Machinery and Plant Construction

Your Partner for Standardised Engineering Around the Globe

Structuring the database, more re-use of subprojects, getting started in paperless and industrialised manufacturing – digitisation brings a variety of trends and challenges in its wake that are naturally also affecting machine and plant system construction. The daily ordering business is getting much faster and time pressures are rising, not least due to international competitors. At the same time, customers are demanding increasingly more individualised projects through to mass customisation. How are companies in machine and plant system engineering handling this individuality quickly and cost-efficiently at time expenditures comparable to volume production? EPLAN is here supporting you with integrated engineering solutions along your value chain.

Processes

Step-By-Step Automation for Digitised Order Processing

Integrated control and technical designs and a powerful ECAD platform form the professional foundation for step-by-step automation of processes in engineering and in manufacturing. A modular product structure with comprehensive handling of variants and options is the key to configuration and generating all manufacturing documentation. With EPLAN, you can rely on an engineering platform that you can integrate into the overall processes of your order processing. Based on your product configurator, SAP bills of materials for orders or functional descriptions, you can create your manufacturing documentation completely automatically.

Advantages

Your Engineering Standard for All Fields of Application

EPLAN offers you a global industrial standard for engineering. Your company will benefit from it regardless of whether you’re a small company, an SME or a global system integrator. EPLAN supports a variety of different work methods – manual in dialogue, partially automated, fully automated or completely controlled externally via the web.
