"Without digital masters, there will be no end-to-end digitalization of business processes in the context of Industry 4.0. "The integration of E-CAD applications like WSCAD is an important step on the way to mapping the entire digital product model in PLM," says Bernd Döbel, a senior manager at PROSTEP AG. The electrical engineers, on the other hand, can immediately see whether changes made to other product data will have repercussions for them. Thanks to bidirectional synchronization, changes made to the part data in the WSCAD application are immediately visible in the ERP and PLM systems. On the WSCAD SUITE side, all that is required to establish the connection to OpenPDM is the add-on PLMERPsync. PROSTEP's integration platform assumes responsibility for this.
Integration in OpenPDM has the advantage that WSCAD does not have to develop and maintain multiple interfaces to leading PLM and ERP systems. "In our view, PLM systems are the central hub where all engineering data should converge," stresses Dr.
Diese kostenlose PC-Software wurde für Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 oder Windows 10 entwickelt und kann unter 32-Bit-Systemen benutzt werden. Der eigentliche Entwickler dieses kostenlosen Programms ist WSCAD electronic GmbH. By integrating the solution in OpenPDM, WSCAD is underscoring the need to integrate these disciplines more closely in the development and manufacturing processes. WSCAD File Viewer gehört zur Kategorie 'Bild und Graphik' und Unterkategorie '3D-Design'. The WSCAD SUITE is a modular and scalable solution for the disciplines electrical engineering, cabinet and panel design, piping and instrumentation, fluid power engineering, building automation and electrical installation. It enables bidirectional synchronization of electrical component data, attribute information, documents and product structures with leading PLM and ERP systems such as Teamcenter from Siemens, SAP PLM/ERP, PTC Windchill and Enovia V6 from Dassault Systèmes. This is why PROSTEP, together with WSCAD, has created an interface between WSCAD's electrical CAD solution and the OpenPDM integration platform. WSCAD users can access the latest symbols for switch cabinet structures and wiring diagrams of the Bachmann automation components via the portal.Darmstadt, February 2017 – Digitalization of the process chains in development and manufacturing requires the availability of all the digital product information, not just the mechanical CAD data. Bachmann also supports the E-CAD product WSCAD. Bachmann offers its advanced engineering customers an EPLAN import into the electrical engineering solution and the continuously revised version of its EPLAN macro library and 3D CAD data for online download. Switch cabinets are increasingly designed using 3D-supported programs, which permit the use of prepared master data and macros of the component manufacturers.
The WSCAD data, also updated, is available on the manufacturer's web site. Customers can now access the updated EPLAN macro and 3D CAD libraries. To meet this requirement, Bachmann provides its electronic and mechanical product data in complete online catalogs ready for download. High quality and economy of time are paramount in the engineering of automation systems in plant and machinery system construction.
