Eplan Preplanning

Technical preplanning goes digital for electrical design projects

Eplan Preplanning enables you to save engineering data early in the preplanning process.

Eplan Preplanning: Plant structures, P&IDs and control schemes

Eplan Preplanning engineering design software enables you to save engineering data early in the preplanning process. This data can include actuators and sensors for a plant system, machine or building.

You can import data from external tabular sources and also enter plant system or machine overviews and graphical process and instrumentation diagrams. This allows you to quickly generate initial data sheets or specifications for materials procurement. You can also access the data collected in Eplan Preplanning to use in downstream planning phases in engineering.

With Eplan Preplanning, you can carry out initial planning tasks for process automation or automation technology in the engineering process on Eplan Platform. Collect important data such as the sensors and actuators for a plant system, machine or building.

Your added value for process automation

Structured data collection

Information about machines or plant systems as well as process and instrumentation data can be collected and managed in a structured way. This helps ensures clarity and transparency, even for complex systems.

That's how our customers benefit from working with Eplan

“We wanted to use not just the most convenient, but basically the best system for the job.”
