Your Benefits at the Rittal Application Center

Seamless interaction between tools and processes is critical to your success, and they need to interlock perfectly and be tailored to your specific requirements. This is what you will experience firsthand at the Rittal Application Center. Together with our Rittal and Eplan experts and the Eplan Pro Panel software, you will create a virtual prototype of your control cabinet in 3D based on your schematic from Eplan Electric P8 and validated data for electrical components from the Eplan Data Portal. The Rittal system configurators then allow you to configure the Rittal enclosure and accessories in 3D and with a plausibility check, making it easy to hand over the data for further mechanical or manual processing.
