Eplan Platform 2022 Launch: A New Intuitive Interface for Enhanced Engineering Collaboration

We’re excited to unveil the Eplan Platform 2022, a next‑generation solution designed to streamline electrotechnical engineering for both seasoned professionals and newcomers alike. By blending an intuitive user interface with powerful new workflows, the platform delivers both ease of use and high performance.

The update features a redesigned UI that incorporates familiar ribbon bars and a Backstage view—elements many users already recognize from other industry standards—while offering significantly improved ergonomics. The result is a learning curve that’s noticeably shorter, allowing teams to hit the ground running.

Workflows for the Digital Age

At the core of the Platform’s design is a focus on collaboration across the entire industrial value chain. As a company’s engineering backbone, CAE solutions like the Eplan Platform are deeply embedded in a firm’s strategy and investment roadmap. The new release prioritises seamless data exchange among stakeholders, supported by cloud services such as Eplan eBuild, eManage (full version), and eView. These tools foster a new level of partnership with customers, suppliers, and partners.

Real‑World Feedback from Industry Experts

Electrical Designer Markus Sommer at J. Wagner GmbH, a global leader in surface‑finishing coating technology, praised the new UI: “The uniform user guidance, built on today’s proven concepts, makes onboarding quick—especially for new hires. The functions are well‑structured and the integrated ribbon technology is genuinely enjoyable.”

“The uniform user guidance in the new Eplan Platform 2022, based on established concepts from today’s working world, really makes it easy to quickly get started with the software, especially for new employees. The myriad functions that Eplan offers are well structured and clearly arranged, and the integrated ribbon technology is just fun to use.”

Similarly, Michael Noack, Eplan Administrator at KSV—a control cabinet manufacturer in Koblenz—shared insights from his beta testing: “The device‑management functions now allow all device properties to be saved by variant, providing greater precision. For example, routing can accurately map auxiliary contact blocks of contactors whose connections change position depending on the substructure. This not only improves the accuracy of connection diagrams but also simplifies subsequent cabinet routing.”

Subscription‑Only Model for Flexibility

The Platform is available exclusively via subscription, reducing upfront costs and offering flexible planning options. This approach strengthens our partnership with customers by ensuring we can adapt to their evolving daily needs.

Conclusion

The Eplan Platform 2022 is more intuitive, adaptable, and productivity‑boosting than ever. Coupled with the Eplan Partner Program and complementary cloud solutions, it empowers companies to collaborate more effectively with customers, partners, and suppliers.
