithms based on real-world plant design practices, PlantStream enables rapid and accurate piping and cable layout.
Whereas conventional piping design could take up to 2 hours per line, PlantStream can automatically generate up to 1,000 lines in just one minute.
Currently, more than 30 engineering firms and plant owners, both in Japan and internationally, use PlantStream.
We remain committed to solving challenges across the global plant industry by supporting design efficiency and digital transformation (DX).
If you are facing issues related to design workload, labor shortages, or early-stage design quality, feel free to reach out for a consultation.
