one platform    two pillars

your eplan data and events, in one place.

byndr closes the text gaps in your EPLAN article database with a reviewed, validated loop — and routes EPLAN events to where your team actually looks. the cloud never writes to EPLAN directly.

the platform

Two pillars, one database.

byndr is a unified EPLAN platform. Both pillars share one tenant, one auth model, and the same hard boundary: the cloud never writes to EPLAN directly.

pillar 01 · data + gym

Close the gaps in your article data.

Ingest a read-only snapshot of your EPLAN article database. An LLM closes text gaps — translations, descriptions — against deterministic validators. Every change is reviewed like a pull request; a local client writes approved values back into EPLAN.

  • the model proposes, the validator decides
  • overlay only — ingested data is never mutated
  • approved changes flow back through a local client
how the gym works

pillar 02 · automations

Route EPLAN events where the team looks.

A PDF export, a BOM change, a project event — captured next to EPLAN and routed to the destinations your engineering team already watches: Microsoft Teams, email, a shared drive, or a plain webhook you control.

  • configured routes, not one-off macros
  • credentials stay server-side
  • a generic webhook forwards anywhere else
events & destinations
the shift

One platform instead of scattered fixes.

// today

  • Gappy article data

    Missing translations and descriptions patched by hand — spreadsheet round-trips, inconsistent wording, and gaps that differ language by language.

  • One-off local macros

    Export scripts living on a single workstation. You own the maintenance forever, and they break when a colleague changes machines.

  • Events trapped on the desktop

    A PDF or BOM export never leaves the CAD PC. Nobody downstream sees it unless someone remembers to attach it somewhere.

// with byndr

  • A reviewed enrichment loop

    The LLM proposes, deterministic server-side validators decide, and a human approves each change like a pull request — nothing is guessed into your database.

  • Configured routes, not code

    Point an EPLAN event at a destination and you're done. Turn a PDF export into a Teams notice or a webhook call in minutes.

  • The cloud never writes EPLAN

    byndr produces proposals and a write queue only. A small local client applies human-approved changes back into EPLAN — that boundary is a hard invariant.

data · gym

Close the gaps without guessing.

The gym is a loop, not a batch job. An LLM proposes text values; a deterministic validator is the only thing that can accept them; a human signs off before anything is written back.

  1. 01

    Ingest a snapshot

    A read-only copy of your article database is ingested into your private tenant. Real data stays yours — it never enters our repository.

  2. 02

    The LLM proposes

    Through an MCP server, a model reads article context and submits a value for a missing translation or description. It only ever proposes.

  3. 03

    Validators decide

    Deterministic, server-side checks accept or reject each value. The model proposes; the server decides. No value is taken on trust.

  4. 04

    Review like a pull request

    A human approves or rejects each proposal. Approved ones enter a write queue; rejected ones close the loop with feedback.

  5. 05

    A local client writes back

    A small client next to EPLAN polls the queue and applies only approved changes. The cloud never writes to EPLAN directly.

overlay, never mutation — the gym's only output is proposal rows. your ingested data is read-only.

events · automations

What your EPLAN can trigger.

Each event maps to a real EPLAN API action — including the ones most integrations never touch.

  • pdf-exported targeted

    PDF exported

    Fires when a schematic or documentation PDF is exported from a project.

    action export · PDF

  • bom-exported targeted

    BOM / parts list exported

    Fires when a bill of materials, parts list or terminal label is exported.

    action label

  • project-closed targeted

    Project closed

    Fires when a project is closed — useful for sign-off and archival flows.

    event lifecycle

  • dxf-dwg-exported coming soon

    DXF / DWG exported

    Fires when pages or the project are exported to DXF or DWG for mechanical or client hand-off.

    action export · DXF/DWG

  • project-backed-up coming soon

    Project backed up

    Fires when a project backup (.zw1) is created — ready for off-site archival.

    action backup

  • wiring-exported coming soon

    Production wiring exported

    Fires when production wiring data is exported for the machine build.

    action ExportProductionWiring

destinations · dst

Where it goes — tools OT teams use.

  • Microsoft Teams

    Post a message to a channel on every event.

  • Email

    Send the export to a distribution list or an inbox.

  • Shared drive

    Drop the exported file onto a network share via a small local agent.

  • Webhook

    POST the payload to any HTTP endpoint you control — forward it anywhere.

no slack — by design. OT and engineering teams run on Microsoft Teams, email and their own file shares. A generic webhook forwards the payload anywhere else.

how it works

Small clients next to EPLAN, one cloud.

Both pillars share the same shape: lightweight clients on the desktop, a per-tenant cloud that coordinates, and a hard rule that only a local client ever writes to EPLAN.

  1. 01

    Clients run next to EPLAN

    A snapshot client, an event client, and a write client — each doing one small job on the machine that runs EPLAN. Nobody changes how they work.

  2. 02

    The cloud coordinates

    Per-tenant, byndr ingests articles, runs the gym's deterministic validators, dispatches events, and holds the write queue. Credentials stay server-side.

  3. 03

    Approved changes flow back

    The write client polls for human-approved changes and applies them in EPLAN. The cloud never writes to EPLAN directly — that boundary is fixed.

early access

byndr is in early access.

No pricing yet, and no sign-up wall. If you run EPLAN and want to try the data loop or the automations, join the early-access list and help shape what ships first. Early members help set where this goes.

Open source, self-hostable

byndr runs on Cloudflare (Workers + D1 + Durable Objects). Deploy it to your own account, or wait for the hosted option.

Per-tenant from day one

One tenant, one auth model, both pillars. Your setup is isolated from everyone else's.

You bring your own data

Real article data lives in your private database — never in our repository. The gym only ever proposes.

faq

Straight answers.

Which EPLAN tools do you support?

EPLAN Electric P8 is the first target. The clients are small and single-purpose, and the platform is designed so other EPLAN tools and event sources can be added the same way.

Does the cloud ever write to my EPLAN database?

No. The cloud only produces proposals and a write queue. A local client next to EPLAN applies human-approved changes. That boundary is a hard invariant — nothing in the cloud touches EPLAN directly.

How does the gym avoid bad data?

The LLM only proposes. Deterministic, server-side validators decide whether a value is acceptable, and a human reviews every proposal like a pull request before anything is queued. The gym is overlay-only: it never mutates your ingested data.

Where does my article data live?

In your own per-tenant database. Real article data never enters our repository — you bring your own, and it stays yours.

Why no Slack?

Because OT and engineering teams don't run on Slack. byndr targets the tools they actually use — Microsoft Teams, email, and shared drives — with a generic webhook for anything else.

Is it really self-hostable?

Yes. byndr runs on Cloudflare (Workers + D1 + Durable Objects); you can deploy it to your own account. It's open source under the MIT licence, and a fully-local runtime is on the roadmap.
