FTZ-Wiring Assistant: the link for the wiring workshop

wiring 2

FTZ, in partnership with panel builders, has developed a new software tool dedicated to wiring workshops, called FTZ-Wiring Assistant.

FTZ-Wiring Assistant completes FTZ’s software suite for electrical design offices with :

SchemELECT for CAD and electrical schematics
FTZ-Panel 3D for 3-dimensional representation of component layout and wiring.

Using data from the electrical design office, FTZ-Wiring Assistant provides cable makers with manufacturing information in the form of an interfaced table of the wiring to be processed. This information is supplemented, if required, by a 3-dimensional representation of the wire or cable routing in the enclosure (cabinet, desk, machine). These simplified data are sufficient to carry out the wiring, so there’s no need to read the schematic, making manufacturing much easier.

FTZ-Wiring Assistant also provides an overview of the workshop’s current status.

In the workshop, all phases are validated and time-stamped:

  • Component verification
  • Component layout
  • Wiring of wires and cables
  • Final tests

FTZ-Wiring Assistant provides the company with a seamless flow of information. From the design stage to the workshop, the tool supports both top/down and bottom/up approaches. It facilitates the process of optimizing wiring quality and workshop productivity.

FTZ-Wiring Assistant thus enhances the organization of the company’s production resources, in line with the Industry 4.0 concept.
