Electr ical engineer ing companies provide their customers with their exper t ise and car r y out on their behal f comprehensive studies based

on actual requirements. They must meet a l l requirements of the project management f rom the in i t ia l design to commissioning. Seek ing

qual i f ied suppl iers is an impor tant par t of their task as much as the need to produce project speci f icat ion repor ts which are as complete as

possible. The project documentat ion must be done within the speci f ied durat ion with the highest qual i t y to meet deadl ines and to gua-

rantee a high level of product ion and ser v ice. To meet their customers’ expectat ions, engineer ing design companies have to be equiped

with ef fect ive solut ions.

With a large number of features and contents, elecworks™ al lows to reach a high level of detai led documentat ion f rom scratch. Among

other features: mult isymbol reference al lows design complex electr ical protect ions, in conjunct ion with the large possibi l i t ies to

generate customizable repor ts; the l ink with elec calc a l lows to create comprehensive and detai led documentat ion in ever y single project.

Ensur ing reduced development cost whi le providing greater accuracy are some of the chal lenges this industr y is facing nowadays. This

requires f lex ib le, innovat ive and precise solut ions that enable project development in a shor ter t ime whi le apply ing the highest qual i t y

standards. Reduction in development cycles with product iv i t y improvement and product standardizat ion wi l l benef i t f rom economies of

scale. Modular projects has become necessar y to ensure as faster t imes-to-market, whi le reducing manufactur ing cost.

elecworks™ includes al l the necessar y funct ions to sat isf y the needs of these industr ies, providing al l necessar y features to standardize

and automate these k ind of projects; for example projects macros and mult i-page macros, smar t PLC’s management, pneumatics & hy-

draul ics components, or the integrat ion with 3D CAD sof tware to avoid manufactur ing er rors.

Automation & machinery

ACTIVITY SECTORS - elecworks™ applicationselecworks™ has set features and trends in e lectr ical and automation design, thanks to the accumulate exper ience of Trace

Sof tware International. The proven advantages of e lecworks are i ts functional inter face, i ts appl icabi l i ty to the designing

e lectr ical, automation and machinery, panel bui lders, and maintenance projects. With i ts r ich designing capabi l i t ies, e lecworks™ is

per fectly suited to become integrated in your company as your e lectr ical CAD sof tware, and enhance your productiv i ty.

Maintenance depar tments have an impor tant responsibi l i t y of updat ing in i t ia l documentat ion to take into account a l l the changes that

occur, a l l through the l i fet ime of an insta l lat ion. When an obsolete component fa i ls, i t must be replaced by a cur rent component and

this change must be ref lected in the electr ical diagrams for future modif icat ions or addit ions. I t is ver y common to see projects in which

the or ig inal documentat ion has l i t t le or nothing to do with the cur rent insta l lat ion. Changes made on the project must be taken into

account in the project documentat ion easi ly and quick ly. With elecworks, you wi l l have the r ight tool: wi th a large symbol l ibrar y according

to di f ferent standards, up-to-date manufacturer catalogs with the most recent and per formant mater ia ls and an easy-to-use inter face

ensur ing a ver y shor t learning cur ve. No need to remember a mult i tude of commands especia l ly i f you are going to use the tool, only

once in a whi le. Per t inent messages dur ing a command execut ion, help you learn as soon as you star t using i t.

Panel Bui lder industr y is cur rent ly undergoing a major change where t ime is a key factor and adapting to changes in wir ing diagrams

are rucia l. From the t ime an of fer becomes an order, the purchasing, mechanical and electr ical depar tments star t work ing in

paral le l and need complete information on the project; in real t ime, due to last minute changes f rom the customer or f rom the

supply-chain. In order to enhance panel bui lders per formance, and to ensure a quick del iver y of projects whi le keep data consistent a l l

a long the project, i t is necessar y to have f lex ible solut ions that enable to work f rom scratch f rom any area of the project.

To meet panel bui lders industr y needs, elecworks™ proposes major features such as mult iuser l icensing, that a l low several users to work

at same in the same project, whi le keeping data consistent in an SQL database, and the largest par ts catalog in the market, prov ided by

Tracepar ts (wor ldwide leader in digi ta l contents for engineer ing), to create real ist ic cabinet layouts, reducing the t ime-to-market.

any electr ical or automation project, any engineer or electr ical designer wi l l benef i t to reduce direct and addit ional cost by using this

sof tware f rom scratch thanks to i ts easy-to-use inter face you wi l l become prof ic ient s ince the f i rst day.
