EPLAN Electric P8

Thanks to macro technology, EPLAN Electric P8 provides a foundation for standardising and also for further automating your processes.

Planning electrical engineering is a complex field of topics, particularly as several people are often working in various disciplines on the same project. Electrical engineering data must also be usable for other departments. At the same time, electrical engineering is always under time pressures, must deliver on time and always keep an eye on incurred costs. EPLAN offers you an integrated software solution for efficient electrical engineering.

Success for industrial companies is strongly related to their work in maintenance and servicing, which prevents machine and system failures and enables the best possible utilisation and availability of plant systems over their entire service life. EPLAN offers you integrated solutions for digitising your processes.

To ensure cost-effective engineering processes, architects, engineers, planning offices and construction companies need a transparent foundation of information and efficient digital tools. EPLAN solutions make it possible for you to work in an interdisciplinary way with integrated data for building automation.

The term automated engineering combines configuration with engineering. In practice, this means automating engineering processes, integrating these processes and connecting them with configuration processes in sales, order processing and directly to engineering. EPLAN offers you solutions for implementing automated engineering in your company.

The daily ordering business is getting much faster and time pressures are rising, no least due to international competitors. At the same time, customers are demanding increasingly more individualised projects through to mass customisation. EPLAN is here supporting you with integrated engineering solutions along your value chain.

You can optimise and industrialise your processes in control and switchgear system engineering using EPLAN’s engineering solutions in conjunction with Rittal’s system and automation expertise. Consistent data is the key to success here. We support you in saving both time and costs, in avoiding errors and in increasing your productivity over the long term.

Hardly any other industry is facing such enormous upheavals as the automobile industry. Many car companies and automotive suppliers have been relying on EPLAN’s powerful solutions for years. With our solutions, you can optimise the entire value chain in vehicle manufacturing.

EPLAN offers you solutions for engineering the control systems of machines and plant systems, supporting you in the creation, production, further processing and packaging of agricultural products into foods and beverages.

Code compliance, ensuring supply, optimising load distribution: the energy sector has big challenges to face. EPLAN offers you optimal solutions for a broad field of applications from energy management to plant system engineering.

Digitalisation, standardisation and automation are all trends that no industrial sector can evade right now. This also holds true for the maritime industry. Integrated electrical engineering design and powerful ECAD software from EPLAN can significantly advance automation at your company.

Planning monitoring, control, regulation and optimisation systems is an important part of technical facility management for all sorts of buildings. With EPLAN you can rely on a continuous and consistent database that goes far beyond just the engineering processes.

The SOFIA research aircraft has now been operating for 8 years, enabling close observation of space by recording infrared radiation. The complex electrical engineering of this unique telescope has so far been available only on paper and in the form of PDF documents. The team of engineers and technicians at the German SOFIA Institute (DSI) at the University of Stuttgart is now using an EPLAN solution, precisely tailored to the special requirements of fundamental astronomical research.

The majority of the 4,600 employees at KWS Saat SE are involved in the development of new seed varieties. The complex machines and systems required for seed processing and breeding are also manufactured in-house using the EPLAN Platform – beginning with P&I diagrams which are designed using the Preplanning module. The underlying principle is consistent, cross-disciplinary design processes from mechanical and process engineering through to fluid power and electrical engineering.

Good things sometimes come from chance events. Employees from AL-KO THERM GMBH were visiting an EPLAN stand at a trade fair and by chance came across EPLAN Engineering Configuration (EEC) – the system that enables simple and consistent configuration of mechatronics systems. They now use EEC worldwide as a configurator and benefit from significantly simpler instrumentation and control (I&C) engineering.

Jeddah, Mecca, Benin City. These are some of the locations where personnel from Hanseatic Power Solutions GmbH (HPS) have recently installed switchgear systems. Many systems are also travelling the high seas, i.e. on ships. Hanseatic Power Solutions (HPS) reckon on just 6–8 weeks to design and construct highly complex switchgears – and they’re often even faster. This is possible only by electrical design being as consistent as possible and highly automated. In addition to EPLAN Electric P8 and EPLAN Pro Panel, HPS are also using the “Copper” module and, just recently, the new EPLAN Cogineer.
