Getting a Flying Start with Engineering Solutions for Manufacturing
Hardly any other industry is facing such enormous upheavals as the automobile industry. The energy transformation, new mobility concepts and the technological demands for vehicles of the future mean that automobile manufacturing is facing new challenges. Each new technical development in automation technology increases the demands on manufacturing. At the same time, cost pressures are increasing along the entire value chain. With our solutions, you can optimise the entire value chain in vehicle manufacturing. Many car companies and automotive suppliers have been relying on EPLAN’s powerful solutions for years.
EPLAN: Your Partner from Engineering to Maintenance
Automobile production is characterised by a close partnership between vehicle manufacturers, as plant operators, and suppliers of plant systems, machine engineering companies and panel builders. EPLAN offers both sides decisive added value for more efficiency: from concept planning, standardisation and detail planning, to manufacturing integration for plant system manufacturers and supplier companies as well as for plant system documentation. All stages of the vehicle manufacturing processes are supported: we make it possible for you to efficiently plan and design production systems, whether it be in the press shop, the paint shop, the body shop or in assembly. The resulting documentation is the decisive prerequisite for trouble-free plant operations, maintenance and servicing.
Integrated Standards for the Entire Supplier Chain
EPLAN solutions ensure that all of your engineering data comes from a single source – from preplanning to manufacturing. This enables integrated connections to standard interfaces and integration into existing processes and system landscapes. That is why a number of automotive companies rely on EPLAN as the standard software for their entire supplier chain.

Our Solutions for Automotive
High-quality plant documentation that depicts the reality on the ground is crucial for every plant operator. In turn, plant system manufacturers and panel builders require efficient tools for planning plant systems and supporting their own manufacturing processes. We offer you all of this from a single source.
Integrated Electrical Engineering
Aside from delivering options for creating electrical schematics, EPLAN Electric P8 also offers integrated data and engineering concepts based on EPLAN Platform. Direct interfaces to related disciplines such as fluid power engineering and control technology facilitate project planning and maintaining as-built documentation.
For Your Fluid Power Designs
Electrical engineering and fluid power engineering are directly interdependent – planning them in a common software solution is thus an important aspect for comprehensive documentation. With EPLAN Fluid, we offer you an integrated fluid-technical solution from EPLAN Platform with a common database for electrical engineering.
Virtual Panel Building in 3D
Plant system concepts and maintenance concepts of the future require a new perspectives. EPLAN Pro Panel delivers the digital twin of control cabinets and other enclosures, enabling plant personnel to quickly orient themselves within the system and identify components. For plant system manufacturers, EPLAN Pro Panel offers a platform for project planning with in-depth product integration based on detailed documentation and direct integrations to production machines.
