Model Based Engineering for Wire Harness Manufacturing

Modern cars, trucks, and other vehicles feature an ever-increasing number of sophisticated electrical and electronic features, placing a larger burden on the wiring harness that enables these new features. As complexity rises, current harness manufacturing methods are struggling to keep pace due to manual data exchanges and the inability to capture tribal knowledge.

A model-based wire harness manufacturing engineering flow automates data exchange and captures tribal knowledge through design rules to help harness manufacturers improve harness quality and boost efficiency.

• Digitalization: Digital models become the authoritative information source driving all downstream implementation steps.
• Automation: Transformation into subsequent forms is significantly automated to create correct-by-construction outcomes.
• Data Reuse: A core MBE tenet data created once is reused to the greatest extent possible by all downstream consumers.
