Electrical Engineering: Simplifying Variant Designs
New tools and functions for control cabinet manufacturing
The design engineers at Konstruktionsbüro Becker (KBB) in Augsburg, Germany, develop and build complex panels and control cabinets for demanding clients in the specialised machinery construction industry. In recent months, the company has expanded the EPLAN Platform, which they’ve been using for a long time, by adding more tools and functions. They’ve now also simplified the designing of variants using EPLAN eBUILD.
One of the advantages of engineering platforms is that they don’t always have to be used in the same unvarying way. Instead, users can work with them to make step-by-step progress, such as in the direction of automated engineering. This is also true of the EPLAN Platform to a large extent, as shown by the example of the engineering design offices of Konstruktionsbüro Becker (KBB) in Augsburg. The family-run company – with Markus Becker in the first generation and Florian Becker in the second – has been focusing on sophisticated electrical engineering and control cabinet projects for almost 25 years.
