WirePro Expo 2024
FEEL THE POWER OFINNOVATION
From VISION to WIRING: PREEvision @EDAG
EDAG is investigating the entire development process as part of the KI4Boardnet research project. One result will be examined in more detail:
- Process and databases for architecture development from scratch
- Event-chain as base for communication, function modeling & wiring harness
- With feature system wiring diagrams and 3D data to 2D-drawing
- Data exchange with the digital foam board
Speaker
At EDAG, Dieter Hohmann is responsible for the on-board network design in vehicle projects. EDAG develops in projects for startups and OEMs in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry. This is essentially about the architecture, the correct use of CAD tools, the corresponding development process and the influence of automation on the cable harness.
The Contribution of Tape for Automizing Wire Harness Production
Today, up to 30% of the assembly time of a wire harness is required for taping. Therefore, automation plays a crucial role here. tesa already offers products that can be used for automated applications. In this presentation, tesa will present its vision of future wire harness production, the contribution of tape to automation and the specific advantages and possibilities of using tape for automation.
Speaker
10 years of automotive experience working as a project manager at ZF and LEONI with international customers and partners. At tesa, managing a double-digit million euros portfolio of wire harnessing tapes with global production footprint and driving the strategic activities for tape solutions which enable automation in wire harnessing production.
Harnessing the Future: How Automation is Elevating the Requirements for High-Voltage Cables
The steadily increasing degree of automation in the processing of High-Voltage Cable harnesses for the electromobility is leading to increasing challenges on the automated processing of the cables used.
The major challenges are the precise identification of these requirements and overcoming the resulting challenges, which will be the focus of this presentation.
Speaker
Master's degree in electrical engineering followed by 5 years as a PhD student at the University of Wuppertal in the research field of thin-film technology. Joined Coroflex in 2022 as an application engineer in the R&D department with the focus on HV cables.
The Future of Smart Manufacturing: Accelerating Digital Transformation across the Harness Manufacturing to maximize Efficiency, Quality and Productivity
We present a novel automated self-learning machine configuration system and technologies for wire harness manufacturing to support decisions about optimizing machines, increasing product quality, reducing waste, and providing best recommendations based on data. These can drive growth, have a transformative impact and benefit machine makers and their partners. We describe what trends and developments are expected. Practical real-world examples show where the challenges and opportunities lie.
