Automate harness support and documentation
Harness Builder for E3.series supports the custom wire and cable harness market. This E3.series integrated module is purpose-built for harness manufacturers. Harness manufacturers are empowered to create accurate quotations/estimates, full nail board/pegboard documentation, drive testing, digital assembly, and automated wire preparation machines.
Quickly document a complete harness from drawings or wirelist. Manage datasheets and additional manufacturing instructions. Efficiently manage design variations with Dash number harness variables. Automatically drive pricing information, lead time, and assembly time calculations from design elements.
Automate harness support and documentation
Quickly generate accurate B.O.M., Wire lists, and cost estimates
Communicate with testing, wire processing, and automated assembly machines
Quickly produce manufacturing work instructions
Import from/to wiring lists directly and load parts, wires, and cables directly from the library. Automatically manage connector pin terminal selection based on wire size and connector type. Auto place labels, wire protection, tapes, and other accessories to further enhance the production quality of the harness. Create and drive test plans for automated harness testing machines from leading providers like Cirris, DIT-MCO, Dynalabs, CamiResearch, Nexeya, CKT Technologies, and more.
Harness Builder for E3.series creates time and cost estimates for a harness driven by selecting and placing connectors, terminals, wires, and cables. User-defined excel templates enable precise control over reporting formats and content. Automated B.O.M. driven by project data tracks all parts, wires, labels, splices, connector terminals, and accessories. The dash number function tracks multiple B.O.Ms options using the variable wire harness configurations set in the project, along with a summary of all possibilities.
E3.series offers a variety of solutions to improve the collaboration between MCAD and ECAD teams without redefining their respective roles. Intelligently verify and heal the most common 3D harness route segmentation issues without relying on the mechanical team.
The harness flattening functions simplify transitioning from a 3D harness export to a 2D formboard drawing. The connectivity between logical and physical architecture in E3.series improves data reliability with automatic updates across the entire project.
Easily drive automated wire harness testing machines directly from the design details. The export options for Cirris, DIT-MCO, Dynalabs, CamiResearch, Nexeya, CKT Technologies, and more provide an easy path to improved quality and time savings. Teams save time and effort by fully utilizing the data captured in the design to simplify the test creation process.
Zuken’s ever-expanding partnerships and connections enable wire harness designers to connect with leading testing machines to meet various industry requirements. The export and connection options provide solutions ranging from simple CSV exports to native data files for the devices.
Harness Builder for E3.series comes with component libraries containing thousands of detailed components to simplify the design process. The intelligent parts help automate wire sizing, reduce connectivity errors, and optimize terminal selection. The configurable parts library connects engineering with upstream and downstream business units. The centralized design library helps standardize parts and design practices across users and teams
Harness Builder for E3.series transforms manufacturing and assembly processes with the help of intelligent harness design data. The accurate digital data drives highly automated wire cutting and processing machines from vendors like Schleuniger, Komax, and Argus. Configurable output formats connect to leading labeling, marking, and other printing options for wires and devices. Quickly power next-generation augmented smart assembly-aids like ‘ProjectionWorks’ to enable the digital transformation of the manufacturing process.
Automatically generate a complete configuration Wire Run List (W.R.L.) driven by the project data. Various types of details, both explicit and implicit, are captured to maintain an up-to-date count of parts inside the project. The application captures insertion lengths at the connector and termination level to improve the accuracy of wire length calculations across the wire harness. The accuracy of wiring data enables wire processing and testing machines to improve quality, reduce effort, and implement design standards.
Simplify the time-consuming process of creating work instruction using the engineering data in harness builder for E3.series. Create, release, and manage work instruction packages to define the harness building process. Pre-built customizable work instruction templates ensure consistency across projects. Auto-actions trigger repeatable custom automation routines to assemble relevant assembly instructions. The combination of comprehensive reports and configurable reports improves quality and increases productivity.
