“The overall
goal of our collaboration is to create a plug-and-play structure for electrical
planners. We want to open our tools bidirectionally for both sides and thus simplify
and accelerate workflows,” said Andreas Matthé.
Sebastian
Seitz of Eplan has also emphasized the benefits for joint customers: “In
switchgear construction, we can use Eplan Pro Panel to optimize processes and
automate them to a greater extent. In addition, we will more specifically
address the growing area of power distribution and work with Siemens to create
end-to-end solutions for integrative, more efficient workflows.”
The industry
segment comprises offerings and products for control panel building, while the
infrastructure segment includes switchgear construction for power distribution.
In the industry market segment, Siemens and Eplan will intensify the excellent
cooperation that has existed for many years, for example, to provide Eplan data
across all configured Siemens products. For the infrastructure market, Eplan and
Siemens have decided to jointly optimize and automate customer processes, for
instance in the Sivacon and Alpha environment (power distribution systems) by
integrating Simaris (planning tools) and the Eplan platform.
Both parties
will contribute their expertise to the benefit of their joint customers to
enable more efficient workflows in switchgear construction and power
distribution.
Eplan offers
engineering software and services in the fields of electrical engineering, automation,
and mechatronics. The company develops one of the world's leading software
solutions for machine, switchgear, and control panel builders. In addition, it helps
customers simplify challenging engineering processes.
Siemens’
Electrical Products offers products for a safe and efficient electrical
infrastructure at the low-voltage level in buildings and industrial
environments, including safety and control products, measuring and monitoring
devices, switches, and sockets. Furthermore, the business unit’s portfolio
includes communication-enabled software tools that can be used to connect power
distribution products to building and industrial automation, as well as to open
cloud-based IoT systems.
Visit us at Light & Building 2022, in
Frankfurt, Germany, October 2-6. You can find Siemens in Hall 11.0, booth B56,
and Eplan in Hall 12.0, booth B55.
