Digitalisation with AI: From PDF schematic to editable EPLAN project.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Our in-house developed AI converts PDF schematics into fully editable EPLAN Electric P8 projects - with recognised IEC symbols, BMK and texts. Faster than manual tracing, scalable to thousands of pages and economical even with large documentation inventories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For companies with extensive as-built documentation - and for switchgear manufacturers, engineering offices and service providers with EPLAN expertise who regularly process their customers' paper or PDF documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Making inventory documentation editable again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether it's an old system takeover, modernisation project or control cabinet renewal: In many projects, schematics are only available as paper or PDF files. Before the actual work can begin - expansion, conversion, modernisation - existing plans first have to be redrawn manually in EPLAN. This costs days, sometimes weeks of unproductive preparatory work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SchematicVision takes care of this step: Our AI automatically converts PDF schematic pages into editable EPLAN Electric P8 projects - including IEC symbol recognition, BMK and the existing texts. This allows you to start the actual engineering work straight away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

AI-enabled speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SchematicVision GmbH's proprietary AI digitises schematic pages many times faster than manual tracing. Projects with hundreds or thousands of pages are digitised in a fraction of the usual time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Fully editable EPLAN project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The result is not a static file, but a fully-fledged EPLAN Electric P8 project with recognised IEC symbols, symbol naming and connection logic - ready for immediate further processing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Economical even with large volumes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The AI's high degree of automation significantly reduces the costs per page. This makes the digitisation of large volumes of documentation economically viable for the first time - even with thousands of pages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Integration into your base project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On request, the digitised pages can be integrated directly into your existing EPLAN base project - with a coordinated plot frame and your company-specific standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Submit PDF documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Send us 10 to 20 representative PDF schematic pages via the contact form. On this basis, we will evaluate the scan quality, degree of automation and scope of the project - and prepare a sound initial assessment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

AI digitalisation and quality assurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our AI recognises IEC symbols, texts, labels and wiring and generates an EPLAN Electric P8 project from them. Each project undergoes an internal quality check before it is handed over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Handover as EPLAN project backup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You receive an EPLAN project backup (*.zw1) - ready for immediate use in EPLAN Electric P8. On request, directly based on your submitted basic project with your plot frame and standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Requirements and transparency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A prerequisite for AI-supported digitisation is that the PDF schematic pages were originally created in EPLAN. Only then can the AI reliably recognise the IEC symbols and structures and transfer them into an editable EPLAN project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individual content such as macros (PLC cards), graphical representations (front views) or handwritten red pencil entries require manual reworking. This is communicated transparently as part of the initial assessment. Further details can be found in the FAQ<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
