Digitalizing the Electrical Discipline: Overcoming Wire Harness Design Complexity
Vehicle innovation is exploding, but packaging it isn’t. Discover how to leverage model-based automation to optimize wire connectivity, reduce program costs, and accelerate your time to market.
Modern electrical and electronic (E/E) systems are evolving at a breakneck pace. Today, roughly 80% of all product innovation and differentiation across vehicle platforms is driven by electrical systems, electronics, and software. But as electrical content grows, space inside vehicle platforms is simultaneously shrinking making wire harness design more pervasive and complex than ever before.
Relying on legacy manual data entry and disjointed point solutions doesn’t just create structural silos; it risks critical wiring design errors that threaten overall vehicle safety and project schedules.
The technical webinar “Business Planning at Hyper Speed in Power BI & Excel” presents a modern approach to vehicle electrification. Hosted by Erica Van Berkum, Technical Product Manager for Siemens’ Capital tool suite, this session details how to transition from traditional 2D drawing to intelligent, model-based design automation. Learn how to leverage a cohesive digital twin framework to unify your MCAD and PLM environments, validate multi-system performance in real time, and systematically eliminate electro-mechanical design conflicts before they derail your production calendar.
What You’ll Watch Inside the Webinar:
- Transcending Industry Trends: An analysis of the parallel pressures facing automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery manufacturing to reduce program costs and shorten development cycles.
- The Power of Generative Wiring: A live platform demonstration showing how to consume MCAD inputs and corporate IP to automatically generate cost-optimized wire connectivity.
- Real-Time Trade-Off Analysis: How to utilize interactive spider charts to instantly balance performance metrics like cost, weight, and key sustainability parameters (such as carbon footprint and recyclability) directly inside the engineering environment.
- Advanced EMI/EMC Simulation: Practical methodologies using Simcenter 3D to study high-voltage wiring cross-talk and mitigate electromagnetic susceptibility upfront.
- Granular Compliance & Verification: A breakdown of how to automate Design Rule Checks (DRCs) and enforce object-level user governance across global, concurrent engineering teams.
