Entry into the engineering process for a machine or system is defined in preplanning. The initial data is acquired at the earliest possible opportunity and is always refined further. The initial steps for component use in machine design are also defined.
Basic Engineering
The first step – from the initial idea to the finished product
Seamless integration for subsequent planning steps
The basic data is processed in Eplan Preplanning, with seamless transfer to detail planning. Use of the initial components is also defined. Using configurations from the Rittal Configuration System, the CAD data is extracted and used for further processing.
Your advantages for greater efficiency:
Customizable series portfolio with high availability
Use Eplan Preplanning to acquire engineering data, including sensor and actuator technology, at the earliest possible opportunity and utilize it across processes
Configure and order products and corresponding accessories quickly and easily with the Rittal RiPanel
Digital data already supports engineering at an early planning and design stage.
