The future of control cabinet design with ELECTRIX AI 2026
The latest version, ELECTRIX AI 2026, automatically generates complete control cabinet layouts from circuit diagrams. AI recognises patterns from existing projects, autonomously places components and support systems, and learns with every new project – delivering consistent, professional designs in record time.
ELECTRIX AI defines the future of control cabinet design. Those who continue without AI risk falling behind in efficiency, scalability, and engineering speed.
With just one click, ELECTRIX AI 2026 generates complete control cabinet layouts directly from your circuit diagrams.
Up to 99% less time spent on routine work
ELECTRIX AI Copilot significantly speeds up daily work: material lists and terminal charts can be generated instantly via prompts, projects can be searched for recently used parts, and much more. For example: “Create a material list and a terminal chart” – and both documents are ready within seconds, without lengthy manual clicking.
Routine work should no longer define engineering productivity. ELECTRIX AI Copilot makes instant results the new standard.
With ELECTRIX AI, material lists and terminal charts can be created in just seconds.
AI features that support both: experts and casual users
With ELECTRIX AI, both professional and casual users benefit from AI-powered assistance.
Experts can complete complex tasks in seconds: “Place the macros CPU, SPS-DA, SPS-DE, SPS-Potentials on a new page”, “Show me the latest projects with part 4711”, or “Create the terminal plan and material list in Excel with item number, quantity, and manufacturer”. Everything happens instantly, without time-consuming lookups.
Casual users rely on AI Copilot for simple operational and design tasks: “Place the XY macro on the page” or “Set wire attribute to black, potential 24 V DC, suitable for 64 A”. AI Copilot executes these tasks directly, requiring no in-depth software knowledge.
ELECTRIX AI allows experienced engineers to efficiently handle complex projects while less experienced users manage routine tasks. ELECTRIX AI relieves teams, increases productivity, and actively addresses the shortage of skilled professionals in engineering.
Without ELECTRIX AI teams remain overloaded, productivity suffers, and the shortage of skilled engineering professionals becomes harder to manage.
AI Copilot can also handle multiple tasks with a single prompt.
AI helps you overcome the shortage of skilled labour
Simply delegate tasks to AI Copilot – it will complete them even if you don’t know exactly how they’re done.
To speed up your engineering process, you can implement a division of labour: experts handle complex tasks, while less-experienced employees take care of the rest. ELECTRIX AI Copilot empowers newcomers to achieve things they never thought possible – and your job gets done faster.
Shortage of skilled labour? Not when you’re engineering with WSCAD AI!
Without ELECTRIX AI and a clear division of labour, your experts will keep getting pulled into routine work, less-experienced employees will stay limited in what they can deliver, and deadlines will be harder to hit.
Stop losing time searching for answers
With AI Copilot, you receive answers to technical engineering questions and software-related queries directly within ELECTRIX AI. Whether it’s wire cross-sections, material selection, a specific part from previous projects, or questions about how to use the software, you simply ask your question and AI Copilot delivers the relevant answer within seconds. This saves time and significantly streamlines the design process. Especially for beginners or casual users, this makes it much faster to become productive with the software – up to 95% faster compared to conventional help functions.
Simply ask your question, for example: “Which wire cross-section do I need for a copper conductor with 32 A?”. AI Copilot provides the correct technical information within seconds – fast, precise, and without switching tools.
Project-wide queries are handled just as efficiently. With a prompt such as “In which project did I last use part 4711?”, AI Copilot searches your data and displays the result immediately.
The same applies to software usage questions. Instead of navigating through menus, you can simply ask: “How do I enable snap?” or “How do I change colours in the cabinet?”
With ELECTRIX AI, answers are available exactly where they are needed – directly inside the electrical CAD software.
Without ELECTRIX AI, answers won’t be available exactly where they’re needed and productivity is lost before design even begins.
Faster adoption for beginners and casual users
Casual users receive targeted assistance for handling the software and for design-related questions, such as: “How do I enable or disable snap?”, “Place macro XY on the page” or “Create a wire attribute with colour black, potential 24 V DC, suitable for 64 A”. ELECTRIX AI executes these tasks directly, without requiring in-depth knowledge of the software. Casual users therefore become more productive, are able to perform tasks they didn’t even think of and don’t need to ask experienced engineers for help.
Seasoned engineers can therefore focus efficiently on complex projects, while less experienced users handle routine activities. ELECTRIX AI is a relieve for engineering teams, increases productivity, and actively helps address the skills shortage in engineering.
Without ELECTRIX AI, seasoned engineers are more likely to get tied up with routine activities instead of focusing efficiently on complex projects. This reduces their productivity while the impact of the skills shortage in engineering is amplified.
Go global in seconds with automatic translations
ELECTRIX AI 2026 enables diagrams and project texts to be translated into more than 100 languages – including project titles, descriptions, component properties, and comments.
What previously required significant time and often additional costs for external translation services is now completed by AI within seconds. This allows international projects to be implemented faster, documentation to remain consistent, and global teams to be supported efficiently.
Without ELECTRIX AI 2026 you risk being limited to fewer languages and missing translations for project titles, descriptions, component properties, and comments. You will then use manual translations, with extra tools, costs, and delays.
The automatic translation can be used in various areas – in this example, within the post-processing panel.
Minimize errors and easily adhere to requirements and customised standards
ELECTRIX AI 2026, help you adhere to project guidelines, requirements and customised best practices. Information such as legal regulations, customer directives, specifications, or even customised internal standards that are stored – either across projects or per project – can be then used by AI. This slowly creates a central knowledge base that is always accessible. Then let AI check your project’s compliance against this knowledge base. No need to browse endless pages – get results in seconds: ELECTRIX AI can query the required information directly and precisely, for example: “Who is the key user of this project?”, “Which terminal manufacturer is required?” or “Does my project adhere to the required terminal numbering?” With AI-based evaluations like these, you can save time, ensure that your project is clearly structured and standards-compliant. And the best part: you can easily orchestrate this with your engineering team across the entire engineering process.
If you don’t use ELECTRIX AI 2026, you risk missing project guidelines, requirements, and customised best practices – so legal regulations, customer directives, specifications, and internal standards remain scattered across projects and hard to access.
With ELECTRIX AI, you can easily check your project for errors: simply enter a prompt such as “Find the errors in this project” and ELECTRIX AI analyses the project. It can highlight, for example, main PLC elements without assigned sub-elements, symbols without part assignments, or open wire connections. Tedious tasks that previously took hours can now be completed in seconds. This is so easy that even your intern can help you with some of these tasks.
Without ELECTRIX AI, errors are more likely to slip through or take far longer to uncover, wasting expert time on repetitive checks – work that could be done in seconds can still consume hours.
AI that protects your data, always
With ELECTRIX AI, protecting your data is a top priority. Neither personal data nor your IP address is shared, and project content is never stored or transmitted to third parties. Every text input to the AI Copilot is end-to-end encrypted, and the entire chat history is automatically deleted after each session – ensuring the highest level of security.
Individual guidelines and requirements – such as legal regulations, customer directives, specifications, or internal standards – can be used by ELECTRIX AI. bu these documents remain solely on the user’s system, whether locally or on their own server. They never leave the customer’s IT environment are not uploaded to external AI servers.
This ensures that your know-how stays exactly where it belongs: fully protected within your own infrastructure. By joining the EU AI Pact, WSCAD further reinforces this commitment, highlighting responsible AI use, ethical innovation, and transparency while continuing to lead the field with its AI-powered electrical CAD software.
Keeping your data where it belongs – fully protected, always, with ELECTRIX AI.
