Machinery and Plant Construction
Your Partner for Standardized Engineering Around the Globe
Structuring the database, reusing subprojects, getting started in paperless and industrialized manufacturing – digitalization brings a variety of trends and challenges in its wake that are affecting machine and plant system construction. Daily business is moving at a much faster pace with tighter time restraints and increased global competition. At the same time, customers are demanding more individualized projects all the way to mass customization. So, how are companies in machine and plant system engineering handling this customization in a quick, cost-effective manner while keeping up with production? EPLAN is the answer, and we are here supporting you with integrated engineering software and services to support your value chain.
Step-By-Step Automation for Digitalized Order Processing
Integrated control and technical designs and a powerful ECAD platform form the professional basis for the step-by-step automation of processes in engineering and production. A modular product structure with a comprehensive handling of variants and options is the key to the configuration and generation of all production documentation. With EPLAN, you can rely on an electrical engineering design software platform that you can integrate into the overall processes of your order processing. Based on your product configurator, SAP material lists for orders or functional descriptions, you can create your production documentation fully automatically.
Your Engineering Standard for All Fields of Application
EPLAN offers you a global industrial standard for engineering. Your company will benefit from this, whether you are a small company, an SME or a global system integrator. EPLAN supports different working methods - manual in dialogue, partially automated, fully automated or fully externally via the web. Use EPLAN in different engineering disciplines - for fluid power engineering, electrical engineering and 3D design.
Continuous Systems and Integration Solutions
With standardized integrations to common ERP and PDM systems such as SAP and PRO.FILE, you can rely on continuous digitalization of your processes. The uniform, central administration of document sets for current versions, revisions and even your new build and refurbishment company enables you to act and react more quickly, giving you considerable competitive advantages.
Operators Digitally Networked in the Cloud
Your customers, the operators of the machines and installations, can be integrated into the digital document workflow with the EPLAN Cloud.
We Support You With Your Digitalization Projects
We are happy to offer you methodical support in the implementation of your digitalization strategy. Benefit from the years of practical experience of our experienced EPLAN consultants, the consulting knowledge and the methodology of EPLAN Experience.
Our Solutions for Machinery and Plant Construction
Uniform documentation according to common standards such as IEC 81346 and IEC 61355 makes it possible to set up a modular construction kit. From series to series, the design and order processing is always part of the volume production and the special construction.
Integrated Electrical Engineering
Generate your circuits and schematics using EPLAN Electric P8. The macro technology allows you to create a solid basis for standardizing your processes.
For Your Fluid Power Designs
You can also implement your fluid power designs on the EPLAN platform and use the advanced macro technology.
Virtual Panel Building in 3D
Design and construction of control cabinets, switching systems and power distribution boards for power supplies in 3D.
Create the Digital Twin via Configuration
With EPLAN Engineering Configuration (EEC) you achieve a continuous and automated engineering workflow in mechanical engineering. Use the data from an upstream configurator or database - this enables you to create circuit diagrams, fluid power documentation, 3D enclosures, bills of materials and other production documents with EEC.
