The Cabinet Engineering discipline provides a significant amount of support for the design and layout control cabinets: for example, the exact and optimal placement of components, collision checks for objects and the calculation of wire lengths and wire routes already during the design. Even the filling degree of cable ducts is always visible. Drilling data for bulk goods such as mounting rails, for example, can be configured easily through a dialog. The 3D view provides better spatial awareness of the control cabinet. All generated data is available for the production of wire and cable bundles, label printing, mounting plates and control cabinet doors on NC machining centers.
A useful feature is the control cabinet layout from external electrical CAD data without any previously created schematics: A wizard reads terminal charts and material and connection lists and matches them against the WSCAD database. A new degree of freedom for control cabinet builders, who want to create control cabinet layouts with WSCAD on the basis of data from other electrical CAD systems.

Performance Focus
- Requirements-based project start: initiation of
designing with the control cabinet or schematics - 3D wire routing and wire length calculation in the
control cabinet to optimize the cable harness - Automated control cabinet wiring while considering
various voltage levels - Standardized control cabinet layouts (cabinet macros)
for faster design - Placement support, collision checks and
fill level display already during the design phase - Export of all data for automated production
(wiring lists, drilling/CNC data, part lists)

Control cabinet engineering with manufacturing integration
However you call it, the results are the same: fast, fully digital processing and consistently high quality. Cabinet Engineering from the WSCAD Software provides the right engineering tools at your fingertips. Schematics, 2D and 3D control cabinet layouts, label printing, wire and core labeling, data that can be used for the production of wires, wire sets, control cabinet doors and mounting plates through to wiring and maintenance via an augmented reality app— all of these are included in WSCAD Software.
This information brochure provides an overview of the manufacturing integration with WSCAD Software and the advantages of end-to-end digital engineering.
