AREVA T&D Agree Six-Year Global E³.series Deal
Zuken have signed a global deal to supply E³.series software to AREVA Transmission and Distribution (T&D) Product Line Primary Distribution Systems (PDS).
July 31st, 2007 - Munich, Germany and Westford, MA, USA – CIM-Team and parent company Zuken have signed deals to supply E³.series software to AREVA Transmission and Distribution (T&D) Product Line Primary Distribution Systems (PDS). The roll out of E³.series software has begun with full adoption in Germany, France and the UK, with further global expansion planned for the near future. This is estimated to result in the purchase of up to 160 licenses during the course of the initial six-years of this partnership.
AREVA T&D Product Line Primary Distribution Systems is rolling out E³.series software with the objective of having a global approach to ECAD that will enable them to standardize their processes, while allowing for a degree of localized flexibility, drive down costs and allow them to design anywhere and manufacture anywhere. Mr Pfitzenmaier, PDS Director Sales & Engineering Process, explains what this will mean for the Product Line. “This globalized approach to ECAD using E³.series will reap many productivity savings; this not only helps increase efficiency at the design stage, but also provides the extra design and parts information that allows us to refine our production techniques.”
Working with people from Zuken, CIM-Team and a reseller, AREVA T&D completed localized benchmarking exercises in Germany , France and the UK during the first half of 2005. This was proceeded by a common benchmark in June 2005, when the final decision was made to select E³ over competitor solutions. The deciding factors for selecting E³ came down to the solution’s flexibility, ease of use, integration simplicity, and functionality that would allow a multi-user approach with a shared database for all designs and associated parts and components.
“I can see so many benefits and am really looking forward to experiencing the massive money saving benefits that implementing E³.series software will deliver to our design process.” said Mr Pfitzenmaier.
“We needed a solution that would allow us to work faster and more efficiently while guaranteeing high quality. The technological superiority of E³.series will deliver this, plus so much more,” He added.
Together, E³.panel and E³.schematic work hand in hand to provide a comprehensive solution for placement and wiring of devices in panels on mounting plates. AREVA T&D Product Line Primary Distribution Systems will be using these two tools in combination with customized add-ons for designing low voltage transmission and distribution equipment.
