A system for automatic routing of chemicals includes a plurality of equipment, including a source and a destination, and one or more possible paths between the source and destination. The system further includes a process control unit to communicate with the equipment, a routing control unit to communicate with the process control unit. The routing control unit is provided with control algorithms for finding an optimum path between the source and the destination based at least partially on feedback from the process control unit.
