EPLAN Harness proD for Your Areas of Application
Discover EPLAN Harness proD’s many varied application fields – including for your industry and engineering disciplines.
EPLAN Harness proD for Cabling in Machine Building
EPLAN Harness proD is the right tool for cable designs and field cabling, for instance in machine and plant system manufacturing. The software closes the gap between MCAD and ECAD and makes possible electrotechnical cable designs in 3D.
Transfer electrotechnical components planned in EPLAN Electric P8 and EPLAN Pro Panel into a 3D mechanical model and create a digital representation of the cabling.
Using the digital cable designs, you can derive bills of materials and further information for commercial ordering processes. Important data such as cable lengths are provided to all downstream processes, including manufacturing as well as wire harness and cable production plans. You can easily share your 3D data with co-workers and business partners via HTML export.
There are many reasons to fasten cables to components. With EPLAN Harness proD, these attachment points are considered as part of the electrotechnical designs. This important information can later be used for the correct mechanical planning of drilling holes.
EPLAN Harness proD lets you create both round and angled cable routes. This eliminates the need to manually fill round bundles – the software automatically takes care of it for you.

EPLAN Harness proD for Designing Wire Harness using the Digital Twin
With EPLAN Harness proD, you can enhance the digital twin with the relevant electrical engineering information early in the engineering process. This means the cabling and wire harness designs don’t depend on the availability of a mechanical prototype. The software is open to MCAD systems and can be seamlessly integrated into existing system landscapes.
The intuitive 3D environment makes it easy for you to design cabling and wire harnesses.
You define the routing paths and the automated routing of wires and cables.
The required manufacturing documentation can be created automatically, saving you time and increasing the quality of your documentation.
With the EPLAN Harness proD API development environment the doors to your individual further development are wide open. The development environment offers you an efficient possibility to implement your own required functionalities or automatic functions. With this individual customization in the core of EPLAN Harness proD you can optimize your engineering workflow specifically.
Faster task-based processes
