Feasibility Assessment in Wiring Harness Development: Presentation at Bordnetze Digital 2025

The growing variety of variants in modern vehicles is creating ever greater challenges for electrical distribution system and wiring harness development. As complexity increases, so does the need for reliable methods to identify at an early stage which product variants are actually feasible.

At the Bordnetze Digital event at Arena2036, we demonstrated how this challenge can be addressed through automated manufacturability checks.

The focus of our presentation was on how large numbers of variants can be processed and evaluated efficiently. The goal is to make reliable assessments of variant manufacturability early in the development process and to identify potential conflicts at an early stage.

It became clear that manufacturability checks are far more than just a technical validation. They provide an essential foundation for managing complexity in modern E/E architectures and help development teams make decisions based on a consistent and reliable data foundation.

From our perspective, close collaboration across different disciplines is a key success factor. Developing powerful manufacturability services requires combining domain expertise in electrical distribution system development with competencies in software engineering, data management, and process design.

During the presentation, our expert Nicola shared practical insights into current challenges and solution approaches related to automated manufacturability checks. The discussions that followed with industry peers confirmed that this topic is becoming increasingly important across the industry.

Our exhibition booth also sparked numerous engaging conversations about variant management, data quality, and future requirements in electrical distribution system and wiring harness development. The direct exchange with engineers, project managers, and industry experts provided valuable insights and fresh perspectives.

We would like to thank everyone who visited us for their strong interest, positive feedback, and engaging technical discussions. Events such as Bordnetze Digital demonstrate how essential collaboration and knowledge sharing are for successfully addressing the challenges of future vehicle generations.
