Automated Engineering: Combining Configuration and Engineering
The term automated engineering combines configuration with engineering. In practice, this means automating engineering processes, integrating these processes and connecting them with configuration processes in sales, order processing and directly to engineering. EPLAN offers you solutions for implementing automated engineering in your company.
Automation With EPLAN
The foundation for automation with EPLAN includes measures such as product structuring and implementing a re-use concept based on modularisation. Being able to automatically generate documents such as schematics means using a configuration interface can make sense for a lot of companies. For instance, this is where the electrical engineering part of machine design is configured.
Mass Customisation and Configuration – A Contradiction of Terms?
Mass customisation instead of volume production – this is one of today’s requirements for bringing individualised products to market using engineering and manufacturing processes designed for volume production. Mass customisation means the demand for customised manufacturing documentation while a volume product allows the use of product configurators to select the desired product variant. Meanwhile, connecting configurators and engineering has become a frequent measure for optimisation for manufacturers of volume products with numerous variants. EPLAN’s EEC provides the appropriate solution for you and has implemented effective workflows in numerous customer projects.
