Production harness workflow

Wire harness design software.One record from topology to build.

Struct is browser-based wire harness design software that keeps connector cavities, conductors, cables, splices, terminals, bundles, coverings, controlled lengths, parts, checks, and release evidence in one editable project.

  • Connector cavity mapping
  • Controlled bundle lengths
  • 1:1 formboards
  • BOM + cut lists

A real checked-in Struct harness project—not a decorative mockup.

One controlled harness record

Keep the drawing, wire data, parts, and build outputs synchronized.

A conductor is stored once. The drawing, rule checker, BOM, wiring table, cut list, connector-pin table, material plan, and propagated netlist are regenerated from the same project data.

01

Define every endpoint

Model connectors, splices, terminals, cables, and explicit cavities, then connect them with stable wire identities and signal data.

  • From/to cavity assignments
  • Wire IDs, signals, colors, and gauges
  • Terminals, seals, and strip lengths
02

Control the physical route

Create bundle segments between installed endpoints and distinguish entered manufacturing lengths from calibrated route-derived measurements.

  • Bundles, branches, and coverings
  • Length tolerances and service allowance
  • Twisted pairs, cable cores, and shielding
03

Prepare the build package

Derive the tables and documents manufacturing needs while preserving configuration, revision, approval, and release boundaries.

  • BOM, cut list, and wire schedule
  • Connector-pin and netlist records
  • Formboard and manufacturing PDF

Manufacturing outputs

Generate reviewable outputs from the harness you designed.

The native harness workbook carries the drawing index, BOM, wiring and cut lists, connector pins, bundles and coverings, labels, netlist, notes, revisions, and configurations. The manufacturing PDF adds the drawing, tables, build notes, and an optional tiled 1:1 formboard.

Harness design workflow

Move from interfaces to a controlled manufacturing draft.

Struct keeps functional intent and physical implementation connected without presenting assumptions or unchecked project data as production truth.

01

Model connectors and interfaces

Record connector identity, cavity counts, pin assignments, cable cores, splices, terminals, and installed endpoints.

02

Add conductors and physical bundles

Assign wire IDs, circuits, gauge, color, cut length, termination data, bundle membership, coverings, and configuration applicability.

03

Check the build record

Run deterministic rules for missing or conflicting data, length and scale problems, termination compatibility, stale part evidence, and release gaps.

04

Review and release deliberately

Generate draft workbook and PDF outputs, inspect the formboard calibration and derived tables, then record the verified revision and approval state.

Wire harness design questions

What engineers need to know before using the outputs.

Struct derives documents from explicit project data. It does not invent missing manufacturing facts or approve a harness automatically.

What is wire harness design software?+

Wire harness design software records the connectors, cavities, conductors, cables, splices, terminals, bundles, coverings, lengths, parts, and build information that define a wire harness. Struct keeps those records together and derives drawings, tables, checks, and manufacturing documents from the same project data.

Can Struct create a 1:1 wire harness formboard?+

Yes. Struct creates a controlled 1:1 formboard from explicit dimensions, scale, origin, bundle routes, fixtures, and release data. The manufacturing PDF tiles the board across landscape pages with overlap and a 100 mm calibration bar. Print at 100% and measure the bar before using the board.

Which wire harness manufacturing outputs can Struct generate?+

Struct generates a native spreadsheet workbook with a drawing index, BOM, wiring and cut lists, connector pins, bundles and coverings, labels, netlist, notes, revisions, and configurations. It also generates a manufacturing PDF with the drawing, optional tiled formboard, BOM, wiring and cut tables, labels, netlist, and build notes.

Does Struct automatically approve a harness for production?+

No. Struct checks the entered project data and blocks or flags incomplete release evidence, but an engineer must verify the controlled source data, requirements, parts, tooling, process, test limits, and approval state before production.

Can wire harness projects be kept private or shared with a team?+

Yes. Keep a harness in private browser-only offline mode or store it in an organization workspace with team access, live synchronization, versions, review links, and audit history.
