Wire Harness Design and Manufacturing Ecosystem

The increasing complexity and demand for wire harnesses are changing the competitive landscape. The traditional manual, labor-intensive wire harness design and manufacturing processes are largely obsolete. An efficient wire harness design for the manufacturing process needs a solid ecosystem of intelligent systems collaborating to produce the best results in the least time at the lowest price.

The E3.series wire harness ecosystem empowers wire harness engineers to take advantage of innovative automated test, assembly and manufacturing solutions to stay ahead of the competition.

Cabinet Design and Manufacturing Ecosystem

Electrical panels are the nerve center of complex control systems like switchgear, PLCs, motor control centers, and power distribution systems. Implementing design-for-manufacture principles improves a panel’s form, fit, and function significantly. In addition, the solutions of the Smart Cabinet Building Initiative can be applied to streamline and optimize the entire process from development to service.

E3.series simultaneously represents a panel in both 2D and 3D, eliminating the need to learn complex 3D mechanical tools. The manufacturing data captured in the project powers automated manufacturing, wiring, and assembly solutions from leading industry partners.

Take the E3.series Electrical Design Software Tour

E3.series is a leading single-platform electrical CAD software capable of taking a design from concept to manufacture. E3.series encompasses all aspects of electrical design:

  • electrical simulation
  • detailed schematic
  • wiring diagram
  • cabinet layout
  • formboard
  • reports, and manufacturing documentation.

E3.series object-oriented database architecture ensures that any update made in one part of the design is automatically reflected across all related documents and views, maintaining consistency and accuracy throughout the project​​.

E3.series - Core Products

E3.schematic is at the core of all E3.series deployments, providing a comprehensive solution for electrical system design, including schematic diagrams, terminal plans, and PLC documentation. This central module boosts design accuracy and efficiency with real-time design rule checks and a smart parts library. Its object-oriented architecture ensures that manufacturing instructions remain in sync with design data, simplifying the creation and documentation of complex electrical systems​​.

E3.schematic

E3.cable is used to design and document cable plans and cable harness drawings. E3.cable is an extension of E3.schematic to combine individual wires into multicores or cable bundles, add shielding and twisted pair structures to the multicores, and automatically display them in the schematic. Complete systems and subsystems such as control units, rack equipment, or even black boxes can be replicated as functional blocks in a hierarchical design.

E3.cable

E3.RoutingBridge enhances collaboration between electrical and mechanical design teams. It integrates electrical harness data with MCAD systems for accurate 3D routing and provides feedback to E3.series for final manufacturing details, ensuring synchronized designs whilst improving accuracy and efficiency in product development.

E3.RoutingBridge

E3.panel enables engineers to layout components within control cabinets in both 2D and 3D. The signal logic is inherited from the E3.schematic circuit diagram. Wires can be routed automatically through in the control cabinet by means of an auto-routing function. With special links to the wire processing machines, wires can be automatically stripped, crimped and marked. With these features, E3.panel provides an integrated engineering solution for advanced control cabinet engineering.

E3.panel

E3.fluid is the solution for designing and documenting all fluid systems. It is a complete, easy-to-use solution with core functionality optimized for developing hydraulic, pneumatic, cooling, and lubrication systems.
