Actually implementing these concepts into your daily engineering process might seem daunting, but it is worth the investment. ## What is Eplan eBuild? Eplan eBuild is a cloud-based solution that helps companies bridge the gap between aspiration and implementation. By automating schematic creation and leveraging intelligent template libraries, eBuild makes it easier than ever to kickstart your journey into automated engineering. Eplan eBuild allows users to generate electrical and fluid schematics automatically based on preconfigured templates. It is part of the broader Eplan Cloud package, but what sets it apart is its focus on simplicity, speed, and accessibility. These benefits are particularly helpful for smaller teams or companies who are new to automation since it cuts out those tedious manual processes. With eBuild, engineers no longer have to manually design every single schematic. Instead, they can configure projects quickly using predefined circuits and cloud-based macro libraries.  ![csm_eplan-ebuild_14eedab8e0](https://blog.eplan.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/csm_eplan-ebuild_14eedab8e0.jpg?width=1400&height=823&name=csm_eplan-ebuild_14eedab8e0.jpg) ## Why It's Worth Your Time Standardisation might sound like an ambitious leap. To avoid any confusion or information overload, we break it down into manageable stages we call eLevels. This structure helps companies identify where they are now and what steps to take next rather than becoming overwhelmed by enacting massive changes all at one time. Whether you’re standardising a few commonly used circuits or building comprehensive macro libraries, eBuild supports growth at a pace that works best for you. Even in periods of economic uncertainty or stretched resources, eBuild presents a compelling case for investment. A recent Engineering 4.0 study conducted by Eplan and RWTH Aachen University found that companies using just partially automated methods (eLevel 4) can cut design time by up to 60%. For smaller teams the benefits are further amplified; every minute reclaimed is a minute freed up for innovation and greater profit margins. ![eLevel graphc](https://blog.eplan.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/eLevel%20graphc.webp?width=797&height=469&name=eLevel%20graphc.webp) One of eBuild’s strongest assets is its ecosystem. We offer plenty of resources for practical support to get your teams trained through remote training, workshops,and coaching. You’ll never be starting completely from scratch, so be sure to take advantage of the training available.  ## Try it For Free Still exploring your options?
