Machinery & Plant Construction
cofaso® for the machinery and plant construction industry
Engineering Efficiency for Complex Systems
The machinery and plant construction industry forms the backbone of industrial production worldwide. From the development of single-purpose machines to the installation of fully integrated production lines and turnkey plants, this sector demands precision, flexibility, and a high degree of customization. Electrical and automation systems play a critical role in ensuring these complex systems function reliably, efficiently, and safely.
In today’s competitive and fast-paced market, engineering teams must manage increasing complexity while reducing project timelines, minimizing errors, and ensuring compliance with international standards. Whether building a packaging machine, a conveyor system, or an entire process plant, the need for standardized, efficient, and scalable engineering processes is more important than ever.
Better Design, Better Process, Better Results
Modular Engineering: Design modular systems with reusable components and templates that support consistent designs across various machines and installations. This modularity improves scalability, shortens design cycles, and simplifies future modifications.
Accelerated Commissioning: Predefined logic elements, automated wiring diagrams, and clear documentation help reduce commissioning times and ensure a smooth handover from engineering to production teams.
Change Management & Revision Control: Efficiently handle design changes with version tracking, change documentation, and built-in audit trails—critical for managing iterative development and customer-specific adaptations.
- Cost Control Through Early Detection: Built-in verification tools help detect design flaws, mismatched components, or compliance issues early in the engineering process, reducing expensive corrections during production or installation.
-
Cross-Department Collaboration: Facilitate smooth cooperation between mechanical, electrical, and automation engineers through centralized data management and project structures, leading to better-aligned designs and fewer interdisciplinary conflicts.
Engineering Digitalization in Machinery & Plant Construction
Digitalization is rapidly reshaping the machinery and plant construction landscape. Complex production lines and smart machines require detailed coordination between mechanical design, control engineering, and IT systems. cofaso® supports this transformation by offering an integrated engineering platform that connects all phases of a project—from planning and design to implementation and maintenance.
By enabling the digital twin approach and fostering data continuity, cofaso® empowers engineering teams to validate designs before physical deployment. This results in faster development cycles, fewer errors, and a significant reduction in time-to-market.
Engineering Automation for Precision and Performance
In machinery and plant engineering, every second of downtime or design flaw can lead to major cost implications. cofaso® ensures engineering consistency and traceability by automating routine design tasks and enforcing project standards. Engineers can define symbol libraries, device naming conventions, and rule sets that guarantee compliance with both industry regulations and client-specific requirements.
Through automation, cofaso® enhances precision, boosts team productivity, and enables rapid adaptation to project-specific needs—whether you're building a high-speed bottling machine, a multi-axis packaging system, or a fully integrated plant-wide control system.
