Paperless maintenance:
Give service technicians quick and easy access to electrical documentation
Put an end to paperwork. In addition to helping you with your electrical designs, we’re also happy to support you in making your maintenance and servicing processes completely digital. This way your service technicians can keep track of everything and react quickly in the event of a malfunction or for regular maintenance.
Where is your plant operations heading?
Let’s take the journey together!
Maintenance and servicing requiring painstaking searches? It doesn’t have to be this way!
As a plant operator, do you always have an overview of which information your service technicians require to be able to troubleshoot easily and perform maintenance work quickly?
Highly detailed plant system documentation is only helpful during operations when your technician also has access to it. If technicians must first search for the appropriate and most up-to-date documents, and can only find what they need after making several phone calls, then even small jobs can lead to long and aggravating downtimes. Now every minute counts, because any downtime costs us a lot of money!
Paperless maintenance – make schematics available anywhere at any time
Your complete electrotechnical documentation can be made available to your service technicians regardless of location, without them needing their own software licences. All it takes is glance at a tablet computer to find the appropriate part of the schematics, directly next to the respective plant systems. Changes such as replacing a component can then be noted directly in the schematics, transferred to the electrical design team, and reworked there.
Advantages of digital maintenance for plant operators
- Make up-to-date electrical documentation easily available
- Seamless documentation and communication of changes
- Establish traceable change processes
- Comprehensive support for servicing and maintenance
⇒ Simple commissioning and efficient maintenance
Advantages of digital maintenance for service technicians
- Clear information in the event of maintenance or malfunctions
- Easy access to documentation from anywhere, without a software licence
- Any changes can be centrally noted in the schematics
- Fast checking and adaptation of the schematics in dialogue with engineering
⇒ Optimal support for all service tasks
Three good reasons to implement paperless servicing and maintenance
Put an end to chaos in documentation! Your service technicians will always have an overview of the latest documentation for your equipment using these tips and tricks.
Reducing downtimes, optimising workflows
“In an automated warehouse, any downtime can seriously impact the business particularly as every one of our UK stores needs a daily delivery”, says TJ Morris Head of Engineering & Facilities Matthew Mercer.
“In such a fast-moving environment we require optimal working practices. By using EPLAN, we’re reducing fault-finding time, which has had a knock-on, positive impact on business continuity and operations costs.”

Implement digital maintenance processes using EPLAN
Reap the benefits of data consistency across the EPLAN solutions to make your schematics available right through to servicing and maintenance.
- For instance, you can implement your electrical designs using EPLAN Electric P8. Additional disciplines such as fluid-power technology and process automation can also be integrated.
- The EPLAN Data Portal provides millions of devices and associated data from the most popular manufacturers that can be directly incorporated into your plant system documentation.
- EPLAN eMANAGE helps make your documentation centrally available in the cloud for all project stakeholders.
- EPLAN eVIEW lets service technicians access documentation and create redlines with comments.
View digital schematics anywhere, easily note and share changes
Make your schematics available for service technicians, even without an EPLAN licence. Changes made can still be documented onsite in the schematics using the redlining function. Electrical design engineers can check the changes and update your documentation in an instant. If the system is marked with a QR code, this can easily be scanned to call up the appropriate schematics.
