“Mentor’s Capital toolset now encompasses electrical architecture definition, electrical system and wire harness design, harness manufacturing, and vehicle service and repair,” stated Martin O’Brien, general manager of the Mentor® Integrated Electrical Systems Division. “Capital HarnessXC is one of the core products within this tool suite. PKC is the latest in a long line of harness suppliers to standardize on Capital to optimize their productivity. It’s also interesting that PKC Group has recently acquired AEES, itself an existing Capital customer. The Capital suite delivers rich capabilities to support global organizations such as the combined PKC/AEES group.”
