Who can support this project?.

The free version of eManage allowed users to upload, share and manage EPLAN Platform projects in the cloud environment. Solutions provider EPLAN is now presenting the full version of the software, which offers considerably more added value: master data can be accessed in the cloud as can supplemen-tary documents, and performance is increased with additional capacity. Collaboration is at the heart of the application, which networks OEMs, system integrators, machine builders and operators.

It’s finally here – the new Eplan Platform 2022. And with it, solutions provider Eplan is heralding the future of electrotechnical engineering, with a focus on ease of use for both experienced users and for newcomers to the software. The intuitive user interface, based on use concepts most will already be familiar with, offers a high degree of recognition and improves the user experience at the same time.

Selecting appropriate product data in engineering is often time consuming. However, the new EPLAN Data Portal, with a new user interface and improved search algorithms, makes it easier and faster than ever before. Expanded search parameters mean that users can quickly find exactly the components they are looking for. Individualised solutions based on configurators can be intuitively generated – as demonstrated by the Lenze product configurator.

At the Hannover Messe Digital Edition, solutions provider Eplan will be presenting a first look at the coming Eplan Platform, being launched in summer. A completely new user interface with ribbon technology and dark mode is in tune with current software trends and further ensures ease of use. The new 2D graphic module and central device management provide optimum performance. And yet another practical plus: the cloud service Eplan eManage ensures integrated engineering with the combination of on-premise and cloud. The changeover to the new subscription model will make the use of the software even more flexible.

The new partner network that EPLAN founded towards the end of 2020 pools the worldwide expertise of its cooperation partners to increase the benefits for customers. The EPLAN Partner Network (EPN) defines common binding goals for boosting integration along the value chain. Users profit from this increase in continuity and integration, particularly in the areas of PLM, ERP and PLC as well as simulations. The in-depth interchange amongst the manufacturers makes it easier for customers to integrate the large number of systems used on the market.

The industrial transformation is in full swing. As a result, the market conditions are changing. Eplan is consistently adapting to these changes: As of August 2021, new software licences will be offered exclusively on a subscription basis. Companies will especially benefit from more flexibility.

VASS Standard: now expanded with 3D functionality and state-of-the-art control cabinet technology.

Last year Eplan, the solutions provider, welcomed around 1,400 attendees from 73 countries to its international Virtual Fair. Impressive figures – and that in times before such virtual formats had become the standard almost everywhere. This year the interest in new, innovative Leadership Talks, practice-oriented webcasts and worldwide chats for talking shop with other users is likely to increase again.
