## Automated documentation alignment.

Reconcile reads your drawings and documents against each other and shows every place they disagree. Each decision is kept with its reason.

Where did this number come from?

### What Reconcile does

Find every place your drawings and documents disagree.See each value next to the document it came from.Keep every decision with its reason, in one record.

### Problems Reconcile helps solve

## Acceptance testing during design.

Design turns your P&IDs and documents into one model your team can query, walk and test, with the physical, process and procedural models in one view.

What does this design actually do when it runs?

![An engineer working in Athion Design with P&ID models open across the screens.](https://www.athion.io/hubfs/athion-site/photo-spotlight-design.jpg)

### What Design does

### Reads your P&IDs

From DXF and vector PDF to scanned PDF and images.

### Shows three models in one view

Physical, process and procedural models in ISA-88 and ISA-106.

### Tests the design

Acceptance-test interlocks and sequences during design.

### Exports DEXPI 2.0

For the tools you already use.

### The documents come from the same model.

### Documents

The control narrative, sequence specification and interlock schedule, as Word documents.

### Lists

Line, signal and I/O lists as spreadsheets, with your own columns and naming.

### Structured text

Generated from the flow and level model, with an editor and analyzer for custom exports.

Better yieldsSmooth commissioningNo surprises

### If you've used Athion before

Design is the Athion many of you already know, and it hasn't gone anywhere. It's now one app in a larger workspace, so the model you build here can be reconciled against your other documents and checked against the plant's history.

![](https://www.athion.io/hs-fs/hubfs/athion-site/rail-historian.png?width=48&height=44&name=rail-historian.png)HistorianBeta

## Every variable in your plant, in full detail.

Historian captures every variable in your plant, from the plant itself or from the historian you already keep.

What was the plant doing when it happened?

[Get started today](https://www.athion.io/get-started?hsLang=en)

![A concept view of Historian: a query box with a time range and a Search button, a bar chart of readings arriving, and a table of instrument readings with their quality, shown with made-up demo data.](https://www.athion.io/hubfs/athion-site/prod-historian.jpg)

A concept view of Historian, with made-up demo data.

### A baseline, not just a monitor.

A typical historian keeps the key, critical values of your plant so you can see how it is running. Historian does something different. Think of it as a blood draw: one small, simple network setup takes as much data out of the plant as possible, so you can see everything at once.

### Take the baseline

Capture every variable while the plant runs well, so you know what normal looks like.

### Compare when it matters

When something unexpected happens, compare it with your baseline. Unexpectedly good is the hope. Unexpectedly bad will happen. Sometimes it is just weird.

### Get what you need to solve it

Find the problem, or collect the information you need to solve it.

There are many excellent historians for keeping watch on a plant. Finding out why something happened is the problem Historian is built to solve.

### What Historian does

A read-only OPC client (UA, DA or A&E) listens to the whole plant, or just the units you pick.Placed by your OT team, inside your network. Nothing writes back to the plant.No tag-based licensing. Capture every point.Baseline your best day, then compare any day against it.

![](https://www.athion.io/hs-fs/hubfs/athion-site/rail-libraries.png?width=48&height=44&name=rail-libraries.png)LibrariesBeta

## Reusable asset libraries.

Libraries holds your phases and equipment modules, so units and sites reuse the same design.

Why does every site build the same phase differently?

[Get started today](https://www.athion.io/get-started?hsLang=en)

![The Athion Designer's Class library: a reusable class selected, with options to insert it into the drawing, make a child class or publish it to the shared library.](https://www.athion.io/hubfs/athion-site/prod-libraries.jpg)

### What Libraries does

Build a phase or equipment module once, and reuse it on every unit.Equipment classes carry the expected variations between sites.Start a new unit from classes you have already proven.

### Problems Libraries helps solve

![](https://www.athion.io/hs-fs/hubfs/athion-site/rail-workflows.png?width=48&height=44&name=rail-workflows.png)WorkflowsBeta

## Streamline manual integrations.

Workflows call your apps and carry the work from one activity to the next, so nothing is copied or re-keyed by hand.

Which request goes through the most inboxes before anything changes?

![Electronic signatures from two reviewers on one change, with the traceability back to the control system backups.](https://www.athion.io/hubfs/athion-site/prod-workflows.jpg)

### What Workflows does

Automate the hand-offs between activities and teams.Every step tracked: who did what, when, and who approved it.Out of the box: tech transfer, recipe change and validation.Tailor them to your organization's own procedures, or build new ones.

### Problems Workflows helps solve

## Every field change, caught.

Change detection reads your control system backups and shows what changed, and which drawings, documents and systems it touches.

What changed?

[Get started today](https://www.athion.io/get-started?hsLang=en)

![A detected change to a trip setpoint, marked critical, with the reviewers it needs and the decision form.](https://www.athion.io/hubfs/athion-site/prod-change.jpg)

### What Change detection does

Reads DCS, PLC and MES backup files, with no live connection to the plant.Runs after every site backup.Every change is prioritized, and safety systems are always critical.Each change is assigned to the owner of its system.

### Problems Change detection helps solve

## AI that knows your plant.

Connect your favorite major model or use an open-source one. Athion AI answers from your drawings and plant history, and shows where every answer came from.

Can I trust this answer?

[Get started today](https://www.athion.io/get-started?hsLang=en)

![The Athion AI chat: a model picker set to an open-source model, four suggested questions to start from, and a box to ask a question or paste a document.](https://www.athion.io/hubfs/athion-site/prod-ai-chat.jpg)

### Change models without losing your work.

AI keeps evolving, models keep changing, and data privacy in this space is still being defined. Athion gives you the flexibility to change with it.

### A major model

Use the major model your organization has adopted.

### A model of your own

Add a model you develop yourself.

### A wholly private model

Use an open-source model that stays private, so your data doesn't have to go to a major model provider.

Change from one to another whenever you need to. There is no migration, because models plug into your plant's record. It is plug and play, and your work stays where it is.

### What Athion AI does

Use the major model you have adopted, or an open-source one, so your data doesn't have to go to a major model provider.Answers cite the drawing and the query behind them.Calls your apps as tools, right from chat.Runs in a private cloud today, with on-premise coming soon. We never train on your data.
