Predictions for 2020 – The Arrival of Digital Engineering for E/E
By: Bob Potock
It is not only a new year but the beginning of a transformational decade. We will see more and more companies move from a tool-centric design process to a model-centric design process–known as Digital Engineering. But why the migration? Digital Engineering is part of the larger Digital Transformation movement. Many companies have recently embarked on their own Digital Transformation journey with their sights set on improving efficiency and competitiveness.
A discussion about the Top 5 challenges in harness design and manufacturing has been long overdue. Harness manufacturing is growing driven by the electrification across industry lines. The challenges are consistent across industries for the most part without a consistent solution. We have heard pretty much all the challenges and worked on solutions with customers for over 40 years...
Backshells are commonly used to augment the connector assembly in cable harnesses and can be represented in multiple ways in E3.series. This video covers the first 2 of 4 different methods of representing backshells in E3.series.

Paperless Engineering with E3.WiringChecks and E3.WiringCockpit
By: Geoffrey NG
Communication between disciplines is increasingly critical as complex designs require more and more collaboration. Communication gaps often riddle engineering companies. E3.WiringChecks and E3.WiringCockpit is here to facilitate communication between design, checking, commissioning, technicians, and all parties involved after the initial design. Both solutions work within the standard E3.series environment to move towards a paperless engineering future that reduces errors by improving communication between multiple disciplines.

The Systems Metamodel and Communication
By Zane Scott
What is the system metamodel? It is the framework on which the system model is constructed. A system model must create a depiction of the system being studied or designed that will allow the design team to see its elements, relationships, and attributes in a way that allows them to make predictions about the system behaviors and evaluate those predictions against the requirements driving the design.
