At the Application Centre, you'll get to see the seamless interaction between EPLAN and Rittal tools. You'll see how improvements can be made along the value chain, for example how better data flow can have wide-reaching benefits to efficiency, productivity and cost reduction. Utilising Rittal and Eplan's unique relationship, data can flow through the EPLAN Platform, from planning, schematic creation in EPLAN Electric P8, 3D design and digital twins in EPLAN Pro Panel, with validated data for electrical components from the EPLAN Data Portal. Data then moves into the Rittal system configurators to allow you to configure the enclosures and accessories with plausibility-check and in 3D - ready for handing over the data to mechanical or manual further processing.

Experience how all these tools and processes interlock perfectly, tailored to your individual requirements and needs.
