The number 13: What is considered unlucky in many places becomes a real stroke of luck with the new version of the ECLASS classification standard. With ECLASS 13 now available, planners benefit from numerous optimisations. Not only does the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) make it possible to act more ecologically. In addition, important contents of digital catalogues such as delivery times or customs duties can now be securely described in ECLASS and output in BMEcat format.

An optimised and modern engineering process: this is a requirement for the long-term success of a company. The AmpereSoft ToolSystem supports you in this. The new version 2023.1 is now available. It contains numerous optimisations of the ease of use and new possibilities for automation. These include, among other things, the BMEcat output, which can now be designed even more user-defined, and the integration of the current versions of the classification standards ECLASS and ETIM.

Expert meeting in Forchheim: The Bavarian district town hosted the BIM Conference 2022. For two days, industry experts discussed the status quo in the field of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and deliberated on the next steps. The Central Association of German Electrical and Information Technology Trades (ZVEH), the Association of the Electrical and Digital Industry (ZVEI), the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (VDE) and representatives of various companies were present. AmpereSoft Managing Director Stefan Mülhens was also on site.

At the free German-language online seminar organised by the Mittelstand 4.0 competence centre eStandards, the focus is on the presentation by AmpereSoft CEO Stefan Mülhens. Entitled “Manufacturing products cleverly – Smart Engineering in electrical engineering with ECLASS Advanced”, the organisation invites representatives of SMEs to learn about the benefits of electronic standards. In the three-question interview, Stefan Mülhens explains what it will be about.

Symbol and material data: They are indispensable in the engineering process because they form the basis for electrical documentation. Accordingly, it is important to keep them up to date at all times. To speed up the process and make the task easier for users of the AmpereSoft ToolSystem, the new version of the software suite has two valuable new functions.

Simplified processes, a reduced risk of errors and, last but not least, the chance to save a lot of working

The CAE future is ECLASS. Because only with this standard can Industry 4.0 promises such as automated, efficient and, as far as possible, error-free engineering be realized. Uniformity is therefore the goal. Many steps have already been taken along the way, but it will still take time before ECLASS is used everywhere on a mandatory basis. For example, data for engineering is often still available in proprietary file formats such as the edz format. The AmpereSoft tool system does justice to this.

Error messages, praise and criticism, suggestions for improvements: The opinion of our users is very important to us when it comes to further improving our ToolSystem. In order to be able to offer real added value with every release and every service pack, we depend on feedback from the practice. How do we gather this feedback? We ask – as in the case of the current survey on the topic of terminal configurators.

The year is coming to an end and many are now looking forward to Christmas – it is a time for wishes. With the AmpereSoft ToolSystem, we give switchgear planners the gift of being able to carry out their work digitally and conveniently. Every day we work on improvements and new functions for our CAE software. The goal: to make users happy. For example with the new version 2022.1, which is available now.

November usually means for AmpereSoft GmbH: It’s trade fair time. But in 2021 everything is different. Everything? No, because although we are not represented at the SPS this time, our customers and those who want to become customers benefit from great discounts on new purchases and upgrades during the trade fair month.
