A Multimodal AI System for Intelligent Hazard and Operability Analysis in Process Industries

This project will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can make safety reviews in industrial plants faster, smarter, and more reliable. The intern will help build a computer system that can read and understand technical drawings and documents used in engineering, then use that information to spot possible risks in how equipment is designed or operated. By using advanced AI tools like language models and image recognition, the system will help safety teams identify hazards earlier and suggest ways to fix them. This will save time, reduce human error, and improve how safety checks are done. The partner organization will benefit from early access to this new technology, which can make their safety processes more efficient and help prevent accidents in complex systems.
