When reviewing the physical system, two of the most important sources of information are:
• Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
• The client
P&IDs provide you with a basic blueprint for the layout of the system, while the client can explain the processes and answer any questions you may have.

The client has provided you with a process and instrumentation diagram (P&ID), operation instructions, and requirements for the system. You have been asked to design your application based on this information.
