"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.

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.
