Integrated planning of equipment and systems

From designing cruise ships, constructing yachts and even transport and special engineering: Eplan offers shipyards and shipping companies worldwide support in integrating their engineering design processes into existing PDM system landscapes.

Digitalization, standardization and automation are all trends that no industry sector can currently escape. This also applies to the maritime industry and to the planning of equipment and systems. Integrated electrical CAD software and engineering design solutions can significantly advance automation in your company.

Eplan offers integrated computer aided design software and engineering services that provide you with effective ways to increase efficiency in all your processes, from preliminary planning to service and maintenance - in port safety as well as on the high seas.

That’s how customers in the maritime industry benefit from working with Eplan

"Our version of EEC does much more than 'just' configuration. It is used for all control processes, and automatically generates schematics as well as bills of material in I&C design."

Eplan – your partner for integrated solutions

Our goal is maximum efficiency and interconnectivity across all engineering disciplines, and all systemic and geographic boundaries. Companies that want to help shape the digital transformation need allies.

Working with Rittal, we automate and industrialise control and switchgear system engineering and manufacturing. Working with a variety of industrial partners, we design interfaces and standards for integrated, cross-project and cross-company processes.

As a member of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA), we are also active participants in working groups across various industries.

Wire design and integrated system landscapes

With Eplan you can rely on an integrated database that goes far beyond the engineering processes and covers your entire value-added chain. From the design of cruise liners and the construction of yachts to transport and special-purpose machine engineering: Eplan offers shipyards and shipping companies worldwide support in integrating their processes into existing PDM system landscapes.

Companies that supply shipping companies can use Eplan with 3D computer aided engineering to create consistent product documentation for the design of ship wiring and piping for devices and systems - from the initial design with P&ID plans and single-line wiring planning to the integration and visualization of the production status and wire routing.

Maritime industry 4.0: standards for shipbuilding

Marine equipment and systems

As a member of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA), Eplan participates in the Marine Equipment and Systems working group. Together with numerous companies from the automation industry, we work for you on standardizing machine-platform communication.

Our goal is the fully automatic integration of plant systems and components into higher-level systems.

Schematic documentation for port facilities

Port and shipyard facilities often cover enormous areas – which is a challenge for both planning and in terms of servicing and maintenance. This makes unambiguous and detailed schematics documentation all the more important. The availability of current revision statuses and as-built documentation also plays an important role. Cloud-based systems can offer unique advantages in this arena: software-independent documentation is available in the cloud for all stakeholders – easily called up on a web browser.

Access rights can of course be securely defined across projects. Service technicians, for instance, can make a note of changes in the schematics on a tablet computer out on the port site. Just a few seconds later, the schematics can be double-checked in the engineering office and then updated.

Control and switchgear system production

Get started with your end-to-end processes now – with software solutions for virtually designing your control cabinets in 3D and for fully automatic wire processing and efficient wiring in manufacturing. Cloud-based maintenance scenarios open up new horizons in service and maintenance. You can also benefit from the unique added value that Eplan and Rittal can offer you together – with pooled expertise and optimally coordinated solutions.
