Unintelligent, non-parametric tools for electrical design hinder an organization’s agility. When electrical teams are stuck working in a siloed design environment, their ability to quickly collaborate with mechanical and manufacturing teams is impeded, as is their ability to quickly adapt to design changes and customer/market demands. When using non-parametric design tools, each design change–even something seemingly small like updating a single wire number–can result in hours of manual auditing and editing. 

Eventually, there comes a point where the historical reliance on these non-integrated and unintelligent electrical design tools can no longer be justified. Your teams are better than status quo–it’s time to move beyond status quo tools and into an integrated intelligent ECAD solution.

Rather than spend hours, and sometimes days, on documentation generation and auditing, you can complete these tasks in seconds. With the automation of tasks like BOM generation, circuit reuse, wire numbering, and documentation updates and creation, you can give time back to your designers to focus on what they were hired to do: design innovative new products. 

Ultimately, intelligent ECAD software modernizes electrical design, allowing designers to replace manual tools with parametric ones to drastically reduce, and in some cases eliminate, human error and time spent on documentation, cut down on ECOs, and get to market faster.
