PlantStream has been successfully implemented at IFP Engineering Group, an engineering services company based in Malaysia.
We are pleased to announce that an in-depth user interview featuring the company has been published on our official website.
In this article, we spoke with Mr. Ragunath (Founder & Managing Director), Ms. Punitha (Piping Team Lead), and Mr. Srivatson (Project Engineer), who shared how PlantStream contributes to their digital transformation journey — improving efficiency and competitiveness during the FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) and Pre-FEED phases.

Founded over 25 years ago and headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, IFP Engineering Group delivers a wide range of engineering services across onshore and offshore oil & gas, FPSO, chemical plants, and carbon capture & storage (CCS) projects.
The company provides end-to-end solutions — from FEED and basic design to detailed design and construction management.
As part of its smart engineering strategy, IFP Engineering Group actively promotes digitalization and automation through AI, positioning these technologies as key drivers of productivity improvement.
Before PlantStream, 3D modeling and piping layout optimization were manually performed, requiring significant time and effort.
By leveraging PlantStream’s automated piping routing technology, IFP Engineering Group has dramatically reduced engineering man-hours and accelerated design timelines for FEED and Pre-FEED projects.
Key benefits achieved include:
Building on these results, the group plans to extend PlantStream usage to EPC phases and explore integration with other systems to further enhance design collaboration.
“PlantStream is a powerful tool that enables early and accurate cost estimation.Its automated MTO generation and layout capabilities allow management to make faster and more confident FID ( Final Investment Decision) decisions during the project lifecycle.”
— Mr. Ragunath, CEO / Managing Director, IFP Engineering Group
“Once we received the training, we realized how intuitive and easy to use it actually is. Even our drafters (no prior 3D CAD experience) were able to learn and start using it confidently within just a few days. It also made MTO extraction extremely fast, which was a huge benefit for us.”
— Ms. Punitha, Piping Team Lead, IFP Engineering Group
PlantStream® is a 3D CAD software that automates plant piping and equipment layout to significantly improve engineering productivity and quality.
Its rule-based automation enables rapid and accurate design generation — transforming conventional CAD operations into an intuitive, high-speed workflow.
Developed jointly with Chiyoda Corporation, PlantStream is widely adopted by leading EPC and engineering companies across the globe.
