EPLAN to PRO.FILE

EPLAN as a key part of the product development process (PLM)

EPLAN to PRO.FILE

Integrating EPLAN into PRO.FILE enables product models to be supplemented with ECAD data (e.g. connection lists, circuit diagrams in electrical and fluid engineering, bills of materials, EPLAN evaluations) in PRO.FILE.

EPLAN as a Key Part of the Product Development Process (PLM)

Consistent data in the product development process is the basis for process reliability, product quality and interdisciplinary cooperation over the entire product life cycle. With the CIDEON EPLAN PRO.FILE interface, benefit from the advantages of integrated data management over the entire product life cycle.

Use Cases

The CIDEON EPLAN -PRO.FILE interface is the basis for smart data sharing between EPLAN and PRPO.FILE. Find out more via typical areas of application:

Data Inconsistency

Avoid data inconsistency in electrical BOMs and parts due to manual data transfers to ERP.

Time and Money Costs

Manual effort for transferring and storing data costs time and money. Prevent it with easy, automated data processing.

Costly Postprocessing

Insufficient communication during design leads to time-consuming and costly postprocessing. All-round communication processes save time and money.

Documentation

Prevent absent and incomplete documentation, for example, by supplementing product models with ECAD data in PRO.FILE.

Product Features

Design Data Management

- Opening, saving, revisioning

- Complete approval and change process support

- Creation and updating of EPLAN evaluations

Benefits

Integrate ECAD data into PRO .FILE using the EPLAN-PRO.FILE interface from CIDEON. Achieve end-to-end and seamless cooperation in the product development process. Find out more about the individual benefits:

Competitive Advantages From Data Integration

Gain competitive advantages by integrating all PRO.FILE objects and processes, such as "Sales Orders" and "Project System". Access is then possible to costs, supplier information, stock levels and quality information already in the early stages of product development.

Exclusion of Project Data Redundancies

Avoid project data redundancies. Use referencing instead of duplicates. Data authority is then established within the system.

High Data Quality

Automatically synchronize metadata. Ensure high standards of quality by using up-to-date and accurate data.

Automation

Create and update PRO.FILE BOMs (e.g. sales order BOMs, project BOMs...) with the maximum possible automation.

Interdisciplinary Engineering

Generate cross-system, company PLM processes. Guaranteed smooth processes in managing parts and bill of material as well sustainable product data management.

Transparency

Create greater transparency by providing data centrally in PRO.FILE. Make all information accessible to all departments.

Mechatronic Bill of Materials: MCAD and ECAD Combined

Combine your bill of materials from mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics, fluid and electrical engineering and create a common, redundancy-free mechatronic bill of materials. It serves as a common data source for all departments such as procurement, work preparation and manufacturing.
