Data continuity, planning security and optimised processes

Higher plant system availability, more planning security

Three things are important to the planners and operators of process plant systems: plant system security, equipment loads and system availability. Operators of oil and gas plants can noticeably increase plant availability with efficient engineering because Eplan engineering design software and solutions significantly optimize cooperation between engineering and operations.

Based on integrated engineering software, your automation systems are compatible with operator objectives defined in the front-end engineering and development phase (FEED).

Further, thanks to Eplan’s integrated approach, you have a digital “as is” description of the plant systems, which ensures planning security in the event of operational modifications or load changes.

Process optimization through planning

Eplan offers you specific solutions for optimizing processes and workflows in the oil and gas industry. Data consistency and openness for standard interfaces and systems enable interdisciplinary and cross-company documentation whose benefits extend far beyond the engineering processes. Does your project documentation have to be created in different languages and adapted to different standards and working environments?

Eplan offers you all this from a single source and supports you with software, training and consulting services. Transparent and complete engineering documentation speeds up commissioning and automatic updates of all evaluations ensure actual documentation. These in turn provide planning security and support you even if changes are made to plant operation.

Trouble-free and reliable manufacturing

Digitalization is presenting new challenges for all industries. Megatrends such as globalization, an ageing society and personalized medicine also define the strategic fields of action for pharmaceutical companies. Research and production processes in the pharmaceutical industry are complex. Every facility has numerous systems and components that must run smoothly to ensure trouble-free production, reduce costs and shorten the time to market.

In order to keep up with current developments, flexible structures and integrated processes are needed to allow pharmaceutical companies to quickly react to changing requirements along their entire product life cycles. This is exactly where you can rely on Eplan as a strong partner.

Current documentation for your plant system’s entire life cycle

When laboratory benchmarks and simulations enter the concrete system planning phase, Eplan is there for you. With us you will pass through all engineering steps without media discontinuity in accordance with the appropriate regulations and standards and implement them across disciplines. This also applies to adjustments and expansion plans during operation. The decisive factors here are integrated plant system concepts, a high degree of standardization in engineering and complete and accurate documentation of entire plant systems.

The prerequisites for documentation in conformity with the rules are firmly anchored in Eplan solutions: Criteria such as the colour coding of process media, a uniform representation of symbols, measuring points and DTs are handled automatically with Eplan.

Eplan also automatically updates all evaluations, so that your entire plant documentation is always up-to-date throughout the entire life cycle of the plant - for security during audits and certifications.

Profitable growth through efficient engineering

The current trend of a circular economy is challenging chemical companies to develop products that are recyclable or that support recycling concepts. Understanding the needs of customers along the entire value chain, developing appropriate solutions and using the generated added value for profitable growth are all crucial for ensuring long-term success in the chemical industry. Digital innovations are extremely helpful, such as showing essential links of the value chain using a digital twin.

Eplan delivers integrated system solutions with its affiliates like Rittal.

The digital twin as the centrepiece of your process optimization

With Eplan you optimize all steps in engineering and thus noticeably shorten the time-to-market of your products. The digital twin - the result of integrated and continuously enriched data - brings advantages that go far beyond pure engineering. It also offers added value for commercial, administrative and demanding technical processes.

The Eplan software is interdisciplinary and covers all areas without media discontinuity, including process engineering, process control engineering, fluid engineering and electrical engineering. Benefit from a smooth workflow all the way through to PLC programming, and find all this in the digital twin, which comes to a close in Rittal enclosure construction.

Interfaces to your ERP, PDM and special process automation systems enable Eplan to create seamless, cross-company workflows that support the process design of your plant management software.

Efficient engineering for uninterrupted plant operations

The world’s limited resources make expert and sustainable water and wastewater management systems an absolute necessity. Aside from environmental aspects, this industry must master numerous technical and economic challenges.

Efficient engineering plays an important role in secure water supplies and wastewater management: data continuity and a high degree of standardization simplify the introduction of new technologies.

Further, it also makes it possible to achieve uninterrupted plant system operations and to coordinate teams throughout a company.
