Aerospace journey from harness design to formboard

Harness manufacturing remains a largely manual process, with operators on the production floor assembling harnesses by connecting cables sequentially. It's crucial that this process is executed optimally, ensuring cost-effectiveness and adherence to the necessary quality standards.

Conversely, companies in the wiring harness sector must stay abreast of industry trends. The growing complexity of systems compels these companies to seek innovative solutions for managing the escalating volumes of data. Systems under design are required to comply not only with rigorous quality and product certification standards but also with environmental regulations. While such systems may progress to production, they could still face challenges related to the global workforce and supply chain issues.

So how do you meet such issues?

Any company aiming to manage these requirements must undergo a digital transformation. The Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, including Capital, provides a complete model-based solution for E/E system development, supported by a virtual twin. The end-to-end process covers the entire product lifecycle from early design to production and service domains, accelerating ramp-up and ensuring traceability at every stage.

This facilitates the efficient handling of substantial data volumes, harness designs and their precise tailoring to meet production demands. The goal is to produce a high-quality product, ensure timely delivery and maintain profitability in production.

Preparing the data for production involves more than just determining the correct sequence; it starts at the initial harness design stage. This webinar will guide you through the harness data preparation process to ensure that the resulting formboard facilitates an efficient production workflow.
