3D switchboard design software saves time

Switchboards may seem like simple products, but in reality, they are very sophisticated pieces of equipment to design and assemble. Switchboards have a complex value chain and are often unique, making standardization difficult.

Complexity aside, power equipment manufacturers (PEMs) are required to build switchboards that can withstand harsh environments and drive critical assets in their customer’s facilities. Additionally, switchboard requirements impose a high level of mechanical and automation expertise. This highly competitive environment puts considerable stress on lead time commitments and margins. In short, the power equipment manufacturer’s job is not an easy one.
