On the 15th of May, EPLAN Software and Services GmbH, along with and its affiliate Cideon, are hosting their third virtual fair on future-oriented engineering trends. The virtual fair is on 15 May, from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm (20:00) CET.theThe virtual fair stand will include a digital representation of the joint appearance at this year’s Hannover Messe (23–27 April 2018). . Interested parties from around the world can take a virtual tour of the individual stations. The show has all the great features that make it the ultimate EPLAN show:informative presentations, live demonstrations of the newest software versions and, the opportunity to chat with experts around the world and to network with other users.

AutomationML makes it possible! The new integration solution from Eplan Electric P8 to Melsoft iQ Works by Mitsubishi Electric connects electrical engineering to automation. Data such as symbolic addresses, for instance, can now be exchanged bi-directionally with the current software suite. The results in Eplan Electric P8 are impressive: valid schematics, including bus wiring for PLC components amongst themselves, and top quality hardware configurations.

Eplan Cogineer, was first presented at the Hannover Messe and is now a fully-fledged member of Eplan Platform. This software used for easy and fast generating of schematics and fluid-power designs gives automation an extra boost. Eplan presented the software’s first cloud application as a sneak preview at the SPS IPC Drives. Eplan Cogineer will now also be offering the added value of a cloud-based engineering solution based on Microsoft Azure.

Schaumburg, IL, July 2017 – The inclusion of a piping module in the new 2.7 release of EPLAN Preplanning, available in September, adds a powerful tool for accelerating the initial phase of engineering machines, production lines, even entire plants.

Schaumburg, IL, April 20, 2017 – EPLAN is launching EPLAN Cogineer, a new software package that generates schematics automatically, at the 2017 Hannover Trade Fair later this month. “We’ve developed a solution that is easy to use, yet very innovative,” says Dieter Pesch, EPLAN’s Senior Vice President of Product Management and Development. The major benefits are time saved and error avoidance. While EPLAN Cogineer is suitable for projects of any size, it can save huge amounts of engineering time – days or even weeks – in large or complex projects with many schematics, typical of what one encounters nowadays in modular machine or systems design.

After the successful start of this new online concept in 2016, solutions provider EPLAN is taking the next logical step. In association with its affiliate CIDEON, the specialists for efficient engineering are hosting the next Virtual Fair on March 21, 2017. Customers and other interested parties will experience an up close and personal trade-show feeling, with live software demonstrations and presentations. No time-consuming travel is necessary: just register, log in and take part in the talks online or chat with experts from around the world at the virtual engineering stand.

Schaumburg, 15 December, 2016 - The new EPLAN Harness proD version 2.6is intuitive 3D/2D software that covers all of today’s requirements for convenient, high quality wiring and wire harness engineering. New features include enhanced automaticwire dimensioning andintuitive routing of wires with predefined lengths. Open interfaces allow for true collaboration between mechanical and electrical engineering.

EPLAN Education, the training concept for schools and colleges, includes software solutions in the areas of electrical, fluid power, ICA and control cabinet engineering. Previously limited to 25 slots, EPLAN Education Campus now has an expanded network license with 300 slots. The license is made available on a central server and can be used across institutions around the entire campus. This provides education facilities around the world the opportunity to fully train on the software.

Introduced at the Hannover Messe, EPLAN Smart Wiring software is now available to opens up new potential for wiring switchgear systems. It is easy to use since the technical switchgear knowledge is anchored within the system. Solutions provider EPLAN is forging new technical pathways with this software, which can also be used on mobile devices: the system is being made available free of charge for up to four months.

The new EPLAN Data Portal record proves high-quality data has become essential for engineering. In June 2016, users downloaded over 1,000,000 device and component data. This clearly demonstrates that there is a great need for manufacturers’ data and that without data integration, engineering can come to a grinding halt.
