Maritime
Your Engineering Standard for Shipbuilding and Port Facilities
Digitalisation, standardisation and automation are all trends that no industrial sector can evade right now. This also holds true for the maritime industry and for planning equipment and systems. Integrated electrical engineering design and powerful ECAD software can significantly advance automation at your company. EPLAN offers integrated engineering solutions that give you effective opportunities for increasing efficiencies across all your processes, from preplanning to service and maintenance – in the safety of harbours as well as on the high seas.
Wire Design and Integrated System Landscapes
With EPLAN, you can rely on an integrated database that goes far beyond just the engineering processes – to encompass your entire value chain. From designing cruise ships, constructing yachts and even transport and special engineering: EPLAN offers shipyards and shipping companies worldwide support in integrating their processes into existing PDM system landscapes. Using EPLAN, businesses supplying shipowners can create integrated product documentation for designing ship wiring and piping for equipment and systems – from the initial design with P&I diagrams and single-line wiring design, to integrating and visualising production status and wire routing.
Maritime industry 4.0: Standards for Shipbuilding
Standardisation is the key for flexible automation concepts. Whether it’s the Module Type Package (MTP) open data standard or our activities in the Marine Equipment and Systems working group – our goal is the fully automatic integration of plant systems and components into higher-level systems.
Schematic Documentation for Port Facilities
Port and shipyard facilities often cover enormous areas – which is a challenge for both planning and in terms of servicing and maintenance. This makes unambiguous and detailed schematics documentation all the more important. The availability of current revision statuses and as-built documentation also plays an important role. Cloud-based systems can offer unique advantages in this arena: software-independent documentation is available in the cloud for all stakeholders – easily called up on a web browser. Access rights can of course be securely defined across projects. Service technicians, for instance, can make a note of changes in the schematics on a tablet computer out on the port site. Just a few seconds later, the schematics can be double-checked in the engineering office and then updated.
