Getting up to Speed with Engineering Solutions for Automotive Manufacturing

Hardly any other industry is facing such enormous upheavals as the automotive industry. With energy transformation, new mobility concepts and the technological demands for vehicles of the future mean that automotive manufacturing is facing new challenges. Each new technical development in automation technology increases the demands on manufacturing. At the same time, cost pressures are increasing along the entire value chain. With our solutions, you can optimise the entire value chain in vehicle manufacturing in order to deliver digital transformation initiatives which drive efficiencies through the manufacturing process, shorten time to market and reduce maintenance costs. Many car manufacturers and automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers have been relying on EPLAN’s powerful solutions for many years.

Processes

EPLAN: Your Partner from Engineering to Maintenance

Automobile production is characterised by a close partnership between vehicle manufacturers, as plant operators, and suppliers of plant systems, machine engineering companies and panel builders. EPLAN offers both sides decisive added value for more efficiency: from concept planning, standardisation and detail planning, to manufacturing integration for plant system manufacturers and supplier companies as well as for plant system documentation. All stages of the vehicle manufacturing processes are supported: we make it possible for you to efficiently plan and design production systems, whether it be in the press shop, the paint shop, the body shop or in assembly. The resulting documentation is the decisive prerequisite for trouble-free plant operations, maintenance and servicing.

Digitalised Processes – from Engineering to Production and Maintenance

Ever shorter product lifecycles and faster technological developments require increased efficiency in production, maintenance and plant planning. As a result, plants, components and processes have to be standardised. EPLAN offers data consistency for automotive plant planning, through to engineering and maintenance.

Advantages

Integrated Standards for the Entire Supply Chain

EPLAN solutions ensure that all of your engineering data comes from a single source of truth – from preplanning to manufacturing. This enables integrated connections to standard interfaces and integration into existing processes and system landscapes. That is why a number of automotive companies rely on EPLAN as the standard software for their entire supplier chain.

EPLAN Consulting

Enormous Potential for Your Company Processes

Our experienced EPLAN consultants have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the automotive sector, and will help you to utilise EPLAN solutions efficiently and introduce new engineering methods, standardisation and standards.

Easily manage project data via the cloud

Easily manage & provide feedback on project data from suppliers

A chaotic data workflow is common place, but how can this data chaos be reduced? Rather than sharing project data with one another via email and having uncontrolled versions, EPLAN's range of cloud-based solutions allow for projects to be uploaded to the cloud and shared with project stakeholders for comments/approval. This approach ensures a single source of truth, and that data is to a high standard.

Rittal and EPLAN

Integrated Value Chain

Working hand-in-hand with our affiliate Rittal, we offer you integrated solutions for industrialising your value chain.

Solutions

CAE Solutions for Automotive

High-quality plant documentation that depicts the reality on the ground is crucial for every plant operator. In turn, plant system manufacturers and panel builders require efficient tools for planning plant systems and supporting their own manufacturing processes. We offer you all of this from a single source of truth (digital twin).

EPLAN Electric P8

Integrated Electrical Engineering

Aside from delivering options for creating electrical schematics, EPLAN Electric P8 also offers integrated data and engineering concepts based on the EPLAN Platform. Direct interfaces to related disciplines such as fluid power engineering and control technology facilitate project planning and maintaining as-built documentation.

EPLAN Fluid

For Your Fluid Power Designs

Electrical engineering and fluid power engineering are directly interdependent – planning them in one common software solution is thus an important aspect for comprehensive documentation. With EPLAN Fluid, we offer you an integrated fluid-technical solution from the EPLAN Platform with a common database for electrical engineering.

EPLAN Pro Panel

Virtual Panel Building in 3D

Plant system concepts and maintenance concepts of the future require new perspectives. EPLAN Pro Panel delivers the digital twin of control cabinets and other enclosures, enabling plant personnel to quickly orient themselves within the system and identify components. For plant system manufacturers, EPLAN Pro Panel offers a platform for project planning with in-depth product integration based on detailed documentation and direct integrations to production machines.
