Bilfinger GreyLogix, based in Flensburg, Germany, is now working with the EEC One from Eplan – cutting the time needed for schematic creation in half. With 650 employees, and in business for the past fifteen years, the company specialises in large automation technology projects that require engineering expertise as well as industry-specific know-how. This is why their design teams are organised into various business units that each focus on specific market segments such as oil and gas, food and beverage and the chemical/pharmaceutical industries. Eplan Engineering Configuration One (EEC One) is a recent addition to the tools that GreyLogix uses for electrical engineering. The software allows schematics to be generated automatically, based on an Excel interface. This requires a specific approach: the engineer enters basic parameters into a table, such as the voltage for instance. Next, he selects components from an individually configured list, such as “75 kW motor,” hits the “configuration” button, and receives the wiring diagrams. The diagram still requires individual adjustments, but offers a good foundation and saves time.
