Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has launched eDesign, a web application dedicated to electricians that can be used to configure switchgear and switchboard, as well as generate the necessary documentation for residential projects.

The eDesign application helps to quickly design custom configurations according to customer specifications and based on real-time product availability, so that concrete offers can be sent to customers in a very short time.

What’s more, once a project has been completed, with all the updated links in Schneider’s product catalogues, it can be saved and used as such for similar homes or adapted as needed for homes with different partitioning.

“Many of the classic apartments built in Romania are similar in terms of surface area, partitioning and electrical requirements,” explains Victor Donici, Customer Software Specialist, Schneider Electric Romania. “In fact, with similar surface areas and number of rooms, the requirements for ultra-terminal switchgear and electrical panel are usually almost identical. This means that many of the projects can very easily be turned into concrete offers or tailored to meet customer requirements in a matter of minutes. For those who have large renovation or construction projects to manage, especially the quick budgeting part is extremely important and can be the determining factor in choosing an electrician’s offer. Extrapolating, it is also extremely useful for a developer to know very quickly what his budget would be for a few dozen apartments in a residential building or a residential complex.”

The main benefits of eDesign, listed by Schneider Electric experts, are as follows:

• Time saved – With an intuitive interface and easy-to-follow steps for setting up your home plan, eDesign is a complete solution for your electrical panel and ultra-terminal switchgear;
• Automatically generated documentation – Quantity lists, single-line drawings, identification labels and commercial offers are all automatically generated for easy transmission to distributors or customers;
• Front panel view – The application allows you to view the final configuration of the panel to decide the ideal position of the switchgear and optimize the available space;
• Access from anywhere – Projects can be saved in the cloud, much more easily and efficiently, and accessed from anywhere as a starting point for future projects.
