Structured data collection
Information about machines or plant systems as well as process and instrumentation data can be collected and managed in a structured way. This helps ensures clarity and transparency, even for complex systems.
Data imports
Import data from external tabular sources and seamlessly process it in Eplan Preplanning. The data can then easily be transferred for use in detail planning.
Information for materials procurement
Quickly create initial data sheets or specifications so that materials procurement can get off to a structured start in the preplanning phase.
Graphical entry
Enter graphical representations of plant systems or machine overviews as well as process and instrumentation diagrams. The clear visualization of your first planning steps will be carried over into downstream project phases.
Basic preplanning data
Plan the basic information early in the process such as signal data, piping data or wiring data for better orientation within the project.
Building automation
You can also use Eplan Preplanning software as a solution for building automation, including basic automation design for climate control systems.
First glance into integrated digital preplanning

Building automation - heat generation
Control schematics and I/O overviews play a central role in the basic engineering. Creating these documents and managing the associated data with EPLAN Preplanning enables visualization of control systems at an early stage. This improves the quality of engineering through consistent data handling.

Building automation - Ventilation unit
Control schematics and I/O overviews play a central role in the basic engineering. Creating these documents and managing the associated data with EPLAN Preplanning enables visualization of control systems at an early stage. This improves the quality of engineering through consistent data handling.

Data import
By integrating planning and engineering data from Excel, designers create a uniform data source. This eliminates the need for manual data entry and generally shortens project times through centralized data handling.

Data sheet
Within Eplan Preplanning, engineering data can be visualized in several different formats. Data sheets can be defined individually and reports are generated fully automatically. High-quality and comprehensive system documentation can be produced without additional effort.

Machine & plant layouts
The creation of graphical layouts increases workflow efficiency, as plant structures can be visualized and documented at an early stage. This facilitates better coordination between project participants by handling project data in one continuous system, from basic right through to detail engineering.

P&ID (Process and Instrumentation Diagram)
Creating P&IDs with Eplan Preplanning streamlines the entire engineering workflow. Data entered and managed by process designers can be continuously transferred to detail engineering, resulting in more efficient project execution.

Plant object overview
Structures are key in plant engineering. Eplan Preplanning supports the project engineer with data-based management that reduces manual effort and enables flexible reports of the plant structure for documentation purposes.
