SINOPHARM Engineering's PEDesign Intelligent Design Platform Officially Debuts
On October 14, the 2026 "Breaking Through and Empowering: Pharmaceutical Engineering Going Global and Digital-Intelligent Technology Experience Exchange Conference," hosted by the China Pharmaceutical Engineering Design Association, was successfully held. At the conference, China National Pharmaceutical Engineering (Sinopharm Engineering) made a major release of the PEDesign Intelligent Design Platform — the first AI intelligent design platform in China covering all disciplines in the pharmaceutical engineering field — officially unveiled, helping pharmaceutical engineering design transition from the traditional "drawing-driven" model to a new digital-intelligent stage of "data-driven" operation.
In traditional pharmaceutical engineering design work, industry pain points such as the difficulty of multi-discipline cross-collaboration, low efficiency of drawing information transfer, and difficulty in controlling version changes have long constrained design quality and project progress efficiency. To address these existing industry challenges, Sinopharm Engineering concentrated its efforts on tackling these problems and developed the PEDesign Intelligent Design Platform. With AI intelligent technology as its core foundation, it establishes three major data flow main lines centered on equipment, rooms, and individual buildings, breaking through many bottlenecks of the traditional design model.
The platform covers ten major disciplines: process, architecture, structure, HVAC, water supply and drainage, electrical, automation control, power, general layout, and environmental protection. It integrates over 100 AI intelligent professional tools, and its room data flow can carry more than 180 design parameters across all disciplines, ensuring data uniqueness and credibility throughout the entire process, with real-time push notifications for design changes. Relying on the platform's capabilities, it truly achieves "one modification, synchronized updates across multiple drawings," and derives generative design capabilities such as automatic lighting fixture layout, one-click sprinkler placement, and intelligent air outlet planning. The general technology foundation connects the entire data flow chain, realizing full-process automation of intelligent base drawing generation, release, reception, and updating, reshaping the pharmaceutical engineering design workflow.
The three major data flows run through the entire design process, achieving systematic planning of condition input, selection calculation, equipment plan layout, and piping drawing. The architecture module can perform AI intelligent recognition, generate multi-story building base drawings with one click, automatically compile door and window schedules, parametrically and rapidly draw staircases, with outputs directly supporting downstream collaborative work across all disciplines.
The AI intelligent tools of each discipline hand tedious calculations over to the system: automatic HVAC air volume calculation and equipment selection, automatic duct drawing with hydraulic calculations; AI verification of fire hydrant protection ranges for water supply and drainage, one-click sprinkler placement, automatic pipe connection calculations; electrical power distribution large and small system design, automatic lighting fixture layout; automatic structural pile foundation data export, automatic constructional column placement, one-click staircase generation, and automatic drawing comparison with deviation highlighting.
From calculation to drawing production, the platform achieves full-process automation: one-click generation of HVAC flow diagrams, power distribution system diagrams, automation control system diagrams, and comprehensive data sheets; equipment tables support dual-format export to CAD/Excel; and design conditions such as wall openings, pipe shafts, and floor slab openings are automatically generated. Each discipline achieves data transmission through the equipment, room, and building data flows, greatly improving design efficiency and quality.
The PEDesign Intelligent Design Platform effectively reduces design errors, strengthens cross-disciplinary collaboration efficiency, and embodies the product philosophy of "making pharmaceutical engineering design smarter, more efficient, and more standardized." Next, Sinopharm Engineering will continue to deepen the deep integration of AI large models with the design platform, connect AI cost estimation databases and industry AI knowledge bases, continuously iterate platform capabilities, and inject strong momentum into the digital and intelligent transformation of the pharmaceutical engineering industry.
