The wire harness manufacturing sector, with roots stretching back
over a hundred years, is currently grappling with a perfect storm of challenges.
These include diminishing profits, loss of crucial tribal knowledge,
convoluted processes, relentless market evolution, and ever-increasing demands
for quality and timely delivery. The implementation of model-based workflows
offers a beacon of hope, enabling manufacturers to seamlessly integrate
previously disconnected design and manufacturing realms.
This integration facilitates automated data exchange and promotes informed
decision-making across various departments. Moreover, by incorporating
design rules that enhance automation and maintain consistency throughout
the engineering process, companies can effectively capture and preserve vital tribal knowledge for future use.
These are the Capital product families that deliver the capabilities we’ve just been describing.
Early validation of E/E architecture in context of the mechanical digital twin
Integration with NX enables analysis and optimization of electrical distribution/routing
2D harness structure driven directly from NX ensures alignment between two disciplines
Change management enables concurrent design and intelligent merging of models
All through the development process and into service Capital enables continuous verification.
E/E Systems are part of a wider program lifecycle within organisations and we provide deep integrations into PLM systems such as Teamcenter and other necessary domains throughout the product development process. With the exploding complexity of E/E Systems, development happens in the context of Model-Based Systems Engineering. To deliver this we integrate into other domains to deliver a truly integrated system development, including MCAD, PLM and ALM systems.
