APS Industrial and EPLAN agency agreement

APS Industrial (APS) has announced its appointment as agent for Eplan in Australia.

Eplan is a platform of computer-aided engineering design software tools for machine, plant and panel builders. Its core focus is on efficient engineering, enabling electrical, automation and mechatronic engineers to optimise and streamline engineering processes when it comes to machine, plant and control cabinet design.

Eplan is designed to simplify and streamline complex engineering tasks and processes, from design engineering, sourcing, manufacturing and operations.

According to David Hegarty, Managing Director of APS, this helps save time, reduce errors and ensure compliance to standards and documentation accuracy, assisting in digital transformation for manufacturing.

The agency agreement is another bolstering of the APS capability to support local manufacturers, following the opening of the APS Manufacturing Centre in Adelaide earlier this year.

“The opening of our national Manufacturing Centre in Adelaide was a clear demonstration of investment and commitment to supporting local businesses and their manufacturing requirements and processes. This agency agreement strengthens that via the ideal platform to streamline challenging engineering processes,” Hegarty said.

EPLAN grants users access to a range of device and component data from a pool of manufacturers, including APS partners such as Siemens, Rittal, Weidmüller and KATKO.

Keng Lim Koh, Regional Director – SEA & ANZ, Eplan said, “This agreement with APS Industrial is extremely exciting as it means we now have the perfect channel partner to apply this capability locally on a scale never before seen — greater communication with the customers and opportunities to increase workflow efficiency across all engineering disciplines for the Australian industry.”
