50% faster designing with EPLAN macros

Use EPLAN to reduce intelligent maintenance project planning effort

At EPLAN GmbH& Co. KG, one of the main products has become established: EPLAN Electric P8 has established itself as the industry standard for electrical design. The typical project planning for a classic switch cabinet including all control modules takes approx. 58 hours. This is exactly where EPLAN comes in to enable time optimisation of this project planning effort by up to 50%. The tool supports you in plant design, from end-to-end planning up to production, commissioning, maintenance and repair. 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 the EPLAN applications and thus serves as an integrated, web-based data platform for providing up-to-date device data for direct use in project planning with EPLAN software solutions.
