Some manufacturers are transitioning from AutoCAD to EPLAN; learn more about what EPLAN is, its benefits, and why AMT is the right integrator for your next P8 controls design project.

What is EPLAN Electric P8 Controls Design?

AutoCAD Electrical is a familiar choice for most designers to utilize in the automation controls industry. However, EPLAN Electric is a computer-aided drafting program that has seen a steady increase in recent years as some US manufacturing leaders are mandating its use for electrical and controls.

What are the Benefits of EPLAN?

EPLAN Electric P8 is designed to be a consistent and flexible software that allows for intelligent design and drawing capabilities. Compared to AutoCAD, EPLAN P8 is a more convenient solution, offering features such as increased ease of running reports like the bill of materials (BOM). EPLAN P8 can help customers improve their productivity and optimize their processes, with the added benefit of being backed by a data portal.
