AUTOMATED WORKFLOW SOLUTIONS
Automating the design process
- In today’s highly competitive labour market, coupled with rising engineering costs, optimizing the use of engineering resources is essential. Embracing advanced technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), is a strategic approach to enhance efficiency and maintain a competitive edge.
- In collaboration with EPLAN’s ‘Efficient Engineering’ software, Ecodesign has developed a range of innovative and streamlined workflow solutions designed to accelerate the design process without compromising on professional quality, flexibility, or precision.
- Our solutions are tailored to meet the specific needs of each client and integrate seamlessly with all EPLAN software packages. These solutions vary from simple applications (Apps) to fully automated design workflows, such as the automatic generation of schematic drawings and reports from client data—typically provided in Excel format.
- For instance, our ESG App enables clients to directly interface with EPLAN and retrieve project data into an Excel sheet, allowing for the automatic creation of schematic drawings. This process can save clients hundreds of hours of manual work. Learn more through this video.
- We take pride in being the leaders in this field across Australasia, continually driving innovation in design automation.

- Flexibility and Sustainability: Our solutions are adaptable to any industry, offering long-term sustainability and scalability.
Excel Data Preparation
Optimize Workflow with Data Sorting and Preparation
A critical component of automating schematic drawing generation is the effective sorting and preparation of project data. Many organizations maintain their data in Excel or can export it into Excel-compatible formats.
We specialize in organizing this data into a structured format that empowers designers to seamlessly populate variables—such as device tags and descriptions—directly within EPLAN macros. By leveraging VBA code, this process enhances precision and efficiency while ensuring a smooth transition to schematic generation.
Key Features:
- Structured Data Organization: Transform raw data into a format optimized for automation.
- Automated Variable Population: Populate EPLAN macros with device tags, descriptions, and other key parameters.
- Comprehensive Device Schedules: Generate detailed schedules of devices and equipment for schematic designs.
- Direct Integration with EPLAN P8: Effortlessly import macros and variables from Excel schedules to generate schematics within EPLAN.
