Puma5 strategyBe on the market as a valid alternate solution to the systems at present utilised for piping management (both commercial and in-house developed), that are complex, expensive and require a huge utilisation of resources and time for customisation and maintenance

Make available all the necessary tools and codes for design and management, to be immediately utilised as-it-is (if necessary customisation are performed in very short time)

Maintain and increase the present market share, through continuous updating and improvement

Increase integration with CAD systems and corporate management systems

System for piping global management

Main key factorsImmediate and easy to useFully integrated with MS Office (export in Excel and Word formats)Data located on centralised server continuously updated and availableDirect integration with 3D CAD systems (Piping Classes export, material lists import)AutoPLANT (Bentley)PDS 3D (Intergraph)PDMS (Aveva) UG (Unigraphics)

Complete functions to support all the project life-cycle activitiesWEB enabled: all functions available and workable with MS Internet Explorer browser

System for piping global management

Why Puma5 is competitiveDeveloped on the basis of requirements from the major main contracting companies working mainly on EPC contracts

Complete management of components, attributes and quantities during all the phases (Spc, MTO, P.Orders, Construction) Very high penetration among Italian plant layout companies (..it is a de facto std)

Low costs (n times lower than the other available systems)

Tested and consolidated, it has been successfully utilised on hundreds projects

Very fast learning rate, immediate investment return, very high cost/benefit ratio

System for piping global management

Piping ClassesEASY TO USE MASKS FOR THE BASE INFORMATION INPUT AND COMPONENT SELECTION

System for piping global management

Process moduleProvides the process data management in Fluid List and Line listFocus on Line List in downstream engineering activitiesAssured integrity among data of Fluid List, Line list and Piping Classes Continuous monitoring of revisions and automatic updating of data and documents in following phases

System for piping global management

Process functionsSet-up and management of Fluid List and Line ListLine List supporting several operating conditions (normal and transient)Preventive simulation of changes possible impactSupport to PED code, equipment category calculationAutomatic up-date of Material Take-Off based on Process data changesCapability of import from external sources (Intelligent P&ID, .)

System for piping global management

ProcessTHE LINKS BETWEEN FLUID LIST AND LINE LIST PROVIDE THEIR ALIGNMENTAND THE SIMULATION OF CHANGES IMPACT

System for piping global management

Take-Off moduleMaterial accounting with materials lists (MTO) for procurement and constructionManual input and/or direct import from 3D CAD systemsMTO correction based on Piping Classes changes after material accounting, with automatic alignment of: piping classes, MTOs and requisitions Surplus automatically defined (from project tables) or manually

System for piping global management

Take-Off functionsEasy and fast manual input with components selected directly from Piping ClassesAutomated input from CAD systems through configurable import/export interfaces Customised reports from material lists Customisable by users surplus tablesAutomatic alignment of MTO and Requisitions in case of Piping Classes changesReports extraction customisable by users, such as for: planning, prefabrication control, welding quantity
