Panel Building
EPLAN offers automated electrical engineering software for panel building and switchgear manufacturing
In the entire control and switchgear engineering field, integrated process quality improvements are needed. EPLAN provides 3D computer aided engineering and customized solutions for your electrical design projects.
Digitalization poses numerous challenges for companies from all industries. Throughout the control and switchgear engineering field, time pressures determine the day-to-day business. Additionally, there are enormous cost concerns, such as a high proportion of fixed costs for enclosures, electrotechnical equipment, packaging and wages.
Value Creation With Combined Forces
Complete continuity and compatibility of data and systems are both the starting point and goal for integrated process optimization: from engineering, technical order preparation and material logistics through to manufacturing, assembly, provision and commissioning. Complete digitization begins with standardizing and modularizing your products. This foundation is used to create the digital twin as the starting point for automated manufacturing as well as maintenance and servicing. Together, EPLAN and Rittal offer you integrated concepts with the right consulting services, perfect software and machine and control cabinet systems.

Decreased Throughput Times
With our consulting services, you can rely on the necessary expertise to meet the process and technical requirements for control and switchgear system engineering with integrated systems and the right methodology for your company.
Increase Productivity - Reduce Costs
You can increase your productivity along the entire value chain by taking advantage of a high degree of digitization and centralizing your data management. With the system solutions from EPLAN and Rittal, you realize interdisciplinary cooperation, you reduce delivery times, you parallelize your production steps and also sustainably lowers costs. Taken together, this increases your competitiveness over the long term.
Our Solutions for Panel Building
EPLAN offers you integrated solutions for your engineering. The generated data is enriched step by step, from manufacturing to maintenance and servicing. Our affiliate Rittal offers system solutions for control cabinet enclosures, climate control systems and power distribution. Rittal also has the right solutions for automated enclosure and panel processing and fully automatic wire processing.
Integrated Electrical Engineering
Using EPLAN Electric P8, you can create your electrical engineering designs in a system that is consistent, integrated and fast. With detailed evaluations as an integral part of the project documentation, you can also supply downstream processes with all the necessary information from engineering.
For Your Fluid Power Designs
EPLAN Fluid is your engineering tool especially for designing and generating automatic documentation of valves and circuits for fluid technology systems including hydraulics, pneumatics, cooling and lubrication.
Virtual Panel Building in 3D
Automate your manufacturing processes – with EPLAN Pro Panel, you can create a 3D digital twin of a control cabinet, which provides you all the necessary data and information to comprehensively optimize your planning for control cabinet manufacturing.
Manual Assembly of Control Cabinets
EPLAN Smart Mounting provides step-by-step support for assembling control cabinets and equipping them with electrotechnical components.
Wired Intelligently
Using EPLAN Smart Wiring, you can visualize every step for wiring a control cabinet. Intelligent wiring becomes a reality by providing digital engineering data and project comparisons that are always up-to-date.
High Quality Data, Always Available
Efficient engineering requires a standardized and error-free database. With the EPLAN Data Portal, you have access to a multitude of high-quality device and component data from a continuously growing pool of manufacturers.
Create the Digital Twin via Configuration
As a producer of volume products from machine and plant system manufacturing, EPLAN Engineering Configuration saves you from having to manually create the control cabinet layout. Instead, you generate the digital twin in EPLAN Pro Panel based on a configuration. This solution works in any industry, no matter whether the control cabinet belongs to a machine, is located on a ship, is used in a building or is part of a LV/MV switchgear system.
