About the technology

Electrical CAD and Modular Engineering

WSCAD ELECTRIX delivers an integrated electrical engineering environment for machine builders, switchgear manufacturers, and plant operators. Specialists use the suite to generate precise circuit diagrams, terminal plans, and multi-line electrical schematics that meet international design standards.

Core Disciplines Across the Suite

  • Electrical schematic creation and wiring lists via Electrical Engineering
  • Control cabinet configuration and 3D collision checks in Cabinet Engineering
  • Field installation and pipe planning using Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams
  • Building automation, room planning, and HVAC logic schematics
  • Database management and component derivation via wscaduniverse

Industrial Ecosystem and Production Interfaces

The software connects CAD workflows directly to automated workshop manufacturing. Qualified specialists configure export routines for CNC processing centers such as Perforex, configure automated wire assembly systems like Komax, and generate detailed bills of materials for ERP systems like SAP.

When Industrial Teams Require External Support

Companies in Germany bring in contract specialists during commissioning peaks, retrofit programs, and complex migrations from legacy tools like SUETRON or older WSCAD Suite versions. External talent speeds up product rollouts without disrupting existing shop-floor maintenance routines.

Production Integration in Germany

Industrial machinery in Germany requires strict adherence to DIN EN standards, machinery directives, and German documentation norms. On-site audits for panel clearances, cabinet thermals, and terminal assignments often accompany remote schematic development, making local engineering know-how vital.

Distinguishing Attributes of Leading Professionals

Top specialists demonstrate flawless component master-data management and strong proficiency with the wscaduniverse portal. They build standardized macro libraries, script automated drawing generation, and integrate PLC hardware configurations directly with automation programming platforms.

Frequently asked questions

What clients ask us most about WSCAD — answered in short.

WSCAD is used to engineer electrical wiring schematics, fluid power systems, piping diagrams, and control cabinets. Specialists rely on the software to produce manufacturing documentation, wire lists, and terminal charts required for machine manufacturing and facility installations.

While both tools serve electrical engineering, WSCAD ELECTRIX emphasizes rapid engineering workflows, modular licensing, and seamless 3D cabinet design without requiring extensive auxiliary software packages. Many medium-sized equipment manufacturers prefer it due to balanced total cost and intuitive database synchronization.

Projects executing in Germany require strict compliance with DIN EN 81346 for plant structure and device tagging, alongside DIN EN 60204-1 for the electrical safety of machinery. A qualified WSCAD Suite specialist ensures all drawing revisions, circuit protections, and terminal markings fulfill German machinery safety inspections.

Most electrical drafting, component macro creation, and layout tasks in WSCAD can be conducted fully remotely. On-site days are typically scheduled for physical switch cabinet measurements, factory acceptance tests, or final commissioning at production facilities in Germany.

Professionals use the wscaduniverse parts library to insert manufacturer-verified component geometries, schematic symbols, and electrical technical data directly into their schematics. This eliminates manual footprint sketching and minimizes drafting errors during cabinet population.

Proficiency in PLC hardware configuration from Siemens or Beckhoff complements WSCAD engineering work. Experience with automated wire preparation tools, CNC sheet metal milling formats, and ERP data structures like SAP material masters ensures clean engineering handoffs.

High-caliber WSCAD talent demonstrates thorough knowledge of macro variants, automated report generation, and 3D thermal air-flow routing in control panels. They deliver organized master databases that can be maintained effortlessly by internal design teams after project completion.

Yes, migrating project files from previous WSCAD versions to the modern ELECTRIX platform is a standard assignment for seasoned specialists. They resolve symbol discrepancies, re-index terminal strips, and verify part references to ensure older designs remain fully editable.
