RUPLAN – automated creation of electrical documentation for energy
RUPLAN

Project documentation is not just about drawing diagrams. Automate it and keep it under control.

RUPLAN streamlines the creation of electrical diagrams and subsequently automatically generates assembly documentation.

A proven CAD/CAE system for energy, industry, and transportation technology speeds up work and reduces errors during changes.

Electrical documentation

When hundreds of diagrams must remain interconnected

In extensive energy projects, it is not enough to just draw the electrical diagram.

Changes in the designation of devices, cables, or terminals must be accurately reflected in all related documents. RUPLAN automates repetitive design activities and helps maintain consistent documentation throughout the project.

AUCOTEC · Power Transmission & Distribution

Fewer manual adjustments

Automatic cross-references, labeling, and generation of subsequent documentation.

Consistent projects

Uniform structure, symbols, templates, and standardized workflows.

Faster changes

Adjustments can be systematically incorporated into related outputs without unnecessary rewriting.

Clear documentation

Diagrams, cable lists, terminal boxes, and other outputs in one project.

System functions

What RUPLAN automates

One project connects diagrams with the outputs that arise from them.

The designer does not have to repeatedly transcribe the same information into several separate documents.

01

Electrical diagrams

Creation and structuring of extensive electrical projects.

02

Cross
references

Automatic creation of links, references, and consistent labeling of elements.

03

Device
lists

Generation of instrument and material lists from project data.

04

Cable lists

Clear processing of cables, conductors, and related connections.

05

Terminal boxes and switchgear
