EPLAN: More than electrical CAD
Trusted design software for electrical control panel design
Do you find yourself constrained by the limitations of your current CAD software? Are you burdened with repetitive manual tasks that are not only time-consuming but also prone to errors? As technology advances, many businesses involved in electrical design software are now seeking alternative solutions that enhance their workflows, save valuable time and bolster their company’s control panel building process.
EPLAN are happy to help you take the next step in electrical design that goes beyond the use of your current CAD/ECAD software: the use of EPLAN software.
Is your panel building heading in the right direction?
Let’s take this journey together!
Stressed out by last-minute changes in control panel design?
Your client has requested control cabinets with a set delivery date. Your co-workers are using CAD software to create the electrical schematics, procurement has a table of required materials, and the production team has a document containing components, connections and terminals information. But then your client submits some last-minute changes. The pressure is on to make all the adjustments without losing sight of the end goal – delivering a flawless product on time. Your reputation as an excellent supplier is at stake, so the stakes are high.
Changes are made simple with EPLAN
While your average computer-aided design (CAD) software can be versatile in technical designs, it is important to note that dedicated electrical packages, like EPLAN, can significantly streamline electrical engineering workflows. With EPLAN, changes made to schematics are automatically updated in reports, lists, terminal and wire diagrams, and bills of materials, ensuring everything is always up to date. Plus, the option for an automatic wire numbering re-run is available, making the entire process stress-free.
Traditional CAD software vs EPLAN software
Result: More time is spent on regular day-to-day tasks which reduces the time available for more complex design projects.
Result: Less time is spent on regular day-to-day tasks which means more time for more important things
Explore the reasons for switching from CAD software to a dedicated ECAD solution in this quick and helpful guide. Discover how an ECAD solution can revolutionise your working practices, and how EPLAN can help you overcome any concerns you may have about making the transition.
We understand that it can be daunting to switch from your familiar CAD systems, and therefore, we at EPLAN want to make the journey from CAD to smart electrical design as simple as possible for you. In our free PDF, we show you why changing to EPLAN software will pay off for you and your company!
Productivity increased by up to 70% with EPLAN
The design engineers at PNE Controls previously used a universal CAD software package. After the changeover to EPLAN Electric P8, they discovered that their productivity increased by no less than 70%, largely due to the software’s high degree of automation.
As PNE Controls CEO Pete Walton explains, “EPLAN Electric P8 is very intuitive and easy to use. Features like the software’s automatic cable numbering capabilities also help speed up the design process and, as there are far fewer errors, we also save a lot of time in building and testing the control panels.”
