Modern cars, trucks and other vehicles have more and more sophisticated electrical and electronic functions, placing a greater burden on the wiring harnesses that support these new functions. As complexity increases, current harness manufacturing methods are unsustainable due to the manual exchange of data and the inability to capture tribal culture. Model-based harness manufacturing engineering processes automate data exchange and capture tribal culture through design rules, helping manufacturers improve harness quality and increase efficiency.
Today’s passenger cars, recreational vehicles and commercial vehicles are no longer just mechatronics. Modern cars are equipped with a dizzying array of electronic features and components. Everything from standard comfort and quality of life features such as heated seats, air conditioning and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), to limited automation and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
