Engineering & Manufacturing

A key output of the electrical distribution systems flow is the fully documented harness design. Detail varies across organizations, from high-level harness specification designs to detailed formboard assembly diagrams. Capital Harness and Capital Factory provide a suite of applications targeted at companies designing and or building complex harness systems across multiple geographies.

As an integral part of CHS, Capital Harness and Factory leverages its data-centric architecture to provide seamless data transfer between electrical system design and harness manufacture across the extended organization.

Data bridges using open standards provide the integration points to both design data (e.g. 3D MCAD) and to downstream systems such as PDM, MRP or actual production equipment.

Specific OEM modules further compliment the product, offering a number of graphical formats and data import and exports.

Products and Solutions

  • Capital HarnessXCNext generation harness design / harness engineering software
  • Capital EngineerHarness CAD application providing a graphical design environment with automated part selection, design validation and detailed report outputs.
