Maritime
Your engineering standard in the maritime industry
EPLAN offers the possibility to design and visualise the complete operating technology, process engineering, air conditioning and ventilation technology, as well as the electrical engineering within a data-based system landscape. This makes it possible to map the complete digital twin - from the individual component to the entire ship or plant. With end-to-end engineering solutions, EPLAN offers you effective options for increasing efficiency across processes.
Mastering the challenges of the maritime industry
The maritime industry is facing major challenges such as decarbonisation, sustainability, and digitalisation.
We offer you tried-and-tested engineering solutions to automate and efficiently organise processes. With standardised and always up-to-date data, we optimise planning, operation, maintenance, and documentation, from ship operating technology and offshore infrastructures to port logistics and hydraulic engineering. Find out how you too can benefit from EPLAN.

Find out how companies from the maritime sector use our solutions to meet the current technical and economic challenges and improve their company’s competitiveness.
Wire Design and Integrated System Landscapes
With EPLAN, you can rely on an integrated database that goes far beyond just the engineering processes – to encompass your entire value chain. From designing cruise ships, constructing yachts and even transport and special engineering: EPLAN offers shipyards and shipping companies worldwide support in integrating their processes into existing PDM system landscapes.
Using EPLAN, businesses supplying shipowners can create integrated product documentation for designing ship wiring and piping for equipment and systems – from the initial design with P&I diagrams and single-line wiring design, to integrating and visualising production status and wire routing.
Maritime industry 4.0: Standards for Shipbuilding
Standardisation is the key for flexible automation concepts. Whether it’s the Module Type Package (MTP) open data standard or our activities in the Marine Equipment and Systems working group – our goal is the fully automatic integration of plant systems and components into higher-level systems.
Marine Equipment and Systems
As a member of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA), EPLAN participates in the Marine Equipment and Systems working group. Together with numerous companies from the automation industry, we work for you on standardising machine-platform communication. Our goal is the fully automatic integration of plant systems and components into higher-level systems.
EPLAN – Your Partner for Integrated Solutions
Our goal is maximum efficiency and interconnectivity across all engineering disciplines, and all systemic and geographic boundaries. Companies that want to help shape the digital transformation need allies. Working with Rittal, we automate and industrialise control and switchgear system engineering and manufacturing. Working with a variety of industrial partners, we design interfaces and standards for integrated, cross-project and cross-company processes. As a member of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA), we are also active participants in working groups across various industries.

Schematic Documentation for Port Facilities
Port and shipyard facilities often cover enormous areas – which is a challenge for both planning and in terms of servicing and maintenance. This makes unambiguous and detailed schematics documentation all the more important. The availability of current revision statuses and as-built documentation also plays an important role. Cloud-based systems can offer unique advantages in this arena: software-independent documentation is available in the cloud for all stakeholders – easily called up on a web browser. Access rights can of course be securely defined across projects. Service technicians, for instance, can make a note of changes in the schematics on a tablet computer out on the port site. Just a few seconds later, the schematics can be double-checked in the engineering office and then updated.
Control and Switchgear System Production
Get started with your end-to-end processes now – with software solutions for virtually designing your control cabinets in 3D and for fully automatic wire processing and efficient wiring in manufacturing. Cloud-based maintenance scenarios open up new horizons in service and maintenance. You can also benefit from the unique added value that EPLAN and Rittal can offer you together – with pooled expertise and optimally coordinated solutions.
Our Solutions for the Maritime Industry
The key for integrated process documentation lies in the all-encompassing database. EPLAN therefore offers you software solutions from a single source. Discover our EPLAN Platform, perfectly tailored cloud services and seamless integrations to cross-company and cross-process system landscapes.
Integrated Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering for designing plant systems, from a ship’s engine to entire offshore platforms: EPLAN Electric P8 is the ECAD tool of choice.
Integration into Your System Landscapes
We offer shipyards, shipping companies and port operators comprehensive PLM integrations – also into existing system landscapes.
For Your Fluid Power Designs
EPLAN offers a stand-alone solution for fluid-power and hydraulic engineering that meets all the established codes and common standards.
Virtual Panel Building in 3D
Control and switchgear system engineering for all application areas in maritime industries and beyond – EPLAN offers you all of this and more in 3D.
Share and comment your Schematic Projects
Keep an eye on your projects – no matter where you are. You can use the redlining function to keep all EPLAN Project documentation up to date in the cloud.
Integrated Digital Preplanning
EPLAN Preplanning enables you to save engineering data early in the preplanning process. This data can include actuators and sensors for a plant system, machine or building.
