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.

A long-term climate-neutral world: How this goal can be achieved with the help of industry was the topic of the recent Digital Innovation Summit DACH 2021. For this purpose, Schneider Electric invited experts from several important industries to find solutions for the arising challenges in presentations and discussion panels. AmpereSoft CEO Stefan Mülhens was also present and shared his expertise on digital processes and automation.

ECLASS: This is a cross-industry, standard-compliant and at the same time open standard for master data and semantics. It can be used to describe and classify goods and services worldwide, so that Industry 4.0 or the Internet of Things are within reach. But what is it about the standard and what concrete advantages does it offer for industry and engineering processes?

Collecting enquiries, researching data and materials, creating drafts and offers and finally the practical implementation: a complete engineering process is

ECLASS completes the dozen: since the first version of the classification standard was published in 2001, engineering processes and the
