Well, you\u2019ve got nothing to worry about! I\u2019ll walk you through and provide you with a guide to figuring it all out.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Complexity of the design process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The growing number of E\u00b3.series applications and options reflects the growing complexity of the electrical engineering process itself. The engineering process has become increasingly concurrent: activities that once were performed one after another can now be carried out simultaneously. In a certain sense, with its object-oriented architecture that enables parallel development of schematic planning, fluid cable planning, and even cabinet and harness layout, E\u00b3.series was one of the first engineering software products to fully embrace the trend of concurrent engineering.<\/p>\n<p>But the concurrent approach obviously does not stop at the doors of the electrical engineering department: With the growing electronic content of today\u2019s products comes the need to exchange information with mechanical engineering to explore such things as the best position of control units, establish wire lengths, position cable channels and calculate available diameters for wire bundles. These capabilities are provided by E\u00b3.series extensions such as E\u00b3.RoutingBridge or E\u00b3.PLCBridge. The first enables exchange of schematic and connection information with the MCAD world, and the latter supports parallel development of electrical, fluid engineering and PLC software. And finally, with applications like E\u00b3.ExportToKomax, E<sup>3<\/sup>.reports and E\u00b3.panel+ you can generate comprehensive outputs for NC machining, wire cutting and labelling and shop-floor instructions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Managing design data<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>But what about PLM \u2013 where does that come in? The answer is simple \u2013 with the increase in productivity enabled through applications like E\u00b3.series and the growing number of projects that are carried out in parallel, comes a third dimension: The need to track all design versions, revisions and modifications and make them available to your peers in mechanical engineering, production and assembly. These days this sort of information is frequently referred to as \u201cconstituents\u201d in the product development process. What once could be communicated by word of mouth from one desk to another, can no longer be maintained without elaborate data revision and routing mechanisms that make sure everybody\u2019s work is based on up-to-date information. If, in addition, your company is pursuing strategies such as reusing designs and modules or has geographically distributed engineering locations, reliable methods for tracking and documentation of versions, revisions and changes become vital.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Enter Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This is where PLM vendors typically enter the stage with the confident claim to manage everything \u2013 the cost of which would quickly be recovered in huge savings through the reduction of errors, acceleration of the time-to-market cycle etc. But be careful, the term \u201ceverything\u201d should be examined with great care! Managing \u201ceverything\u201d in electrical or electronic engineering often describes \u201cunintelligent\u201d, digitized information that documents your design as it was approved for production \u2013 in other words, a simple PDF. \u201cEverything\u201d does not automatically imply that you can query your system to find out in what project component XYZ is used, or what other projects need to be updated if you make a change in a design that has been reused several times in different projects.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Zuken chose to develop its own domain data management solutions based on the DS-2 platform, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.co.uk\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwi7vNC2ppPWAhUlLsAKHYQxDuIQFggoMAA&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zuken.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fengineering-data-management%2Fds-e3&amp;usg=AFQjCNHGcb7iLLW7cyy-vQhC0GhZar-MIw\">DS-E3<\/a>.
