Last year, solution provider Eplan welcomed over 300 guests in person and online, and once again the focus is entirely on "Transformation in Engineering." The Eplan Forum 2024 (previously EF|A) invites interested parties from around the world to exchange knowledge. Participants can look forward to numerous case studies—live presentations by companies such as Bender Solutions (DE) and Rockwell Automation (USA).

Objective: Automation in Engineering

Automation and machine wiring with precise cable lengths via plug-and-play based on the digital twin are just some of the core topics of the two-day hybrid event, which takes place on an international level. The focus is on practical strategies for achieving the highest possible degree of automation in engineering.

How can this be achieved? Standardization is essential, but there are additional methods and approaches depending on the company's tasks. For example, the targeted integration of Eplan data into ERP and PDM systems often still holds potential. The fact is: The question "How can engineering and subsequent processes be optimized for the future?" is a concern for almost all companies.

Practical Examples

International speakers from Eplan's customer base share their experiences and take participants on their own journey to greater efficiency in engineering:

Red Eléctrica de España: Ensuring continuous national power supply—through parametric engineering for Protection & Control.
