ELECTRICAL CASE STUDY

Scope/requirements: 

To provide simplified version of wiring harness schematics from AutoCAD-to-AutoCAD electrical software for a crane machine. 

To deliver 2D harness with BoM with referencing SAE standards 

Output/Solution: 

• Created electrical schematic in Tabular version of interface Connection with point-to-point wire connections.
• Created symbol library referencing SAE standards
• Created 3D connector models in software
• Created harness model and drawing which can be used for manufacturing.

Tools Used: 

• 2D software: AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical
• 3D software: Inventor

Value Added in Harness Drawing: 

• Finalized harness schematic format in AutoCAD Electrical software and harness model with drawing format on 3D software
• Finalized WIRE LIST TABLE which is populated automatically on the drawing which also includes splice connection
• Finalized Tag wise BoM for harness which is populated automatically on the drawing
• Created connector symbols footprint library which can be used in splat harness
• Simplified harness schematic by dividing in multiple sheets for easy traceability and reading
• Added connector tables into splat harness drawing which includes connector, its part number, pin/cavity and wire/cable numbers
• Optimization and balancing of splices. Added splices into schematic and splat harness with its location
• Optimization of efforts and more control of designer over harness drawing
