Powerful Engineering Software for the Food Industry

Digitalization, standardization and automation are all trends that no industrial sector can avoid. This applies to the food and beverages industry as well as the planning of production systems and machines. Integrated planning of the control systems and powerful engineering software can make a decisive contribution to advancing automation at your company. With integrated engineering design software and solutions, EPLAN offers you effective possibilities for increasing efficiency across all processes along your value chain for food production.

Processes

P&I Diagrams and EI&C Technology for Creating Foodstuffs

EPLAN offers you electrical engineering software for the control systems of machines and plant systems, supporting you in the creation, production, further processing and packaging of agricultural products into foods and beverages. Food manufacturers use P&I diagrams to depict how various ingredients are processed to become end products. Machine and plant system manufacturers use EPLAN to generate the required electrical instrumentation and control (I&C) systems to help automate these processes. In the food industry, for instance, you benefit from efficient workflows that ensure high quality data and documentation while reducing your engineering costs. You can rely on an integrated foundation for your processes with EPLAN.

Advantages

Versatile Software and Integrated Systems

EPLAN solutions allow you to benefit from interdisciplinary solutions for your engineering with a high degree of data continuity. Create P&I diagrams and plans for your pneumatic systems and also for electronic controls. Standard interfaces enable connections to external systems and to import data from them. Creating a digital twin in 3D for panel building makes a lot of sense, particularly for stainless steel control cabinets. Benefit from the know-how of our affiliate Rittal and detailed product data for the food industry.
