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.
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.
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. Use EPLAN in various engineering disciplines – for fluid power engineering, electrical engineering as well as for 3D designs.
Continuous Systems and Integration Solutions
With standardised integrations to common ERP and PDM systems such as SAP and PRO.FILE, you rely on continuous digitisation of your processes. The uniform, central administration of document sets for current versions, revisions and even your new building and conversion business enable you to act and react more quickly, giving you considerable competitive advantages.
Operators Digitally Networked in the Cloud
And your customers, the operators of the machines and plant systems, can be integrated into the digital document workflow with the EPLAN Cloud.
We Support You With Your Digitisation Projects
We’re happy to provide you with methodical support to implement your digitisation strategy. Reap the benefits of our experienced EPLAN consultants’ many years of practical experience, consulting know-how, and the methodology of EPLAN Experience.
Our Solutions for Machinery and Plant Construction
Uniform documentation according to common standards such as IEC 81346 and IEC 61355 enables you to set up a modular construction kit. From series to series, design and order processing always comprises a portion of volume production and special construction.
Integrated Electrical Engineering
Generate your circuits and schematics using EPLAN Electric P8. Thanks to macro technology, you create a solid foundation for standardising your processes.
For Your Fluid Power Designs
You can also realise your fluid power designs on EPLAN Platform and take advantage of the sophisticated macro technology.
Virtual Panel Building in 3D
Design and construct control cabinets, switchgear systems and power distribution systems for power supplies in 3D.
Create the Digital Twin via Configuration
With EPLAN Engineering Configuration (EEC), you can realise an integrated and automated engineering workflow in machine building. Utilise the data from an upstream configurator or a database – then you can use EEC to generate schematics, fluid power documentation, 3D control cabinet assemblies, bills of materials and further manufacturing documentation.
