Process Industry
Your Engineering Standard for All Industry Sectors
One industry, many different sectors with various challenges and requirements. EPLAN offers you data continuity, planning security and optimised processes for the oil and gas industry, the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and for water suppliers and the wastewater treatment sector amongst others. Here you can find an overview of the various areas and our solutions which you can use to optimise your processes in an integrated way.
Oil and Gas
Three things are important to the planners and operators of process plant systems: plant system security, equipment loads and system availability. Operators of oil and gas plants can noticeably increase plant availability with efficient engineering because using EPLAN solutions can significantly optimise cooperation between engineering and operations. Based on integrated engineering software, your automation systems are compatible with operator objectives defined in the front-end engineering and development phase (FEED). Furthermore, thanks to EPLAN’s integrated approach, you have a digital “as is” description of the plant systems, which ensures planning security in the event of operational modifications or load changes.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Digitisation is presenting new challenges for all industries. Megatrends such as globalisation, an ageing society and personalised medicine also define the strategic fields of action for pharmaceutical companies. Research and production processes in the pharmaceutical industry are complex. Every facility comprises numerous systems and components that must run smoothly to ensure trouble-free production, reduce costs and shorten the time to market. In order to keep up with current developments, flexible structures and integrated processes are needed to allow pharmaceutical companies to quickly react to changing requirements along their entire product life cycles. This is exactly where you can rely on EPLAN as a strong partner.
Chemical Industry
The current trend to a circular economy is challenging chemical companies to develop products that are recyclable or that support recycling concepts. Understanding the needs of customers along the entire value chain, developing appropriate solutions and using the generated added value for profitable growth are all crucial for ensuring long-term success in the chemical industry. Digital innovations are extremely helpful in this, for instance depicting essential links of the value chain using a digital twin. EPLAN delivers integrated system solutions with its affiliates Rittal and CIDEON.
Water and Wastewater Management
Our world’s limited resources make expert and sustainable water and wastewater management systems an absolute necessity. Aside from environmental aspects, this industry must master numerous technical and economic challenges. Efficient engineering plays an important role in secure water supplies and wastewater management: data continuity and a high degree of standardisation simplify the introduction of new technologies. Furthermore, it also makes it possible to achieve uninterrupted plant system operations and to coordinate teams throughout a company.
