Managing Wire Harness Design Information

Wiring is a major deliverable in just about all electromechanical equipment. From airplanes to semiconductor capital equipment, the key component tying together all of the technological innovations in these machines is the wiring. Until recently wiring system design has merely been an afterthought, the last task accomplished after everything else has been completed. But as the level of complexity of these machines increases, so does the complexity of the wiring. Shrinking market windows and increased competition are causing a re-evaluation of all product development processes, and as a result, old manual methods for wire harness design are being replaced by new automated data-centric systems such as Linius Technologies' EMbassy software.
