Streamlining the electrical design of railway vehicles and equipment through standardization and data utilization.
In the railway and transportation infrastructure industry, vehicles and various equipment are used over long periods, requiring not only new designs but also the accurate maintenance of design information through repeated modifications and updates. Additionally, managing circuit diagrams and connection information tends to become complex due to the large number of devices and cables involved. With Eplan, information such as circuit diagrams, components, terminals, and cables can be centrally managed as design data. The ability to reuse standard circuits and past design assets allows for more efficient design of similar vehicles and equipment, as well as design changes during modifications. Furthermore, it can generate various reports from connection information and supports multilingual drawings. Eplan accurately accumulates and reuses design information, supporting long-term engineering from vehicle electrical systems to railway-related equipment.

Applications/Examples of results
It is utilized for managing electrical design and connection information of railway vehicles, as well as electrical and control design for transportation infrastructure. J-TREC (Japan Transport Engineering Company) has adopted Eplan Electric P8. By automatically generating From-To lists from design data of connection diagrams, it has reduced manual work and the need for consistency checks between drawings and documents, achieving a 20% reduction in electrical design man-hours compared to conventional vehicles. JEMA Energy, which specializes in power conversion devices for railways and transportation infrastructure, uses Eplan Electric P8 as the foundation for electrical design. They are advancing standardization and automation of design by macro-izing existing designs and generating bill of materials from circuit diagrams to integrate with ERP systems.
