Designing and manufacturing automation plants and machineries

Many automation companies experience the advantages E³ offers when designing and manufacturing automation plants and machineries

Casestudy: ARM Automation achieves two-thirds electrical design time reduction using intelligent schematics (PDF)

Beneficial features

• one system; – ’overall’ as well as ’detailed’ engineering
• same object may be represented in various type of documentation
• assure quality throughout documentation changing objects once
• communicate relevant engineering data from/to databases, excel (I/O lists, etc.)
• generate documentation automatically from available sources
• interface to diffferent PLC systems (…export/…import)
• track your ’loops’ from control room to field instrumentation
• hierarcical design ; ’Top Down’ – ’Bottom-Up’ systems design
• premanufacture wires including correct lengths, markings and sleeves (save 50% in workshop)
• use equipment’s ‘footprints’ to interface cutouts- and drilling- machines (dxf/dwg/cnc)
• 3D collision check for placed equipment and automatic routing of wires via cable ducts
• direct access to datasheets and certificates relevant to included equipment
• export your final documentation in various accepted formats (;pdf, dwg/dxf, dgn, etc.)
• allow electrical engineering integrated with Hydraulic/Pneumatic design
• unique rule-based handling of options and variants
• sharing development ressources working in a MultiUser environment
