Siemens and Eplan make engineering and production processes more efficient for mechanical and plant engineering customers. The two companies achieve this by significantly expanding data interoperability between their products. Through automated interactions between Siemens Software Teamcenter X®, TIA Portal, Eplan Electric P8, and Eplan Pro Panel, engineering information is available directly in Eplan and vice versa.
Customers benefit from a more efficient tool chain for mechanical and systems engineering, which makes electrical engineering significantly faster and less error-prone.

The cooperation expands the Siemens and Eplan partner ecosystem. As an open digital business platform, Siemens Xcelerator will create a powerful partner ecosystem that will accelerate the digitalization and sustainable transformation of industries. Eplan customers will benefit from increased collaboration via the Eplan Partner Network.
“The partnership between Siemens and Eplan is a milestone in digital engineering. The optimized data exchange enables customers to realize their projects in construction, operation and expansion faster and more efficiently,” said Cedrik Neike, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Digital Industries. “With this collaboration we’re strengthening our Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem and are creating more value for our customers than each of us could individually.”
Eplan CEO Sebastian Seitz added: “With this collaboration, Eplan and Siemens are bringing together their extensive experience in machine engineering to provide our joint customers with an end-to-end engineering tool chain. This makes engineering processes much faster and less prone to errors.”
The collaboration between the two companies was agreed on by Cedrik Neike and Prof. Dr. Friedhelm Loh, owner and chairman of Friedhelm Loh Group, at the SPS trade show (Eplan is part of the Friedhelm Loh Group). The improved offerings will become successively available to customers beginning next year.
