Networked engineering across all disciplines
Eplan unifies a variety of engineering disciplines including electrical engineering and fluid power engineering, wire harness design, and building automation on an integrated platform with a uniform data foundation. This reduces interfaces, helps prevent mistakes and increases the design quality across the entire product development process.
Scalable solutions for every company size
Whether locally or worldwide – Eplan can be scaled flexibly. Automotive groups rely on centralized templates and macro libraries to establish consistent engineering standards around the globe.
Modularization and designing to comply with standards
Consistent standardization and the re-use of modules help to reduce development times and enable the efficient implementation of platform concepts – even for model variants and vehicles produced in series.
Seamless integration into ERP, PDM and MES Systems
With Eplan, engineering data can reliably be integrated into company processes. The things this makes possible include the automatic creation of bills of materials for commercial processes, transparent change tracking, and secure documentation and product data management processes.
Eplan enables standardized engineering
Eplan enables standardized and automated engineering for automation technology with schematics and/or project templates and pre-defined global data standards. The high level of automation depth reduces routine work and significantly accelerates project creation.
Digital twin for manufacturing and maintenance
Eplan gives you a digital foundation for manufacturing, conversion and operation of your plant systems in production facilities – including simulations, maintenance and retrofitting. It is ideal for Industry 4.0 strategies in the automotive environment.
Our products and solutions help standardize and automate engineering and manufacturing processes.
