EPLAN - More than electrical CAD:
The most powerful software for electrical design
Do you use a conventional CAD system to create schematics? We’d be happy to support you in taking the next step that goes beyond the use of ECAD: the use of EPLAN software. This would save lots of valuable working time in electrical engineering design and can even bolster your company’s ability to deliver in panel building.
Where is your panel building heading?
Let’s take this journey together!
Stressed out by last-minute changes in panel building?
This might sound familiar: your customer has requested control cabinets from you and the delivery date is set. Your co-workers are using CAD software to create the schematics. A bill of material has been given to procurement, and the production team has received a list of components, connections and terminals. Then your customer submits some last-minute changes. Now you have to make all the adjustments, ensure there are no mistakes and not lose the project! The delivery date is still the same – and your reputation as an excellent supplier is on the line.
From CAD to EPLAN: Smart schematic generation made easy
With the right type of ECAD software, this is a no-stress situation. It is true that your average CAD software can be used for a wide variety of technical designs. However, ECAD software is better for electrical engineering. EPLAN takes you a step even further, with many practical functions you can use to simplify your everyday work for creating schematics and beyond.
Traditional CAD software vs EPLAN software
Challenges: electrical engineering designs with general CAD software
- Create page by page: draw the schematics with CAD
- Manually enter changes on each and every page of the schematics
- Manually create and maintain lists: for components, device data, terminals, connection data and so on…
- Forward schematics and lists to various specialist departments
- Stay on top of the current status of all the files
⇒ Regular day-to-day tasks reduce time available for more complex design projects
Your benefits: electrical engineering designs with EPLAN
- All-in-one project: create the schematics, store the project data
- Easily integrate component data from hundreds of manufacturers into the project
- Use automated formatting for lists and forms
- Derive important documentation from the schematics with just a few clicks: for production, sales and project approvals
- Enter changes just once and apply those changes to the entire project
- Latest version of a project is always available
⇒ Less effort for your day-to-day work means more time for more important things
Six compelling reasons to switch from CAD to EPLAN software right now
It’s understandable that some companies are reluctant to change their familiar CAD systems. We want to make the journey from CAD to smart electrical design as simple as possible for you. In our free PDF, we show you why switching to EPLAN software will pay off for you and your company.
Overall project time, including design and panel building, reduced by 59%
A control panel manufacturing facility in the US reduces overall project time, including design and panel building, by 59% and reduces the burden of scaling its workforce when it implements a suite of EPLAN software to significantly improve its lean processes.
In addition, ADS significantly reduced the burden of scaling its workforce. In less than three years, the company went from five people to 18, which would not have been possible before EPLAN was implemented.
