EPLAN and readycables for cable assembly with connectors.

50% faster designing with EPLAN macros

Reduce project planning effort for intelligent maintenance with EPLAN
At EPLAN GmbH & Co KG, one of the main products: EPLAN Electric P8 has established itself as the industry standard for electrical design. A typical project planning effort for a classic control cabinet including all control modules takes around 58 hours. This is precisely where EPLAN comes in to optimise this project planning effort by up to 50%. The tool supports you in system project planning from end-to-end planning through to production, commissioning, servicing and maintenance. Under the motto "efficient engineering", further applications for machine, plant and enclosure construction are also being developed, such as eBUILD, a cloud-based solution from EPLAN, or the EPLAN Data Portal. This is an online platform for downloading digital product data for EPLAN applications and thus serves as an integrated, web-based data platform for the provision of current device data for direct use in project planning with EPLAN software solutions.
