More Efficiency in Engineering – Our Mission is to Create More Value for You!

Optimising your engineering processes is the focus of our services. As an experienced partner, we are here for you, providing support and advice through all project phases.

The First Step: A Joint Workshop

Using the EPLAN Experience concept, we first work with you to analyse your working methods and goals, including examining each of your process steps and documentation. Using this foundation, our consultants develop tailor-made recommendations for action for you with potentials and measures to be taken.

Perfectly Customised Consulting for Your Engineering Workflows

Every company is unique – which is why we adapt our on-site consulting services to your individual needs. Our consultants work with you to find the optimal EPLAN solutions for your workflows and support you from installation through to fine-tuning the results. We support your engineering staff with all questions that arise about the applications so that you can quickly reap the benefits of the EPLAN software’s full added value, whether the software is newly installed or already in use. You can rely on our decades of experience, proven best practices and consulting expertise as part of the complete EPLAN Experience.

4.2.6 Method: Individualised Recommendations for Action for Your Company

EPLAN consulting guides you to efficient engineering with the EPLAN Experience concept, consisting of four steps with two topics each over six months. In accordance with your company’s individual design and manufacturing processes, we support you with standardisation and automation along your value chain. Foregoing a long trial-and-error process, your staff will benefit from our EPLAN experts’ many years of experience and will be able to begin their automated day-to-day work in the new software environment almost immediately.

Our Consulting Master Plan: Guidance from A to Z

Are you looking for comprehensive project support? We put together a perfectly tailored overall concept – from project initiation and realisation through to coaching after rollout – based on our experience from a wide variety of industries and sectors.

EPLAN Experience

Step by Step to More Efficiency

EPLAN Experience is a concept that provides you with specific recommendations for action for process optimisation. It shows you how you can work in a functionally structured way and follow common standards. You can use this solid foundation to increase your engineering efficiency step by step. The focus is on eight fields of action. This can be a specific subject area in your company, or a process that shows the potential for optimised engineering. Everything can be implemented, but it doesn’t have to be. The concept has an open design: your tasks and assignments determine the need for action – regardless of company size, location or industry.

Efficient Engineering, Efficient Control Cabinet Manufacturing

Everyone is talking about Industry 4.0, intelligent networking, flexible production and smart logistics, and even robotics and big data applications. But what about the strategic digitisation of design processes and designing control technology for machines and plants? This is examined in the “Engineering 4.0” study by the European 4.0 Transformation Center (E4TC) at RWTH Aachen University. Furthermore, the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units (ISW) specifically dealt with the issue of the future of control cabinet manufacturing. EPLAN Consulting bases its consulting concepts on scientifically substantiated models and structures.

Efficiency Study “Engineering 4.0”

In the “Engineering 4.0” study, researchers at the E4TC in Aachen introduced an engineering workflow model (amongst other things) and prepared an evaluation matrix with five efficiency levels. The “Efficiency Level Matrix” – with detailed statements about method workflows – is accompanied by an “Use Level Matrix”, which describes and evaluates the use of CAE software as the basic prerequisite for Engineering 4.0. The complete study is available from EPLAN free of charge.

“Control Cabinet Manufacturing 4.0” Study

Manufacturing control cabinets in practice is often still characterised by manual work steps, even in the era of Industry 4.0. Yet automating control cabinet manufacturing and engineering processes pays off in the end – and can do so for your company as well. The “Control Cabinet Manufacturing 4.0” study shows the enormous potential for increasing efficiency and lowering costs and provides answers to the question: What does the future of control cabinet manufacturing look like?
