Solution provider EPLAN has taken over the development and sales rights to Harness Expert, the 3D/2D software for cable harness engineering.
This extension to its range will allow EPLAN to offer its customers more comprehensive support for all aspects of cable project management.
The strategic purchase of the Harness Expert will allow EPLAN to tackle new segments of industry, including apparatus engineering, rail and specialist vehicle technology, aviation, telecommunications and medical technology. At the same time, there is an increasing demand from within its own customer base for the implementation of 1:1 connections via cable harnesses, as the number of circuit board-based units in control cabinets and devices is increasing constantly. This new software is the perfect complement to EPLAN Electric P8, the company’s own CAE solution, which has previously handled the engineering of single wires and sheathed cables in the control cabinet and field components.
“The purchase of the Harness Expert software makes our portfolio broad enough to cover all engineering requirements within the global market. It also gives us a considerable competitive advantage, especially in the international market,” said Maximilian Brandl, chairman of the Executive Board at EPLAN Software & Service.
