WHAT AND WHY

Well known Scenarios

Pre-assembled and tested elements often have to be installed precisely on the other side of the world. One works with unknown teams, in different languages, not infrequently with only a moderate Internet connection. Nevertheless, the work has to be done on time and smoothly. 

Around the world
CHALLENGES

Why Special Machinery and Plant Engineering Projects Are So Difficult to Control

Engineering, Manufacturing and Installation Run in Parallel

Changes in one project phase often have a direct impact on downstream activities. Without transparent coordination, delays, additional effort and unnecessary rework can quickly occur.

Teams Collaborate Across the Globe

Suppliers, installation teams and customers need access to up-to-date project information at all times, regardless of location or language.

Too Many Data Sources, Too Little Transparency

Project status, progress updates and open issues are often managed in spreadsheets, emails or presentations. As a result, there is no single source of truth for the actual project status.

Open Issues Delay Commissioning

Defects, remaining tasks and change requests must be captured, assigned and tracked quickly. Without full visibility, coordination efforts increase and critical issues remain unresolved.

Risks Are Often Identified Too Late

Delays frequently become visible only when project milestones are already at risk. By then, there is often very little time left to take corrective action.

SOLUTION

One System for Every Project Phase

From the initial concept to successful commissioning, challenges in special machinery and plant engineering do not arise at a single point in time. They occur throughout the entire project lifecycle. COMAN connects teams, information and processes on one central platform, creating transparency across every project phase.

WARUM COMAN

Excel Is No Longer Enough

Project information is scattered across different systems, spreadsheets, supplier portals and status reports. Teams work with different versions of the data, and critical information often reaches stakeholders too late.

Typical Challenges:

 
  • Data silos
  • Disconnected systems and processes
  • High coordination effort
  • Lack of transparency
  • Delayed decision-making
Projektmanagement wird immer komplizierter, Software-Landschaften immer größer.

Project teams and suppliers rely on more and more software tools, yet these systems rarely work together.

FAQ

How does COMAN support project management in plant engineering?

COMAN provides full visibility into project progress, open issues, schedules and responsibilities. All project stakeholders work from a shared data foundation and maintain a clear overview of every project phase.

We already use project management tools. Why COMAN?

COMAN starts where schedules and spreadsheets reach their limits: execution. Your existing project plans remain in place, while COMAN makes progress visible directly on plans and drawings and keeps open issues, checklists and acceptance processes aligned across all stakeholders.

How can open issues and defects be managed efficiently in plant engineering projects?

Open issues can be captured on mobile devices, assigned to responsible parties and tracked through to completion. This significantly simplifies coordination between project management, suppliers and installation teams.

Is COMAN suitable for international plant engineering projects?

Yes. COMAN enables seamless collaboration across locations, connecting project teams, suppliers and service providers while providing transparency into the current project status at all times.

How does COMAN support commissioning activities?

COMAN helps teams centrally manage punch lists, inspections, checklists and open items. This allows risks to be identified early and commissioning activities to be managed with full transparency.

Can COMAN document FAT and SAT processes?

Yes. Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), approvals and acceptance procedures can be documented in a structured and fully traceable way.

Where is our data stored, and ss on-premises deployment available?

Both options are available. COMAN can be hosted in ISO 27001-certified German data centers with SSL encryption, daily backups and GDPR compliance. Alternatively, COMAN can be deployed entirely on your own infrastructure. For security-critical projects, an on-premises deployment is often the preferred option.

Which project phases does COMAN cover?

COMAN supports projects throughout the entire lifecycle, from planning and pre-assembly to installation, commissioning and final acceptance on a single platform.

How quickly can we get started?

Within the first week, COMAN is configured to fit your processes and your team receives initial training. From there, you begin working on a live project while our experts support you with seven weeks of on-the-job training and project model optimization. The entire onboarding process is completed within eight weeks.

Can COMAN be integrated with SAP and existing systems?

Yes. Through the COMAN API, data can be exchanged with ERP, BI and ticketing systems. Project schedules from Microsoft Project and Excel can also be imported. For SAP integrations, we assess your existing setup and recommend the most suitable interfaces based on your requirements.
