Wire harness manufacturing is a low-margin business faced with creating complex products amid evolving electrical innovations and design uncertainty. But what does than include? How can the industry face challenges head-on with advanced solutions? Read on to find out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although wire harness manufacturing has been around for more than a century, today’s manufacturers face myriad challenges with low margins, loss of tribal knowledge, complex processes, continuous change and stringent requirements for quality and delivery. By implementing model-based workflows, manufacturers can unify previously fragmented design and manufacturing domains by automating data exchange and facilitating cross-domain decisions. Through the integration of design rules that support automation and consistency across the engineering process, tribal knowledge can be captured instead of lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Replacing antiquated manufacturing engineering tools and methods while continuing the flow of design data is possible with digital twin technology. This is vital for efficiency and cost-effective manufacturing. As a result, more and more companies rely on a comprehensive digital twin in the wiring harness design<\/a> process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most vehicle manufacturers, for example, have implemented a full lifecycle digital twin to maintain traceability of a vehicle’s design, manufacturing and usage processes. With a comprehensive digital twin comprising a validated harness model and a digitized manufacturing process model, companies can transform engineering, costing and manufacturing performance \u2013 ultimately boosting profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While digitalization is an essential step toward the implementation and realization of Industry 4.0, the success of harness manufacturers is dependent upon the ability to accurately design, optimize and cost the manufacturing processes, labor, material and resources required to produce wire harnesses. Wiring design software, including Siemens Capital\u2122 software suite<\/a>, enables harness designers to accomplish these goals, with the potential to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more on our website\u2192 What is wire harness engineering?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And when you are ready for the next level, check out our harness blog series: <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wire harness manufacturing is a low-margin business faced with creating complex products amid evolving electrical innovations and design uncertainty.
