If you’re reading this, then you’re already intrigued by how ECAD best practices can help you design a wire harness more efficiently and accurately. Transitioning from manual wire harness design to using electronic CAD software is a rewarding journey, but that doesn’t mean you’re not nervous about it. Even if you know it will improve […]
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 in discussing what to consider when migrating to a specialized harness design suite. 1. Limitations of a Traditional Wire Harness Design Process […]
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 […]
