EPLAN and Rittal – Your Strong Partners for Future-Proof Control and Switchgear Construction

Digitisation poses numerous challenges for companies from all industries. In the entire control and switchgear engineering field, time pressures are determining the day-to-day business. In addition, there are enormous cost pressures, for instance due to a high proportion of fixed costs for enclosures, electrotechnical equipment, packaging and wages. And your customers also have high demands of you: individualised solution concepts to mass customisation, short delivery times, high quality switchgear systems and documentation – and all at the lowest possible price. It quickly becomes clear that improved integrated process quality is required. Trust in EPLAN and Rittal as your strong partners.

Processes

Value Creation With Combined Forces

Complete continuity and compatibility of data and systems are both the starting point and goal for integrated process optimisation: from engineering, technical order preparation and material logistics through to manufacturing, assembly, provision and commissioning. Complete digitisation begins with standardising and modularising your products. This foundation is used to create the digital twin as the starting point for automated manufacturing as well as maintenance and servicing. Together, EPLAN and Rittal offer you integrated concepts with the right consulting services, perfect software and machine and control cabinet systems.

EPLAN Pro Panel

Virtual Panel Building in 3D

Automate your manufacturing processes – with EPLAN Pro Panel, you can create a 3D digital twin of a control cabinet, which provides you all the necessary data and information to comprehensively optimise your planning for control cabinet manufacturing.

EPLAN Smart Mounting

Manual Assembly of Control Cabinets

EPLAN Smart Mounting provides step-by-step support for assembling control cabinets and equipping them with electrotechnical components.

EPLAN Smart Wiring

Wired Intelligently

Using EPLAN Smart Wiring, you can visualise every step for wiring a control cabinet. Intelligent wiring becomes a reality by providing digital engineering data and project comparisons that are always up-to-date.

EPLAN Data Portal

High Quality Data, Always Available

Efficient engineering requires a standardised and error-free database. With the EPLAN Data Portal, you have access to a multitude of high-quality device and component data from a continuously growing pool of manufacturers.

EPLAN Engineering Configuration

Create the Digital Twin via Configuration

As a producer of volume products from machine and plant system manufacturing, EPLAN Engineering Configuration saves you from having to manually create the control cabinet layout. Instead, you generate the digital twin in EPLAN Pro Panel based on a configuration. This solution works in any industry, no matter whether the control cabinet belongs to a machine, is located on a ship, is used in a building or is part of a LV/MV switchgear system.
