Maritime
Your Engineering Standard for Shipbuilding and Port Facilities
Digitalisation, standardisation and automation are all trends that no industrial sector can evade right now. This also holds true for the maritime industry and for planning equipment and systems. Integrated electrical engineering design and powerful ECAD software can significantly advance automation at your company. EPLAN offers integrated engineering solutions that give you effective opportunities for increasing efficiencies across all your processes, from preplanning to service and maintenance – in the safety of harbours as well as on the high seas.
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.
Digitised Processes – from Engineering to Manufacturing and Maintenance
EPLAN offers you the possibility to design, display and document your ship‘s entire operation technology, including P&ID, HVAC and the electrical engineering within your system landscape. This integrated data basis lets you depict a fully functional digital twin – from single components to the whole ship. Furthermore, we support you in seamlessly integrating new systems into existing structures, making overall processes more consistent and more efficient.

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.
