Wire Harness Manufacturing from Cost Estimates to Testing

On-demand webinar

Join Zuken and Cirris for this joint webinar. Wire harness manufacturers need a simple and quick process to create the wire harness design, estimate cost and generate quotations with manufacturing build documentation. Many manufacturers today are using manual processes that are time-consuming and error-prone. Harness Builder for E3.series is a low-cost product built for the harness manufacturer to automate many of those manual processes while eliminating errors and lowering costs.

This webinar will detail the process of creating wire harness quotations and the design detail required for the test and manufacturing of simple and complex harnesses. A large component database with links to manufacturing aids and tools is key to accurate quotation and design output.

The demonstration will show the ease of standard part selection from the Harness Builder for E3.series library to facilitate quick and accurate customer cost estimation and quotations. It will then follow through the design cycle to detail a manufacturing formboard and finally show the direct exports to Cirris wire harness test systems and wire cut/strip and labeling machines.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to quickly deliver accurate cost and quotation information for a harness
  • The benefits of a standard library with manufacturing build information
  • Techniques to speed design time by eradicating the need for lengthy checking and verification
  • An understanding of how a Cirris test machine will save time and eliminate harness problems
  • The advantages of common electrical objects for BOMs, cut-lists and direct export to wire cutting/stripping and marking machines

Who should attend:

  • Harness manufacturers and their job quotation teams, along with any engineering and technical resources who create and test the formboard layouts.
