Wire harness design within the fuselage of an aircraft

Electrification of aerospace and defense platforms has grown exponentially to meet the needs for more features and functionality required by demanding missions. Today there is a significant focus on logical design activities associated with the development of the platform electrical system, its functions and software and interconnections between components. Sometimes, the effort to accomplish the physical implementation, by way of wiring and component installation, and the challenges associated with developing and fabricating the wire harnesses that connect the system elements together are less appreciated.

This webinar will discuss how improving your harness design tools and processes will enable you to meet these challenges and bring success to your business. Complete the form now to register.

Aircraft E/E systems challenges

The aerospace industry demands more than just increased electrification. In addition, aircraft versions, increased regulatory product and process requirements and global competition are forcing the use of holistic systems that provide data transparency and configurability assured by seamless data flow (digital continuity).

Solid and robust harness design forms the foundation of reliable, cost-effective and successful product manufacturing. As the platform develops from the virtual to a physical product, the use of a digital twin brings many critical advantages to the design of wire harnesses that are essential in modern aerospace and defense (A&D) products.

Digital twin role in E/E systems development

In an industry where traceability and data reliability are critical, there is a growing move away from traditional disjointed systems that are unable to keep up with the increased complexity. There is movement toward digitalization and use of advanced tools and processes to utilize the digital twin in E/E systems development. This in turn can help realize:

  • Higher quality due to rejection of error-prone manual methods
  • Assurance of data correctness when not exposed to manual iterations
  • The accomplishment of urgent updates with faster connected processes
  • Increased management of growing complexity
