Electrical Design Software
Use of electrical CAD software is driving productivity gains for panel builders, system integrators and end users by adding layers of intelligence to two-dimensional drawings.

Цитата:
Troy Schmidtke is passionate about software and the role it can play in a U.S. manufacturer’s competitiveness. His passion, however, is not focused on the massive business systems that take armies of consultants years to get running, but rather on a more precise, practical, and focused class of software that controls engineers may not be making the most of: electrical computer aided design (eCAD) software, part of the computeraided engineering (CAE) software market.
“In what industry is the U.S. the undisputed world leader?” Schmidtke asks, rhetorically. “It’s software. So why aren’t we leading that trend here? Manufacturing alone is not enough anymore.” The true value add that U.S. manufacturers can offer comes from the capabilities and flexibilities they provide through smart use of software.
Schmidtke is CEO of Design Ready Controls (DRC) Inc., a Minneapolis, MN, original design manufacturer (ODM). ODMs help machine builders design and manufacture control panels, and they often operate as the control design and manufacturing extensions of their OEM customers. DRC started as a contract manufacturer, but, says Schmidtke, “we’re more and more software focused.”
Like many engineers designing the schematics for control cabinets, Schmidtke started out focused on physical controllers, wiring, and conduit. He and his engineers used a simple installation of AutoDesk’s AutoCAD to create, store and share circuit drawings electronically. Many engineers still use CAD software this way today, because it’s simple and familiar.
Users of electrical CAD software, however, can realize large productivity improvements over the use of basic CAD. Unlike standard CAD software, eCAD contains specialized functions, templates, and symbols that profoundly increase design efficiency, and eliminate the errors caused by repetitive manual tasks.
