Automated, Consistent, and Accurate Results

Zuken’s E3.series is an essential design tool for electrical engineers to create quality products in the shortest time frame possible. Every design aspect is optimized with automation options to create unmatched consistency, quality, accuracy, and speed. The built-in design rule checks eliminate common design errors. The configuration and design reuse options assist teams in reducing rework and standardizing the design process. The automated reporting and documentation options seamlessly connect engineering to purchasing, manufacturing, and service teams.

Automating Design Processes

Automatically syncing and updating information across the project are vital features of the object-oriented design of the E3.series platform. The automation capabilities simplify many of the traditional drafting processes.

The application eliminates tracking and tagging wires, cables, signals, connections, and devices manually. The built-in rules intelligently drive the selection of connector mates, connector pin terminals, cavity seals, plugs, and even wires.

Automating Design Standards

Automating Design Standards

Automatically applying standards creates a robust design process across teams and projects. The intelligent object-oriented library forms the heart of the solution in E3.series. The library and project templates capture standards and enable design teams to extract consistent results. The online parts portal, standard manufacturer parts databases, and custom part creation options empower design teams to follow an agile design process.

Design Rule Checks

It is hard to overstate the importance of getting the designs right the first time in the current production environment. The mix of active and passive checks ensures users avoid mistakes during the design and flag in the release process. For instance, the application stops the users from using the wrong wire gauge, mounting a device colliding with another, or using incompatible mating connectors. The user-defined DRC options expand the built-in checks to match customer requirements.

Functional Analysis and Circuit Checks

Functional Analysis and Circuit Checks

The electrically aware component library, specifically designed kernel and numerous design rule checks are all optimized for electrical design. Preventing short-circuits and incorrect part usage ensures the correct design data is always available for manufacturing. Special objects such as power sources, fuses, switches, complex devices, and loads in the E3.series library facilitate functional checks. Power supplies allow the user to simulate the circuit while fuses monitor the inline current.

Purchasing and Costing

The robust and intelligent connection to business systems provides engineers easy access to enterprise data. The library is tuned to capture auto-select additional parts, tools, and miscellaneous items related to an electrical component.

The reporting capabilities enable design-based estimates and provide accurate project data to purchasing systems without manual rework. Working with configuration management and 150% B.O.M. projects is easy with the link to reporting to ensure accuracy of the Bills of materials for a given configuration.

Engineering and manufacturing Reports

Engineering and manufacturing Reports

E3.series provides top-notch built-in configurable reporting options to extract the data for upstream and downstream processes easily. The design data drives the reports to ensure accuracy and avoid manual entry errors.

E3.series enables users to quickly generate standard reports like bills of materials, wire lists, cable schedules, terminal plans, plc addressing, device tags, wire labels, and many more. Export reports in multiple standard formats to enable digital data flow across the product development process.
