Zuken Improves Complex Vehicle Design Capabilities through Partnership with Gigatronik

Zuken has announced a partnership with Gigatronik to improve both their complex vehicle design capabilities. This is laying the foundations for future integration between Gigatronik’s ESCAPE software for creation of logical functional networks in graphic forms and Zuken’sE³.cable solution for harness development and documentation. This partnership will allow the re-use of data between the two environments, essential for sophisticated vehicle design.

"Data consistency is crucial for reducing time to market and cost margins in the automotive and aerospace industries and other related industries. Our partnership with Gigatronik will enable us to work on solutions that will provide integration for a complete end-to-end engineering process. In addition we are able to provide further support for wire harness production and After Sales", said Ulrich Prottung, E³.series product manager from Zuken.

"The intention for future development is to enhance the circuit diagram capabilities within E³.series with additional information including wire types, special cables, cross-sections, designations, the assignment to sub-wire harnesses and configuration information,” continued Prottung.

Zuken is currently working on the new E³.cable 2010 version, scheduled for release early next year.

About ESCAPE

As part of the Gigatronik Tool Suite, ESCAPE provides graphical tools for the complete, model-based engineering of complex E/E systems from requirements to production codes. The multi-user system facilitates the integration of all vehicle domains and supports the data-based integration of OEM and supplier.

ESCAPE enables the creation of logical functional networks in graphic form. The use of a domain-neutral model allows functions to be resolved to solution modules that the user can then map at will to the physical electrical system of a vehicle, airplane or space craft.
