We will hold a webinar introducing the software "E3.series" for electrical control and electrical design. The content is primarily aimed at electrical designers involved in wiring design for electronic devices. In electrical design and cable design, issues such as increased man-hours due to manual data entry between various drawings, ensuring consistency, and rework due to mistakes have become significant challenges. With E3.series, design data is managed in a centralized database, allowing real-time linking of design information across multiple drawings, such as "wiring diagrams" and "cable production drawings," ensuring consistency at all times. Additionally, by utilizing a parts library, semi-automation of drawing transcription tasks and automatic output of reports enable the efficient creation of high-quality design data. The webinar will include demonstrations of basic and latest features using actual equipment, as well as case studies of operations, so please be sure to register. Target Audience: - Those who have not yet implemented E3.series - Electrical designers involved in wiring design for electronic devices *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The buildings, equipment, and devices in the factory are converted into ultra-lightweight 3D data called XVL, allowing for simulations of equipment placement and wiring between devices. Furthermore, the connection relationships are converted into electrical CAD data, streamlining maintenance and inspections. This service is provided by Zuken's "Factory Digital Twin." For the XVL conversion of structures, it is possible to merge point cloud data captured by a 3D laser scanner, BIM data used in the construction industry, or 3D-CAD data utilized in equipment design onto the XVL platform. In the visualized XVL factory, it also becomes possible to simulate the transportation routes for new equipment, allowing for the examination of the loading and unloading processes during actual construction. Additionally, by converting the connection relationships and control circuits of structures into circuit data using "E3.series," it becomes feasible to plan wiring within the factory using actual cable images. 【Features】 ■ Simulation of construction considerations ■ Wiring plans and work instructions ■ PLC control simulation *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
