Efficient Planning of Building Automation and Electrotechnical Systems

With EPLAN electrical engineering design software you can rely on a continuous and consistent database that goes far beyond just the engineering processes – along your entire value chain.

Public buildings, office complexes, airports, shopping centers: The planning of systems for monitoring, security, control, regulation and optimization is an important component of efficient and resource-saving building operation. Use the solutions of the EPLAN platform to benefit from the advantages of efficient interdisciplinary engineering processes.

Processes

From Initial Design to Digital Twin

The engineering process in building automation usually starts with the basic design of the technical automation of a building. The next step is the definition of the required devices and the automation technology in the I&C diagram. The data collected here is then used in the course of the project for calculations and as a guideline for the project. With a powerful tool like EPLAN electrical design software, you now have 3D computer aided engineering, digital data and consistency.

Advantages

Interdisciplinary Engineering According to Established Standards and Guidelines

EPLAN is your global partner with many years of experience in the field of technical automation. Our solutions are open for interdisciplinary connections to standard interfaces as well as for integration into your IT system landscapes. It goes without saying that all current standards such as DIN EN ISO 16484-3 and guidelines such as VDI 3814 for building services engineering are complied with.

Intelligent Planning for Logical I&C Diagrams

EPLAN Preplanning has import functions which facilitate the transfer of data from upstream planning phases. Intelligent macro projects and templates automate the creation of logical I&C plans that support downstream engineering processes. The automated creation of data point lists, material lists and bills of materials considerably simplifies price and cost calculations. EPLAN users are automatically supported by the system, from structure to signal identification.

Building Design with the Digital Twin

The data added along the entire engineering process is available via the intelligent platform technology right through to production, making change management much easier. The digital twins of control cabinets and distributors can also be implemented in the 3D model for further building planning.
