Optimizing Electrical CAD for a Global Panel and Switchgear Leader
Objective
A Switzerland-based electrical panel and switchgear manufacturer serving the building, industrial, and process industries (>$29Bn revenue) needed engineering support to relieve its core team’s bandwidth for more productive engineering work.
Challenge
The client’s core engineering team was overwhelmed with routine 2D manufacturing drawings, schematic wiring diagrams, and BoM verification tasks.
Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) required frequent updates, causing delays in the workflow.
The need for high-precision electrical schematics and manufacturing documentation was critical to ensuring production efficiency.
Solution
To support the client’s team, we provided specialized Electrical CAD services, including:
2D Manufacturing Drawings: Created detailed electrical panel layouts and switchgear manufacturing drawings.
Schematic & Wiring Diagrams: Developed precise electrical schematics to ensure accurate system integration.
BoM Verification: Cross-checked Bills of Materials (BoM) for accuracy and completeness.
ECO/ECN Updates: Managed and updated over 100+ designs with revision control, ensuring compliance with design changes.
Impact
Increased Core Engineering Efficiency: Freed up the client’s core team for higher-value engineering work.
Faster Design Turnaround: Successfully updated 100+ designs and delivered manufacturing drawings within 1 year.
Improved Accuracy: Reduced errors in electrical schematics and manufacturing documentation.
Seamless Integration: Ensured smooth design-to-production workflow for panels and switchgear.
By streamlining 2D manufacturing drawing creation, schematic design, and engineering change management, we helped the client enhance operational efficiency while focusing their core team on innovation and product development.
