Cabinet Engineering with WSCAD

Experience WSCAD ELECTRIX for cabinet engineering!

Electrical design is WSCAD’s speciality. Work quickly, digitally throughout the process and always with high quality. WSCAD ELECTRIX is the electrical CAD solution that supports you in your daily engineering work and allows you to complete your tasks more efficiently. From schematics, cabinet assemblies in 2D and 3D, label printing, wire and cable core labelling, production data for the manufacturing of wires, wire sets, cabinet doors and mounting plates to wiring and maintenance via app.

Start either with the panel layout or the schematics

  • Create schematics directly in our electrical CAD software ELECTRIX or easily import schematic data from customers and suppliers.
  • Plans created in WSCAD (even from older WSCAD versions) can be imported and processed immediately.
  • For schematics in other electrical CAD formats, you can import e.g. component, terminal and wiring lists and then immediately start the control cabinet design in WSCAD.

Automated cabinet design

  • Save frequently recurring designs as macros with variables. Use them to create panel layouts in your projects at the touch of a button. This allows you to design a variety of cabinets with different requirements at lightning speed.

Design made easy

  •  Exact and true-to-scale placement of components to 1/10th of a millimetre
  •  Automatic calculation of wire lengths and wire routing
  • The 3D view provides a better visualisation of the cabinet. The collision check allows potential errors to be identified as early as the design phase.

End-to-end cabinet design with manufacturing integration

  • Get your panel ready for manufacturing with just one click: All data required for automated production (wiring lists, drilling/CNC data, parts lists) can be exported effortlessly and reliably. The clever control cabinet design with manufacturing integration saves you 60% of your time!

Wiring, maintenance and service via app

  • Wire and maintain your control cabinet conveniently via the WSCAD Augmented Reality app.
  • Conveniently wire connections via the app and never lose track thanks to the filter function for devices, wire colours or cross-sections.
  • The app gives you immediate access to all plans for service and maintenance, including 3D views of the components used, as well as the complete part data and original manufacturer data sheets – always up-to-date and just a click away.

Professional cabinet design and wire routing
With the WSCAD ELECTRIX Cabinet Engineering module designing panels is super easy: use the precise and optimal placement of components, collision checks or the calculation of wire lengths/routes – all of this available during the design phase. Drilling data for components, mounting rails and cable trays can be configured easily through a dedicated menu. The integrated 3D view of the cabinet gives you a better spatial awareness.

Piping & Instrumentation DiagramsPiping & Instrumentation

Process engineering and measuring point management
Design piping and instrumentation diagrams easily using WSCAD ELECTRIX P&ID (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams) module.
By linking every P&ID component with their representation in another engineering discipline you get a consistent design. Add the unique, sequential numbering of measuring points and you will be able to remove errors in a breeze.

Fluid EngineeringFluid Engineering

Pneumatic and hydraulic systems
WSCAD ELECTRIX is your ideal companion to design pneumatic and hydraulic systems. The Fluid Engineering discipline includes all the benefits of the Electrical Engineering module, plus special fluid functions. Designers and maintenance engineers get all the tools they need for the end-to-end design of mechatronic tasks – quickly, intuitively and efficiently.

Electrical InstallationElectrical Installation

Installation diagrams and distribution planning
Design building system technology, medium- and low-voltage installations, as well as antenna and fire alarm systems. The Electrical Installation module of WSCAD ELECTRIX is your tool from design to delivery, including the 3D location of equipment in plants and buildings. Import PDF or DWG floor plans at scale, place all the field devices and link them to the existing symbol data of the schematics.

Building AutomationBuilding Automation

Building Automation and measurement control technology
Design layouts and schematics for measurement control technology using the WSCAD ELECTRIX Building Automation module.
Symbols placed in the schematics are linked to the corresponding component and its manufacturer data. This way you can easily generate the BOM for procurement, pricing and manufacturing. You can ensure constant transparency and traceability throughout the entire project. Just rely on the coloured representation of plant schematics and functional diagrams with subsequent evaluation of all functions, materials, field devices and cables.

Over 40,000 customers work with WSCAD

With WSCAD, for example, we can easily create our own checklists and acceptance protocols. The automatic generation of declarations of conformity and all project documentation is also a great advantage. All in all, the WSCAD software enables us not only to plan and deliver switchgear cabinets, but also the complete portfolio from the basic design to the final assembly,
but also to cover the entire portfolio from basic and assembly planning to control diagrams and control cabinet construction with connection and installation of the field devices on site. We can no longer imagine working on the project without this help.

VOGL Elektromeisterbetrieb GmbHDaniel Vogl (CEO)

Until now, we have used additional M-CAD software for the production of cabinet doors and mounting plates. With WSCAD, we can now send the data directly to our laser machine.The previous parallel drawing in the M-CAD system is no longer necessary.

NW-Niemann GmbHHolger Pawel (Managing Director)

We decided to replace AutoCAD Electrical and EPLAN and standardize our global electrical design on WSCAD software as it combines the advanced capabilities of EPLAN with ease of use. Our engineers are able to learn the software very quickly and use efficient engineering workflows through the explorers provided by the tool.
