EEC Forum is when WORK becomes NETWORK.

7th EEC Forum 23 – 25 September 2019 n Cologne n Radisson Blu Hotel

Welcome to the EEC Forum 2019 in Cologne.

Dear Guests of the EEC Forum 2019,

Industry 4.0 is a reality. The visions, ideas and con-

cepts it has initiated on a global context are becom-

ing more specific and finding their way into practice.

Prime examples are the digital twin and cloud

technologies. Automated mechanical production in

control cabinet manufacturing is based on digital

twins - an integrated digital database is the central

basis for this. Digital twins can now be configured

and generated and find a home in powerful cloud

environments, as do hosted services and software

systems.

In short, automated engineering has arrived in the

digital transformation. Seamless integration is now

feasible both horizontally and vertically. These and

other interesting topics and issues will be the focus

of the EEC Forum 2019.

You can look forward to reports on practices from

renowned international companies:

n One year ago, the requirements for an interface

between SAP LO-VC and EPLAN Engineering Con-

figuration (EEC) were being gathered. At this year‘s

EEC Forum, Danfoss will be presenting how sche-

matics, models from EPLAN Pro Panel and Word

documents can be generated from a configuration

in SAP.

n Geiss AG is doing something similar yet different:

schematics and 3D control cabinet assemblies are generated

on the basis of a sales configuration.

n Hosting is a new and hot topic. Together with Lenze, we

show what a hosting solution for generating data for the EPLAN

Data Portal can look like.

n A special feature of this year’s EEC: the digital twin is a topic

for all speakers. EPLAN Pro Panel has become an integral part

of electrical engineering and control cabinet production. FEAG

is setting its focus here.

n After many years of automated engineering, Rockwell gives

another insight into its experience with EEC. The “EPLAN Work-

station” is now automating several business activities in the USA

and Europe.

Two and a half days of information and networking await us! A

new digital networking service is available to you via our themat-

ically structured LinkedIn “EEC Forum” groups. These can be

used to discuss and exchange ideas with like-minded people

before and during the conference.

The sharing of experiences and expectations remains a need

and from 2019 is being digitally supported!

We look forward to you and having many inspiring discussions!

The Rittal Innovation Center in Haiger enables you to experience its innovations close-up. Over an area of 1,200 m2, you get a

fascinating look into the integrated value chain that control cabinet and switchgear manufacturing can offer. Experience the latest

developments from Rittal and EPLAN: from engineering through to finished products.

Another highlight also awaiting you in Haiger is the brand new Rittal production facility. This is where production takes place of the

AX/KX series of compact control cabinets which meet all the requirements of digitalisation. Look forward to a fascinating guided tour

through a highly automated factory: the factory of the future for control cabinet manufacturing.

Work sessions offer an organised framework for exchanging experiences on particular topics. As the case may be each work

session starts with one short presentation held by EPLAN experts together with key customers with specific knowledge and

experience regarding a particular topic. In order to develop transferable “Best Practice” concepts, these work sessions are open

for proactive discussions and for participants to contribute their experiences. The results of each work session will be summarised

and recorded by the host for all participants.

Job Server & external configuratorsLevel: 1 + 2 + 3

Integrated configuration processes

Many companies are using configuration systems in sales and order processing. EEC bridges the gap between the configu-rators and the creation of manufacturing documentation for production. By using existing configurations, up to 100 % of such documentation can be generated using EEC.The Job Server connects EEC with upstream systems, coordi-nates parallel generation processes, and transfers import and export data.

Cloud Technology – EPLAN ePULSE/CogineerLevel: 1 + 2

EPLAN goes cloud

With its corporate structure and software solutions, EPLAN is systematically moving in the direction of cloud technology. eVIEW for project sharing, Data Portal for highly detailed product data, Cogineer for automating the EPLAN Platform and finally Cogineer Free as a freely accessible cloud solution for standardised EPLAN templates.

From basic engineering through to P&ID

EPLAN Preplanning is the EPLAN solution for integrated basic engineering in the EPLAN Platform. The data can be used to generate documentation in EEC. P&IDs can also be created in Preplanning, and can also be automated via EEC.


Oliver BitterBusiness Sales Manager, EPLAN Austria

Outlook EEC Level: 1 + 2 + 3
