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.

Processes

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.
