AI Agent Workflow

openIndu-studio Overview

openIndu-studio breaks industrial-automation projects down -- from requirements to PLC/HMI programming -- into a collaborative, traceable standard process (the six-step PLC development workflow), progressively integrating Claude Code and MCP knowledge retrieval.

Step 1

Electrical Module Breakdown

Split electrical modules based on the equipment list and process requirements, defining each module's functional boundaries, actuators, and sensor needs.

Step 2

Circuit Diagram Design

Generate circuit-diagram design recommendations around power, control, drive, safety, and communication circuits, and output preliminary I/O requirements.

Step 3

BOM List

Compile a bill of materials -- PLCs, HMIs, drives, low-voltage electrical components, cable terminals -- based on the circuit diagram and brand-selection rules.

Step 4

I/O Address Planning

Generate an I/O address table from equipment actions, signal types, and brand addressing conventions, providing the basis for PLC variable definitions.

Step 5

PLC Programming

Design the program structure from the I/O table and process flow, generating draft core logic for sequencing, alarms, manual/auto modes, and communication.

Step 6

HMI Programming

Design HMI screens and variable-binding schemes around equipment operation, status monitoring, alarm diagnostics, and parameter maintenance.

End-to-End Deliverable Chain

Workflow output converges into a structured IR, which the converters engine then renders into real engineering files -- covering BOM, I/O tables, circuit diagrams, PLC/HMI middleware, and project reports.

Roadmap

Phase P2 will integrate brand-manual RAG retrieval, agent orchestration, file-template generation, and project-level workflow logging -- enabling end-to-end assisted development from design input to code drafts.
