Engineering - Digitalisation and Prototyping Boost Productivity

Ingeniería

La digitalización y la creación de prototipos aumentan la productividad

El armario eléctrico se planifica y diseña digitalmente en el departamento de ingeniería. Las soluciones de software de EPLAN funcionan a la perfección para generar una base de datos centralizada de todo el proceso de la cadena de valor: paso a paso, se crea el gemelo digital del producto real como un modelo de datos consistente. Los datos en 3D  representan la cubierta y los accesorios del prototipo virtual. Estos datos se complementan con componentes específicos del proyecto e información sobre el cableado. Como parte de este proceso, todos los datos de ingeniería están disponibles en un entorno centralizado al que también se puede acceder en los pasos posteriores del proceso. De este modo, incluso la personalización masiva puede automatizarse y llevarse a cabo de forma rentable.

Product Functions Design

Schematic design with ECAD software – the entire value chain subsequently benefits from consistent engineering data .

Your Benefit

EPLAN Data Portal

  • Find standardized and internationally applicable component data quickly and easily
  • Benefit from clear time savings during project planning compared to manual processes
  • Boost the quality of your documentation significantly
Your Benefit

EPLAN Electric P8

  • Choose between a graphical, logical or device-based project planning approach to support different working processes
  • Auto-connecting allows you to logically connect schematics symbols in no time at all
  • Reports such as terminal diagrams, wiring diagrams or bills of materials are generated automatically
  • Features for processing bulk data such as "find and replace" and "edit in Excel" accelerate the design process while increasing quality
Your Benefit

EPLAN Fluid

  • Save time by speeding up time-consuming steps and minimizing the need to consult specialist departments
  • Macro technology enables you to store standards and expertise in the system so they can be reused later on
  • Fluid technology can be planned in line with the latest ISO 1219 or IEC 81346 standards with a mechatronic approach

Checking & Correcting

The schematic is checked for conformity to standards, completeness and correctness before it is made available for subsequent processes. This way, errors in subsequent processes, e.g. in the unambiguous designation of components or in the complete description of electrical connections, can be avoided. Ideally, this is done automatically with the support of the ECAD software.
