A twin for every occasion

How do you speed up the establishment of energy systems? The key is to understand customer processes and think in terms of value chains and how to optimise them with a combination of hardware and software. At the heart of it all is the digital twin. The journey leads through the standardisation and industrialisation of overarching solutions. The partners on this journey are Eplan and Rittal who bring their domain expertise and best-practice examples that cover the entire value creation process from engineering through system technology and automation to operation.

Eplan and Rittal offer value-creation solutions from engineering through system technology and automation to service.

    • Engineering: The Eplan Data Portal provides access to high-quality device data comprising more than 1,420,000 data sets from 430 manufacturers. When using Eplan Pro Panel, plant engineering companies are ideally equipped for the future with 3D-assisted design. Base solutions ensure that planners can now take preconfigured best-practice examples as a basis, e. g. for speeding up the planning and implementation of charging parks. Every detail, including system technology is included.
    • System: “Rittal – The System.” is a modular system for a vast range of applications that satisfies the needs of local and global markets. Rittal is continuously developing bespoke products for the energy sector, such as for energy storage. What’s more, thanks to its preassembled switchgear, Rittal is also taking over aspects of value creation in plant engineering.
    • Automation: Automation solutions from Rittal can help to considerably speed up processes from mechanical enclosure machining through to wire processing and wiring.
    • Operations: The Rittal ePocket digital wiring plan pocket safeguards up-to-date system data. It ensures equipment and system documentation, including the digital twin, can be accessed in the Eplan Cloud throughout a system’s entire service life.
