EPLAN: Meet PAM, the Panel Building Automation Matrix

EIN PAM EPLAN 400

Feb 14, 2020

The ultimate assessment platform to discover bottleneck issues within your engineering and manufacturing processes and see real-world solutions with time and costs savings instantly.

Panel builders operate in an exceedingly tough competitive market, which means that reducing time spent on designs and excluding errors and reworks – in other words – keeping costs down – is of paramount importance. But, how can you meet this challenge? If these are just a few of your issues there is a solution:

  • Increasing price pressure
  • Shortage of skilled labor
  • Pressure to reduce delivery times
  • Ineffective workflows and quality issues
  • Requirement to reduce scrap
  • How to increase productivity
  • How to simplify the production of panels dramatically

By closely collaborating with their customers, EPLAN have benchmarked several panel and machine builders by evaluating workflows and the time taken to produce a single unit, and have found that the majority of panel builders in the USA and UK are working manually. Therefore, there is a need for action to shift from manual to semi-automated engineering. By introducing automation technologies and integrating engineering and production processes, panel builders can benefit from an increase in productivity, shorter project turnaround times, cost savings and improvements in product quality.
