Artificial Intelligence in electrical design

The productivity booster: Fast, faster, WSCAD

Instead of searching for functions in menus and clicking your fingers to the bone, simply tell the WSCAD AI Copilot what you want, e.g: »Create the material list as an Excel file«.

The result is available in 3 seconds!
… unlike our competitors where you need 22 clicks and 1.5 minutes.

»In which project did I last use component 4711?« An endeavour that sometimes can take hours, is completed immediately with the AI Copilot: it gives you the name of the project where you last used component #4711, the date of the last project change and, if you like, it can also open the project for you.

Do you need a bill of materials (BOM) or the terminal list for your project? We assume you now know the answer -> ask AI Copilot: »Create a bill of materials and the terminal list« – or even quicker: simply click on one of our predefined example prompts, which are displayed as buttons in AI Copilot. Your BOM and terminal list are ready.

Without WSCAD AI, you are simply missing out on opportunities to vastly increase your productivity.

AI helps both experts and casual users

You are a professional and know exactly what you want? Then simply give instruction to AI Copilot and your wish is fulfilled. Even complex commands are executed in just a few seconds: »Place the macros CPU, PLC-DA, PLC-DE, PLC potentials on a new page. Tell me in which project I last used component 4711. Then create the terminal list and the BOM as Excel with article number, quantity and manufacturer.« Yes, you can actually do that in seconds.

Are you a casual user and don’t know the software’s menus inside out? AI Copilot will help you with technical questions such as: »How can I switch the catch on and off?” Or if you want to place a macro, simply say: »Place macro XY on the page”. If you need a specific wire attribute, but you don’t know all the details: »Give me a wire attribute, color black, potential 24VDC and suitable for 64A” AI Copilot will attache the desired attribute including a cross-section of 16mm2 to your cursor so you can place it on the corresponding connection. And it’s done.

Without WSCAD AI, both experts and casual users have less support.

AI helps you fight the shortage of skilled professionals

Simply delegate tasks to AI Copilot. it will do them even without you knowing exactly how it is done.

To speed up the engineering process you can implement a division of labour: the expert does the complex tasks and delegates everything else to those employees with less experience. WSCAD AI Copilot helps newbies do things they didn’t even dream of. And your job is done. Shortage of skilled labour? Not when engineering with WSCAD AI!

Without WSCAD AI, the shortage of skilled labour will be get worse.

AI can find the errors in your project

You want to deliver top quality and have just put together a new project using copy & paste from existing projects? But you are not sure if the errors from the old project have been copied too? With the simple command: »find the errors in this project«, the AI Copilot analyses your project and finds the errors. For example, PLC main elements that have no assigned secondary elements, symbols to which no article is assigned, open line connections etc.

Without WSCAD AI, an experienced designer would have to invest several hours to check the quality of a project. With WSCAD AI it is done in a few seconds.

Quick and easy help thanks to AI

AI Copilot can help you with questions related to the operation of the software, such as: »How can I switch the snap on and off?« or »How do I change the colours in the cabinet?«

Especially beginners or casual users of ELECTRIX electrical CAD software will love this innovative help, because it is 95% faster than the conventional help.

Without WSCAD AI, help functions are the same as in all normal electrical CAD software: slow and cumbersome.

AI answers technical questions amazingly fast

Do you want to know what wire cross-section you need for a copper conductor with 32A? Or would you prefer an aluminium conductor? With AI Copilot you have the answer in seconds and you no longer need to open a browser and google.

Let’s say you are looking for a specific component #4711 that you have used in a previous project, but you don’t know in which project. All you need to write is: »In which project did I last use component 4711?« and AI Copilot will give you the answer.

Without the use of WSCAD AI, it takes much longer to get correct answers to technical questions.

WSCAD AI offers the best data security

We do not pass on your personal data or your IP address. We also do not store your project data and do not pass it on. Every text input (prompt) in AI Copilot is end-to-end encrypted. We delete your chat history at the end of the session.

More data security is hardly possible.

No additional cost for using WSCAD AI

All AI functionalities are an integral part of the WSCAD software. There are no extra costs for you when you work with ELECTRIX AI. The only requirement for using the embedded AI functionality is a valid maintenance contract or a software subscription licence.
