The benefits of automated engineering for machine building
- Working with a centrally maintained library of circuit templates increases the design speed and quality of current projects.
- The work time spent on electrical engineering is considerably reduced – often by more than half.
- All required documentation can be derived automatically and complies with current standards and customer specifications.
- New hires as well as less-experienced employees can be trained quickly.
Tips for your getting started in automated electrical design
- You identify circuits that are repeatedly used in your daily business and gradually create a library to manage these templates.
- Keep at it! Continue expanding your library. Motivate your co-workers to also use and expand the library.
- Define universal project templates and design rules based on current standards for all of your electrical engineering designs.
- Automatically create schematics for your first sub-projects: combine circuit templates with project data, then generate and add them to your Eplan project.

"We are already saving around 50% on pure enclosure wiring thanks to the combination of Eplan Smart Wiring and the Rittal Wire Terminal. Once everything has settled down and the projects have been planned accordingly, we expect to save up to 75%."

Use this Eplan software to automate your schematic creation
If you fully exploit the potential of your basic software, Eplan Electric P8 for instance, you already have a slew of options for standardising your electrical designs and automating parts of them.
Beyond this, the Eplan solution for automated engineering allows for the creation of configurators. This gives even non skilled workers the ability to generate sets of schematics, or even entire Eplan projects, just with a few clicks. We’re happy to assist you with this!
