Detail engineering

Digital product development

In detail engineering, digital data takes center stage in product development and production. Engineering software is used to create circuit diagrams to provide an image of the automation project. Solutions for further product planning are connected via interfaces.

Closely interlinked engineering software

With Eplan Electric P8, circuit diagrams are created using defined item data. PROJECT complete, PLCnext Engineer, and the EPLAN platform interact via standardized interfaces such as AutomationML. The CAD data from the configuration result can be extracted directly from the Rittal Configuration System and transferred to the mechanical design.

Your advantages for greater efficiency:

  • Seamless communication from engineering through to manufacturing based on standardized data for individual products

  • Cross-solution bidirectional data exchange, based on manufacturer-neutral interfaces such as AutomationML

  • Digital imaging of the automation project for a transparent interdisciplinary planning process

Uniform and open data standards make it possible to seamlessly network every process stage.
