EPLAN CONSULTING

IO Engineering provides EPLAN Consulting to improve speed, consistency, and scalability of controls design delivery. We integrate EPLAN into your engineering workflow, migrate legacy projects from other CAD platforms or PDFs into structured EPLAN projects, and develop standards, templates, macros and libraries aligned with your internal rules and customer requirements, enabling faster design cycles, easier replication, and stronger quality control.

WHEN APPLIED CORRECTLY

  • Faster engineering delivery

  • Consistent documentation across projects

  • Reduced errors/rework during build and commissioning

  • A structured EPLAN environment that supports reuse and scaling

TROUBLE FINDING ENGINEERS WITH THE RIGHT ©EPLAN KNOWLEDGE?

We provide a comprehensive consultation service in the application of ©EPLAN software for your control automation designs. Our service leverages the substantial advantages of ©EPLAN, offering tailored guidance on Electrical, Pneumatics, and other Fluid circuits developing a right platform for your organization.

WHO IS IT FOR

  • System integrators scaling engineering capacity

  • OEMs standardising across sites / teams

  • Companies migrating from AutoCAD Electrical / legacy CAD / mixed PDFs

  • Teams with inconsistent drawings, BOMs, tagging, or documentation quality

  • Businesses wanting repeatable “project templates” for faster delivery

  • Firms with access to EPLAN software but not making the most of it due to the lack of engineers with the right knowledge

WHAT WE DO

INTEGRATION

  •  EPLAN project structuring aligned to your engineering workflow

  • Rules for page structure, naming conventions, and revision strategy

  • Links between EPLAN data outputs (BOMs, cable lists, I/O lists) and your company processes (ERPs)

MIGRATION

  • Full or partial migration from other CAD tools or PDF packs into EPLAN

  • Clean-up and normalisation of tags, device data, and documentation structure

  • Conversion into reusable macros and standardized modules

STANDARDISATION

  • Templates, title pages, cover sheets, page macros

  • Symbol libraries, parts database, device tagging rules

  • Macro strategy (how you build machines faster and more consistently)

  • QA checks and drawing governance

DELIVERABLES

  • EPLAN Project Template / Base Project

  • Standards Pack (naming/tagging rules, page structure, drawing rules)

  • Macro Library (reusable circuits, standard modules, sheet macros)

  • Parts & Device Library (approved parts, parameters, manufacturer data)

  • API based checkers tailored to your company

  • Migration Output (converted projects + structured documentation)

  • Training & Handover Pack (quick-start guides, usage rules, workshop sessions)

  • Quality Checklist (internal QA steps before manufacturing release)

TYPICAL ENGAGEMENT OPTION PACKAGES

​

Option 1 — Quick Audit (1–2 weeks)

Review your current EPLAN projects and standards; provide a gap analysis and improvement plan. 

​

Option 2 — Standardisation Sprint (2–6 weeks)

Build or rebuild templates, macro approach, libraries, and governance.

​

Option 3 — Migration Project (time-boxed)

Migrate a defined number of projects (from CAD/PDF/legacy) into structured EPLAN.

​

Option 4 — Ongoing Support

Monthly support for library upkeep, QA, new macros, and continuous improvement.

CUSTOMISED EPLAN INTEGRATION  SOLUTION FOR YOUR BUSINESS

A full integration package solution may include custom client-based forms and plot frames, single and multiline schematics, intelligent panel layouts, parts SQL database, as well as BOMs, terminals, cables, and other automated reports tailored to your specific requirements.

​​

All Electrical, Pneumatic, Coolant, Hydraulic drawings, etc. can be integrated and cross-referenced within the same ©EPLAN project

OUTCOMES

  • Reduced engineering hours per project through reuse

  • Consistent drawings across teams and subcontractors

  • Fewer build queries and commissioning issues

  • Faster onboarding of new engineers

  • Higher documentation quality for audits and customer acceptance

  • Tailored Eplan checkers to fault-finding before issuing drawings for manufacturing
