Abstract
EMA will demonstrate the workflow from Zuken’s E3.series cable harness design software to EMA3D® Cable to prepare full vehicle simulations for electromagnetic effects. Cable harnesses are an integral part of a vehicle or aircraft’s electrical subsystems and are susceptible to external EMI sources such as high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF) and lightning strikes. These vehicles or aircraft must undergo extensive electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) certification testing at the physical prototype stage. EMA3D is a 3D Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) solver with an integrated multi-conductor transmission line solver.

Abstract
The wrong components can ruin an otherwise solid design. A great way to prevent your designs from finding their way back to you for modification is to research risks associated with the parts you plan to add. SiliconExpert’s integration with Zuken design tools simplifies this task by bringing up-to-date information on over one billion parts into your design environment. Attend this session to learn how easy it can be to avoid costly respins.

Abstract
The exploding product complexities force organizations to reimagine design methodologies, tools, and configuration management at every step of the lifecycle. As products become systems and systems become systems-of-systems digital traceability must include the system-centric view of a product in addition to the traditional BOM-centric approach. In addition, Digital Thread must persist over a long time often beyond the usefulness of the original authoring tools.
This presentation will discuss how Systems Thinking helps in the implementation of a resilient Digital Thread strategy that connects requirements, system architecture, domain-specific implementations, simulation, and cross-domain collaboration. The discussion will use Aras Innovator Platform as an example.

Abstract
Wire harness assembly is a complex process. Engineering teams must supply technicians with design instructions that are both precise and easy to understand. For decades this information has been printed on large mylar sheets. However, the static nature of these drawings often leads to a considerable amount of information crammed into a small area, often resulting in human error and rework.
Harness Builder for E3.series newest integration with ProjectionWorks now solves this age-old manufacturing challenge. Using projection-based mixed reality, engineering teams can now simplify the wire harness assembly process by digitally overlaying step-by-step instructions directly onto the harness board.

Abstract
The aim of the Smart Cabinet initiative is to find universal solutions for the current and future challenges in control cabinet construction. This involves the interlinking of technology and expertise across all process steps, specifically through the consistent optimization of production processes using all the possibilities offered by digitalization. Only by taking a complete view of the individual aspects of the value creation process can significant efficiency gains be achieved.
“Control cabinet construction, with its still high proportion of manual activities, offers very promising approaches. These range from component selection and the prefabrication of wire harnesses, components, and housings to assisted final assembly and testing prior to commissioning,” explains Matijas Meyer, CEO of the Komax Group.
