The development of SchemBAT, a building electrical CAD software, results from collaboration between FTZ's developers, specialized engineering offices, and design firms. It enables users to create, modify, and manage all types of electrical layout plans and wiring diagrams, whether for homes, offices, commercial buildings, or industrial facilities. With its smart design tools, SchemBAT allows users to import or draw architectural plans and place electrical components such as cable trays, high voltage circuits, lighting wiring, sockets, junction boxes, electrical panels, as well as create electrical and hydraulic octopuses.
SchemBAT also includes functions for single- and multi-line diagrams, terminal blocks and cabinet layout. The software supports importing and exporting .dwg files, ensuring full compatibility with formats used in AutoCAD.
Discover the SchemBAT software →In recent years, the field of building design and construction has been evolving significantly through the integration of BIM (Building Information Modeling) from the study phase to the operational phase. Engineering teams must meet a growing demand for responsiveness and interoperability between the various trades, creating more "smart" spaces through precise 3D modeling of the different systems.
The FTZ-BIM module of the CAD software SchemBAT is dedicated to the design team responsible for building cabling. It enables active collaboration throughout the BIM process, relying on a digital model of the cabling system for both high and low current, integrated into the model while complying with the requirements of the project stakeholders.

Electrical CAD software lets you design schematics for industry or buildings quickly and in line with standards (IEC, DIN, ANSI...). It automates repetitive tasks such as wire numbering or terminal creation, relies on symbol and component libraries to generate drawings, manage cabinets and integrate PLC data. Solutions such as SchemELECT or SchemBAT improve productivity, reduce errors and ensure clear, consistent deliverables.
Electrical CAD software creates "intelligent" schematics with automatic functions: wire numbering, terminal creation, detailed parts-list generation. Plain drafting software is limited to technical drawing, without automation or error checking, which increases the risk of re-entry and slows down design work.
It simplifies schematic creation while automating repetitive tasks. Built-in checks limit errors and strengthen data reliability. It instantly generates parts lists, cross-references and cabinet layouts, saving valuable time during both the design phase and the as-built phase.
Start by precisely analyzing your needs and business constraints: creating simple or complex schematics, automatic terminal management, or fast parts-list generation. Then assess compatibility with your existing tools, compliance with current standards, and integration into your working environment.
SchemELECT makes electrical cabinet design easier while automating the management of wires, terminals and cables, with smart numbering and one-click parts lists. SchemBAT handles building wiring: single-line or multi-line diagrams, circuits, panels, labelling.
Yes: SchemELECT integrates easily with ERP or PLM systems, connects to calculation software, exports data and communicates with PLCs or production management software. This interconnection improves project consistency and the productivity of technical teams.
Manufacturing, automation, commercial buildings, electrical distribution, transport, energy. Design offices, panel builders, system integrators and maintenance departments use software such as SchemELECT or SchemBAT to design reliable, standards-compliant schematics.
Five key steps: assess your needs; compare products and choose the best fit; prepare the migration (libraries, template projects); roll out the new tool gradually alongside the old one; then move all new projects over to it.
