You might have already tried free electrical drawing software, and that’s why you’re here. Basic features offer some value, but the electrical drawing software you use determines the efficiency, reliability, accuracy, and ultimately, the success of your designs. You need something more advanced. To make your choice easier, we’ve put together 5 key factors to […]
We recently conducted a Webinar on the traditional wire harness design process vs. applying the practical approach of using Arcadia. in case you missed it, check out this breakdown of what we covered. 1. Limitations of a Traditional Wire Harness Design Process Due to manual synchronisation between drawing cut lists, manufacturing documentation, and shop floor […]
Consider exactly what wire-harness solutions are: comprehensive systems that integrate electrical wires, cables, connectors, and other components into structured assemblies. They have to provide reliable and organized means of transmitting electrical signals and power in various applications. It’s complicated, in other words. If you’re working manually, the complexity only heightens, along with the costs. Working […]
Of all the types of electrical drawings, schematic diagrams are the most helpful for troubleshooting. A wiring diagram maker can give you the relative layout of the circuit components, and you can use symbols and components. But the wiring drawing by itself isn’t particularly easy for understanding circuit operation or troubleshooting. This is where a […]
ECAD and MCAD: Which to use and how to use them together When it comes to wire harness design, there are two primary types of software: Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) and Mechanical Computer-Aided Design (MCAD). These are essentially two different approaches to designing wire harnesses. ECAD software concentrates on designing the electrical components of a […]

If you can optimize the design process for your wire harness, you’ll gain significant cost reductions across the board, including testing and validation and your harness manufacturing. Simply put, optimizing at the design phase has a knock-on effect, speeding up the harness design cycle and improving your formboard while reducing design errors and quote-to-production cycle […]
It never hurts to remind yourself of the basics when it comes to designing your cable harness. For your application to function as intended, every component and cable assembly must be carefully considered. This goes for your wire harness. The use of all wire harness types can improve the efficiency, reliability, and safety of a […]
It’s clear from the frequent headlines that competing billionaires perceive space as the ultimate flex of their wealth and power. Although it’s cool to be a little churlish about these displays, there is no doubt that technologies and innovations will trickle down and drive demand for production. A large part of space and satellite systems […]
