The free version of eManage allowed users to upload, share and manage Eplan Platform projects in the cloud environment. Solutions provider Eplan is now presenting the full version of the software, which offers considerably more added value: master data can be accessed in the cloud as can supplementary documents, and performance is increased with additional capacity. Collaboration is at the heart of the application, which networks OEMs, system integrators, machine builders and operators.
The full version of eManage has been available since the release of the new Eplan Platform 2022 in September. The fee-based expansion stage of this innovative cloud software enables the first steps towards roundtrip-enabled engineering in automation.
As of yet, if a project is shared in the cloud, the schematics are visible, but not all the accompanying documentation. The full version of Eplan eManage offers added value in this area. Project stakeholders are provided access to all data and documentation relevant to the project, including bills of materials as well as neutral documents in Excel. These become interchangeable with a uniform foundation of data. Eplan head of engineering solutions Claas Schreibmüller explains: “The complete overview of customer requirements and project requirements provides more transparency for all stakeholders involved in developing a machine or plant system.” Appropriate rights management ensures that data access can be precisely regulated.
