EPLAN

Computer Aided Design (CAD) is at the heart of all manner of engineering processes. A high quality CAD can help companies optimize processes, accelerate product development cycles and reduce time-to-market. This is exactly the goal that EPLAN, a leading provider of software-based engineering solutions set out to achieve. In the first installment of this three-part series, we are pleased to have Carsten Metelmann, Vice President International Sales at EPLAN with us on the show who will be discussing more on how EPLAN and the traditional technique of CAD have been evolving with the advent of global phenomena such as Industry 4.0, globalization and demographic change. 

While the advent of the Industrial IoT has brought with it numerous benefits to businesses such as improved operations and profitability, increasing digitalization is also adding layers of complexity on top of many traditional systems. The drawback of this is that the ease of use of such systems are adversely affected. In the second episode of the series, we continue the conversation with Carsten Metelmann, Vice President of International Sales at EPLAN about how their traditional technology has been forced to evolve with recent developments like demographic change, the cloud and IoT. Specifically, we will look in greater detail at how the functionalities and architecture of their technology such as the recently launched SaaS-based solution Cogineer handle complexity while remaining highly integrative and not compromising on ease of use. 

More and more companies are seeing the value in integrating CAD solutions with their enterprise applications in order to help them facilitate their drive towards automation and digitalization. In the third and final part of the series, Carsten Metelmann Vice President of International Sales at EPLAN will walk us through several case studies of how EPLAN technologies such as Cogineer are helping companies to bring electrical engineering solutions to life.
