New: ipf product selector on the EPLAN Data Portal

ipf electronic is one of the first companies to be represented in the new product selection aids on the EPLAN Data Portal.

Via these selection aids, users can now find components from manufacturers even more quickly in order to integrate them directly into their specific EPLAN projects.

The IPF product selector with selected components is now available directly via the product selection aids and thus enables a targeted search for a suitable component for a project created with EPLAN. This makes ipf electronic one of the first companies to participate in this new service.

The search for the right component can also be refined by displaying and selecting further technical properties. The component macro can then be downloaded, transferred to the local parts management system and integrated into the EPLAN project either instantaneously or at a later date.

The EPLAN Data Portal, which has been part of the EPLAN ePulse cloud environment for some time, now contains via 1 million components from more than 300 manufacturers. ipf electronic has been offering more than 1,200 product macros on the portal since the beginning of 2020, all of which comply with the EPLAN Data Standard (EDS) introduced at the end of 2019. This standard describes for manufacturers which component data should be provided in which form on the Data Portal and shows applications that the selected components provide a complete data set in accordance with EDS.

"We were one of the first companies whose data met the EDS quality requirements. As we have a wide range of solutions, particularly for enclosure peripherals, and our digital data management also met all the requirements for rapid implementation in the product selection tool on the EPLAN Data Portal, we were an instant participant. In this way, we are making it even easier for users to access our range," says Christian Fiebach, Managing Director of ipf electronic.
