The founder
Giuliano Pioldi
He built P‑Atlas end to end — the vendor exporters, the causal engine, the live connector, the product itself. What follows is the record, stated the way the product states things: plainly, with every claim checkable.
The work
The clearest credential is the product.
Every layer of P‑Atlas is one engineer's code. The exporters that read Siemens TIA and Schneider projects. The parser that resolved 17,167 entities and 1,900 tags from a real production program. The causal engine that holds 22,102 relationships between them. The live layer that speaks S7, S7CommPlus and Modbus TCP — read-only, with writes that fail closed. The guarded write path that proves every edit compiles in real TIA before anyone trusts it. And the 167 automated tests that hold the whole thing down.
One person carried the system from vendor file to answer. That matters beyond effort: P‑Atlas sells the ability to hold an entire machine's logic in one head — and it was built by someone who does.
The record
Facts, not adjectives.
A founder page earns exactly the trust of its weakest claim. So this one carries only what can be checked.

Why this problem
The problem sits between two disciplines. So does he.
Reading a factory's ladder logic is a controls engineer's craft, learned on plant floors over years. Turning 22,102 relationships into an engine that answers why is an algorithms problem — the kind competition programming trains for. Most teams have one skill or the other. P‑Atlas exists because the same person spent years in both.
The idea did not come from a whiteboard. It came from watching the one engineer who could read the program walk out of the plant at the end of a shift — and knowing what that head carried. P‑Atlas is that ability, made durable.
