Manage the piping
reducing times, costs and risks.
Puma5 is an application software system for the piping materials management, specifically developed for the companies working in the industry plant layout, such as: refinery, petrochemical, power generation, iron and
steel, water treatment, naval, pharmaceutical, food, construction and erection, etc..
Besides exploiting the normal functions which are typical of management systems, Puma5 is really a working methodology since it is an effective tool for the execution and optimization of design and management activities, during the whole project life-cycle, from the piping classes creation up to the materials accounting and related MTO's, procurement and construction.
The system runs in Microsoft Windows and is fully integrated with MS Office, thus permitting immediate import/export to and from Word and Excel. It is available in both Client-Server and Web-enabled versions, which allow the centralised project database to be simultaneously accessed by Clients, Contractors and Sub-Contractors, Partners, Construction sites, etc...
Positioning in the EPC
This diagram represents the best positioning of Puma5 in typical EPC workflow. As this can't be always achieved, Puma5 can be still used to solve the particular problems. From this diagram you can also see that PUMA5 fits nicely in existing IT infrastructure because naturally integrate with ERP systems. This avoids confusion, the risk of duplicating data, and preserves investments in the existing ERP.
Advantages:
• Lower project costs through: optimize manage piping materials & reducing man-hours
• Reduce project schedule: integration of design and management activities & dramatic reduction of modifications
• Lower project risks through timely and accurate data supply for:
estimating activities, planning and budgeting &
project control activities
Benefits
• Integration with 2D & 3D design activities
