August 23, 2012 8:55 am

Solution provider Eplan has taken over the development and sales rights to Harness Expert, the established 3D/2D software for cable harness engineering. This extension to its range would allow Eplan to offer its customers even more comprehensive support for all aspects of cable project management.
The strategic purchase of the Harness Expert software will provide considerable potential in the domestic and international markets. It would allow Eplan to tackle new segments of industry, including apparatus engineering, rail and specialist vehicle technology, aviation, telecommunications and medical technology. At the same time, there is an increasing demand from within its own customer base for the implementation of 1:1 connections via cable harnesses, as the number of circuit-board based units in control cabinets and devices is increasing constantly. This new software is the perfect complement to Eplan Electric P8, the company’s own CAE solution which has previously handled the engineering of single wires and sheathed cables in the control cabinet and field components. Customers can benefit from this consistent process integration, as all phases of the engineering process are supported, from planning through engineering through to cable harness design and production.
Open for the IT marketHarness Expert is an easy-to-use software suite which fully supports all aspects of cable harness engineering. Typical harness or wiring loom design processes are shown by the software in 3D. All 2D production documents are produced by the system, which allows comprehensive openness when it comes to the import and export of third-party systems in design, administration and production. Integration between Eplan Electric P8 and Harness Expert provides all relevant wiring information, such as wire specifications, source/target information and bundle and socket assignments. This integrative workflow reduces engineering time and costs.
