Zuken Launches Automatic Wiring Diagram Generation Tool
Zuken launches E³.Wiring Diagram Generator
Introducing the E³.Wiring Diagram Generator
May 18, 2010 – Munich, Germany and Westford, MA, USA – Zuken has introduced the E³.Wiring Diagram Generator, a new tool for the automatic creation of schematic wiring diagrams as part of the 2010 version of E³.series, the state-of-the-art solution for wiring, harnesses, cable, fluid, hydraulics, and panel design. The new module generates schematic wiring diagrams for engineering and after-sales documentation. These are created by following user-defined design rules and using existing netlist information from a basic CSV file - tasks that would have previously taken hours or days, now only take minutes.
Use in Electrical System Engineering
Using this method, FIAT has significantly reduced their electrical architecture design cycle.
Paolo Puiatti, Engineering & Design Electrical / Electronics – Power & Signal Distribution Manager at FIAT Group Automobiles comments, "Our objective three years ago was to reduce the electrical architecture design cycle for a new car by 20%, requiring no extra resources, just improved process and product development integration. E³.Wiring Diagram Generator is proving to be instrumental in making this possible."
Use for After Sales Integration
The introduction of this new module has been driven by customer demand, calling for a solution that will quickly draw a cable or wire harness system. In the automotive industry for example, electrical engineering system drawings historically had to be drawn manually for production documentation and service support, adding time and cost to the project. With this new module, an entire vehicle can be documented in just a few minutes rather than the hours or days it might take to draw the cable or wire harness system manually.
Use for System Migration
E³.Wiring Diagram Generator can be used as a design migration tool by accepting CSV format connection lists, which can be created manually or extracted from older outdated wiring tools. This speeds up the creation of new documentation without the need for labor-intensive redrawing of schematics or error-prone graphic file conversions.
Using the E³.Wiring Diagram Generator, drawings can be created in the E³.series format in a standardized layout. The resulting E³.series drawings can be used as the base for modification or new projects.
The E³.Wiring Diagram Generator will be available from May 2010, contact your local E³.series sales representative for more information or visit www.zuken.com/e3wiredgen

About E³.series:
E³.series is Zuken’s Windows-based modular, scalable and intuitive system for the engineering of electrotechnical, pneumatics and hydraulics applications; electronic components cabling and wiring harnesses. The sharing of a singular core object-orientated architecture that supports the entire engineering flow from concept creation through to manufacturing eliminates the need for data transfer between the different modules. This reduces errors, increases quality and allows engineering changes to be completed much more efficiently. E³.series can also be smoothly integrated with existing applications and processes through standard and customizable, bi-directional programmable interfaces.
