About PROCAD Systems

The company's journey began in the early 1980s. Elprojektbyrån Möller & Olson AB had a need for its own electrical application program for electrical diagram construction internally within the company. This type of design program was unusual, but interest in the industry proved to be very high. To separate it from the electrical consulting business, but also to market and sell the program, a new company was formed; PROCAD Systems AB. The program was named ELPROCAD.

The program was shown commercially for the first time at the ELFACK trade fair in autumn 1985. The program immediately received a good response for its working methodology.

Program development continued over the years. Already in the 1980s, functions for device lists and automatic connection tables were added. The program was adapted to various operating systems such as DOS, Windows and Sun. When Autodesk released the simpler version of its program, AutoCAD LT, sales of ELPROCAD in combination with AutoCAD LT took off.

As a complement to our AutoCAD-based programs, we released ELPROCAD ic in 2004, which worked with the CAD program BricsCAD. ELPROCAD ic was intended for companies that wanted an integrated software package with both electrical application and CAD program at a good price. In 2008 we also released ELPROCAD ic Plan for installation drawings, ducting, power installation, lighting installation and telecommunications, which is also based on BricsCAD.

Since our entire ic family was based on the BricsCAD CAD engine, it was natural to deepen our collaboration with Bricsys. Since the 2000s, we at PROCAD Systems have been a partner company to Bricsys, and today we are a BricsCAD Solution Partner.

In 2015, we celebrated our 30th anniversary, and at the same time there was a change of ownership and a generational change of staff.
