Why wire harnesses (instead of “normal” cables)?

4

1. Optimisation of space (e.g. fitting space in vehicles)

2. Weight optimisation

3. Increasing number of PCB-based modules, even in switching cabinets

4. Optimum coverage of requirements in respect of electrical connections (degree of protection, mechanical load, ambient influences)

5. Pre-assembly becomes economically feasible, even in smaller batches

Quick creation from Draft and Sketches without a single wire or component appearing in the design

Rapid Prototyping speeds up the preliminary generation of the cable harness considerably

EPLAN Harness Expert offers the option to substitute the dummy objects at a later stage of the design process with real objects, developing the cable harness further, right up to the point of production.

Summary

One Stand-Alone Software Suite for the whole 3D/2D harness design process.

Variants and Options deliver a high degree of design flexibility.

Quality improvement through the automatic generation of delivery data and material calculations from the layout.

Rapid Prototyping shorten and simplify the design process, allowing a flexible design and reducing the development costs.

Potential for optimization (future) through the possibility to work in a special 2D environment – but also in 3D if necessary.

Detailed manufacturing documents for a more closely and effectively cooperation between harness producers and OEM.

Easy to learn and very easy to use – Steep learning curve (Focus).
