Experience digital-based panel building in Booth #1021

Weidmuller USA, a leading provider of smart industrial connectivity and automation products and solutions headquartered in Richmond, Va., has strengthened its partnership with Eplan to dramatically impact efficiency of the cabinet building process from start to finish.

EWPTE Highlight

Weidmuller and Eplan will feature simulated, digital-based panel building at the EWPTE EXPO 2026. Visitors to Booth #1021 can move from station to station for a fully digital and connected shop floor experience, showing how engineering data drives every stage of panel building from printing, wiring and engineering to final assembly.

Known for its ability to automate complex tasks in the electrical design process, Eplan is now integrated into Weidmuller’s desktop-based and new Online Configurator (WMC), an innovative and powerful configuration tool that makes designing DIN rail configurations fast, easy and accessible anywhere, on any device.

  • AutoCAD Electrical interface for even greater efficiency in panel building
  • Zuken
  • ETAP
  • SDProget
  • Excel format (CSV) for flexible import off any system

At EWPTE, Eplan will highlight key features that maximize cabinet building efficiency, including:

  • Smart planning, powerful tools and automation perfectly aligned
  • Fewer errors, faster execution and uninterrupted workflow
  • A smooth, end-to-end process – from the first click to the final screw
  • Solutions engineered to boost productivity, quality and flexibility
  • Seamless integration of hardware, software and workshop accessories for efficient production

“Eplan simplifies digital assembly processes from start to finished cabinet, so panel builders can say goodbye to cabinet inefficiencies,” said Carlus Hicks, Senior Director – Cabinet Products Division at Weidmuller USA.
