Puma5 : a successful history

Consolidated system in the Italian market, expanding
in the Europe
 First issue in 1990, developed based upon the major Italian
plant layout companies
 Utilized by more than sixty companies
 Stand-alone and client-server flexible configuration, utilised
also by multinational companies having centralised servers
with world-wide access
 Web enabled via MS Terminal Services

Integrated with the more utilised 3D CAD systems:

Puma5 strategy
Be 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

12
 System for piping global management

Main key factors

Immediate and easy to use
Fully integrated with MS Office (export in Excel and Word formats)
Data located on centralised server continuously updated and
available
Direct 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 activities
WEB enabled: all functions available and workable with MS
Internet Explorer browser

13
 System for piping global management

Why Puma5 is competitive

Developed 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
