Automated component sourcing based on process system design

A system for automating inventory management, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory having stored thereon instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive design specifications of a process system in an industrial environment via a system design application;
• determine components to implement the process system from the design specifications;
• identify a subset of the components that comprise components with configurable options to achieve a desired output of the process system;
• generate a configuration file, the generating the configuration file comprising translating information identifying the subset of the components from a first format of the design specifications to a second format used by a configuration application;
• and
• provide the configuration file to the configuration application.

A computer-readable storage media device having program instructions stored thereon to facilitate inventory management automation, wherein the program instructions, upon execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive design specifications of a process system in an industrial environment via a system design application;
• determine components to implement the process system from the design specifications;
• identify a subset of the components that comprise components with configurable options to achieve a desired output of the process system;
• generate a configuration file, the generating the configuration file comprising translating information identifying the subset of the components from a first format of the design specifications to a second format used by a configuration application;
• and
• provide the configuration file to the configuration application.
