For the electrical engineering section of its market-leading power supply systems, Benning GmbH & Co. KG has opted for the design software package Engineering Base (EB) from AUCOTEC. The complexity and continuous advancement of the Benning portfolio for industry, power plants, telecommunication, and vehicles as well as for rail and air traffic safety require an absolutely safe, flexible, and future-oriented engineering tool. After a thorough comparison, the job was awarded to the latest software generation from AUCOTEC, which convinced the Benning engineers also with its workflow orientation.

With the EB branch solution, the complete engineering process of typical electrical engineering tasks can be efficiently mapped. The tool supports the use of ERP data, a comfortable variant and option selection, ECAE-compatible component data, the fastest possible bus or PLC/DCS configuration, as well as a highly automated cabinet design. Finally, Engineering Base rounds off the workflow with an intelligent final documentation with easy navigation and the most advanced, drawing-independent revision technology.

The Engineering Base Interface is compartible to SolidWorks 2012 and earlier versions.
