EPLAN Harness proD
Cabling in 3D
Use EPLAN Harness proD to efficiently design and document your cabling on 3D mechanical models – the software allows you to combine your mechanical and electrotechnical designs. Optimise and digitalise typical cabling workflows, including documentation for preconfigured cable assembly.
EPLAN Harness proD for Your Areas of Application
Discover EPLAN Harness proD’s many varied application fields – including for your industry and engineering disciplines.
Wire Harness
Constructing and documenting wire harnesses can be viewed as a critical juncture at the interface of design and production. Working with a digital twin in wire harness development is worth the effort – for your company as well.
Automation Technology
Automation technology is used in all areas of technology for engineering machines and plant systems. With the solutions from EPLAN, you have an enormous range of functions at your fingertips for this discipline.
Electrical Engineering
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.
Machinery and Plant Construction
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.
Panel Building
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.
EPLAN Harness proD for Designing Wire Harness using the Digital Twin
With EPLAN Harness proD, you can enhance the digital twin with the relevant electrical engineering information early in the engineering process. This means the cabling and wire harness designs don’t depend on the availability of a mechanical prototype. The software is open to MCAD systems and can be seamlessly integrated into existing system landscapes.
The intuitive 3D environment makes it easy for you to design cabling and wire harnesses.
You define the routing paths and the automated routing of wires and cables.
The required manufacturing documentation can be created automatically, saving you time and increasing the quality of your documentation.
With the EPLAN Harness proD API development environment the doors to your individual further development are wide open. The development environment offers you an efficient possibility to implement your own required functionalities or automatic functions. With this individual customization in the core of EPLAN Harness proD you can optimize your engineering workflow specifically.
Faster task-based processes
Use of the overall solution is thus facilitated for all participants. Processing times, planning errors and training times can be reduced. Results are thus available faster and more economically.

EPLAN Harness proD in Practice
Learn from first-hand experience about how our customers and partners benefit from EPLAN Harness proD when creating cabling and wire harnesses and assembling digital twins.
Webcast with Voltabox AG
Efficiently and automatically creating and documenting cabling and wire harnesses is the topic of this joint webcast between EPLAN and Voltabox AG, a company specialised in developing and manufacturing modern lithium-ion battery systems. You can take a look at this exclusive video here.
At Electromobility’s Sweet Spot
When it comes to e-mobility, expert knowledge and a smart approach are what’s in demand. Voltabox AG, a supplier of modern lithium-ion battery systems, is fully exploiting the automation potential for cable and wire harness engineering using EPLAN Harness proD. Go to the user report.
Goal: Digitised representation of a wind turbine
Is it possible to use a computer to exactly determine the length of a wire harness being installed in the tower of a wind turbine, 120 metres in height, and connect it to the control cabinet in the nacelle? And can you increase efficiency while doing so? Yes, you can do both as the Nordex SE example shows.
The Digital Twin and Designing Wire Harnesses
Gartner says it. Deloitte says it. EPLAN says it, too: the digital twin is becoming the driving force of industrial production in the twenty-first century. Embedded into the megatrends of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things, the digital twin brings manufacturing companies significant advantages across the entire product life cycle.
Ten Good Reasons for Designing in 3D
The digital twin is gaining ground: according to a February 2019 study by Gartner, a global research and advisory firm, 75 per cent of companies surveyed are planning to use a digital twin within the next year. If the twin also includes electrical engineering information in 3D, your engineering will benefit greatly. EPLAN gives you ten good reasons.
