Artificial Intelligence in electrical design

The productivity booster: Fast, faster, WSCAD

Instead of searching through menus and clicking endlessly, simply tell the WSCAD AI Copilot what you want, e.g.: ‘Create the materials list as an Excel file.’

The result is available in 3 seconds!
… unlike with our competitors, where the same task can take 22 clicks and 1.5 minutes.

‘In which project did I last use component 4711?’ An endeavour that can sometimes take hours is completed instantly 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 wish – it can even open the project for you.

Do you need a Bill of Materials (BOM) or the terminal list for your project? Simply ask the AI Copilot: ‘Create a Bill of Materials and the terminal list.’ Even quicker, you can click one of our pre-defined prompts, displayed as buttons in the AI Copilot. Your BOM and terminal list are ready in seconds.

Without WSCAD AI, you are missing out on a major opportunity to dramatically increase your productivity.

AI Copilot – Smart assistance for experts and casual users

Are you a professional who knows exactly what you want? Simply give instructions 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 an Excel file with article number, quantity, and manufacturer.’

Yes – you can actually do all that in seconds.

Are you a casual user who isn’t familiar with the software menus? AI Copilot will guide 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 don’t know all the details:

‘Give me a wire attribute, colour black, potential 24VDC, and suitable for 64A.’

AI Copilot will attach the desired attribute, including a 16 mm² cross-section, 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 and efficiency at their disposal.

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. The WSCAD 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 WSCAD AI, the shortage of skilled labour will only get worse.

AI can find the errors in your project

You want to deliver top quality and have just created a new project using copy and paste from existing ones — but you’re not sure whether any errors from the old projects have been carried over?

With the simple command:

‘Find the errors in this project,’

the AI Copilot analyses your project and identifies any issues — for example, PLC main elements without assigned secondary elements, symbols without linked articles, or open line connections.

Without WSCAD AI, an experienced designer might need several hours to check a project’s quality. With WSCAD AI, it takes only a few seconds.

Quick and easy help thanks to AI

AI Copilot can assist you with questions about operating the software, such as:

‘How can I switch snap on and off?’
‘How do I change the colours in the cabinet?’

Beginners and occasional users of ELECTRIX electrical CAD software will especially appreciate this innovative support — it’s up to 95% faster than conventional help systems.

Without WSCAD AI, help functions are just like those in standard electrical CAD software: slow and cumbersome.

AI answers technical questions amazingly fast

Need to know which wire cross-section is required for a copper conductor carrying 32 A? Or would you prefer to use an aluminium conductor instead? With AI Copilot, you’ll have the answer in seconds — no need to open a browser or search online.

Suppose you’re looking for a specific component, such as #4711, that you’ve used in a previous project but can’t remember which one. Simply write:

‘In which project did I last use component 4711?’
and AI Copilot will give you the answer instantly.

Without WSCAD AI, getting accurate answers to technical questions takes far longer.

WSCAD AI offers the best data security

We never share your personal data or IP address. Your project data is not stored or passed on. Every text input (prompt) in AI Copilot is end-to-end encrypted, and your chat history is deleted at the end of each session.

Data security doesn’t get much stronger than this.

No additional cost for using WSCAD AI

All AI functionalities are an integral part of the WSCAD software. There are no extra charges when you use ELECTRIX AI. The only requirement for accessing the embedded AI features is a valid maintenance contract or a software subscription licence.
