Common Use Cases for Electrical System Design
WireIt's wiring harness software is designed to handle a variety of electrical engineering scenarios. Here are typical applications and workflows our tool supports.
Complex Multi-Zone Electrical Systems
Aerospace, Defense, Industrial Equipment
Typical Scenario
Large-scale electrical systems with multiple zones, hundreds of connectors, and thousands of wire terminations. These projects require meticulous documentation, traceability, and detailed manufacturing specifications.
How WireIt Helps
- •Create hierarchical component libraries for reusable assemblies
- •Design functional architecture with automated signal flow tracking
- •Generate zone-specific harness diagrams with automatic wire numbering
- •Produce compliance-ready documentation with material traceability
- •Export manufacturing-ready cutlists and assembly drawings
Electric Vehicle High-Voltage Systems
Automotive | EV Battery Systems | Power Distribution
Typical Scenario
High-voltage wiring harness design for battery management systems, including safety interlocks, current sensors, and thermal management. These projects require careful attention to high DC voltage distribution and safety requirements.
How WireIt Helps
- •Calculate wire gauge based on current carrying capacity and voltage drop requirements
- •Specify high-voltage cable requirements with insulation class validation
- •Document safety interlock circuits with built-in design rule validation
- •Plan shielding and grounding strategies
- •Generate documentation suitable for safety analysis (FMEA)
Industrial Control Panel Design
Manufacturing | Machine Tools | Industrial Automation
Typical Scenario
Control panel designs for CNC machines, robots, and automated production equipment. Projects typically include servo drives, safety relays, industrial networking, and three-phase power distribution with multiple product variants.
How WireIt Helps
- •Build modular component libraries for easy variant management
- •Automate terminal block assignment and wire routing
- •Manage three-phase power distribution with proper color coding
- •Validate safety circuit compliance (EN ISO 13849) in real-time
- •Create standardized documentation templates across product variants
Typical Design Workflow
1. Library Setup
Create reusable component libraries for connectors, cables, and devices. Define part numbers, specifications, and supplier information once—use across multiple projects.
2. Functional Design
Map out system architecture, signal flows, and power distribution at a high level before diving into detailed harness routing. Catch architecture issues early in the process.
3. Harness Routing
Design physical cable paths, bundle wires into harnesses, and place connectors. WireIt automatically generates wire numbers and validates connections in real-time.
4. Production Export
Generate BOMs, cutlists, assembly drawings, and splice tables. Export to PDF, CSV, or JSON formats for downstream manufacturing systems.
