SBS AI
In an increasingly complex landscape, utilities and engineering firms are under pressure to deliver projects faster, with fewer resources and higher data quality. SBS AI turns engineering knowledge into a reusable, scalable asset, helping you reduce manual work, improve consistency, and shorten time to design and regulatory report completion.
Learn how we can help you bring AI into your design, planning, and compliance work safely and securely, without ever having to send data to a third-party cloud.
Talk to usSubsGPT: AI-powered substation conceptual design
SubsGPT is a family of Agentic services within SBS AI that automates concept-to-permitting workflows for substations and related assets.
- Automatically generate 3D substation concepts aligned with your design standards.
- Produce fully populated multi-page proposals with drawings, BIM-ready 3D models, and bills of materials.
- Hand off to Autodesk Construction Cloud, SBS design apps, or Esri ArcGIS with one click while keeping full metadata preserved.
Gain the SBS advantage
Automate design generation with AI
With models that run securely within your firewall, you can accelerate proposal and design creation with SubsGPT AI agents trained on your templates, standards, and rules. Enter a short project description and quickly generate compliant conceptual designs, models, and documentation ready for engineering refinement.
Design in real-world context with Esri integration
Use Esri Maps to visualize potential sites and surrounding assets. The AI interprets asset metadata and geolocation to build tailored designs in context, helping to reduce upfront data preparation and manual mapping.
Improve site selection accuracy
Purpose-built agents for design, environmental, construction, and finance evaluate and compare potential sites. This gives you clear, defensible recommendations your team can trust instead of a black-box output.
Publish and collaborate seamlessly
Once generated, designs can flow directly into Autodesk Construction Cloud for markup, clash detection, and issue tracking. With full compatibility across AutoCAD-based environments, collaboration and continuity stay intact from concept to construction.
Agentic AI: Automated Compliance Report QA/QC
Save months of engineering time with AI-powered reporting.
- Validate your FAC-008 and FAC-014 compliance reporting with AI.
- Extract data from CAD files, material lists, and handwritten annotations.
- Generate structured reports that trace every data point back to its source.
Discover the power of Agentic AI
Automate compliance validation with AI
Accelerate compliance reporting with Agentic AI trained on your prints, standards, and report templates. Automatically analyze one-line diagrams, identify equipment IDs, and cross-reference data from nameplates, material lists, and even handwritten notes.
Extract data accurately with computer vision
A convolutional neural network optimized for utility drawings extracts data from title blocks, revisions, and annotations to deliver precise, structured results every time. It even works with scanned or handwritten documents.
Maintain security with on-premises control
All AI models run locally within your firewall, keeping sensitive data secure. Choose your preferred report type or export raw structured data to fit your workflow, with clickable traceability for easy verification.
Ensure accuracy with agent-driven orchestration
Specialized AI agents manage orchestration, data indexing, visual analysis, and report generation. Final human review confirms accuracy before results are exported into your standardized templates.
