www.siemens.com/global/en.html Siemens (a multi-national technology company) and
www.eplan.com Eplan (a provider of software and service solutions in the fields of electrical, automation and mechatronic engineering) are making engineering and production processes for customers in machine and line building more efficient by both companies significantly expanding data interoperability between their offerings.
This will be achieved by automating interaction between Siemens’ Teamcenter X software, Siemens’ TIA Portal, Eplan Electric P8, and Eplan Pro Panel, ‘thereby making engineering information available right on Eplan and vice-versa’. The companies say customers will benefit from a more efficient tool chain for machine and line engineering, making electrical engineering much faster and less prone to errors, adding that this collaboration expands Siemens’ and Eplan’s partner ecosystems. “The Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform creates a powerful ecosystem of partners that is accelerating the digital and sustainable transformation of industry. Eplan customers are benefiting from the extended collaboration via the Eplan Partner Network.”
Cedrik Neike, a member of the managing board of Siemens AG and CEO of Digital Industries, said: “The partnership between Siemens and Eplan is a milestone in digital engineering. The optimised data exchange enables customers to realise their projects in construction, operation and expansion faster and more efficiently. With this collaboration, we are strengthening our Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem and are creating more value for our customers than each of us could individually.”
Sebastian Seitz, Eplan’s CEO, concluded: “With this collaboration, Eplan and Siemens are bringing together their extensive experience in machine engineering to provide our joint customers with an end-to-end engineering tool chain. This makes engineering processes much faster and less prone to errors.”
The improved offerings will become successively available to customers beginning next year.
