Increasing Wire Harness Manufacturing and Profitability


Listen Later

Welcome to Talking Aerospace Today – a podcast for the Aerospace & Defense industry. The place that brings the promise of tomorrow’s technology to the ears of our listeners today. 

Whether you’re talking OEM or independent supplier, aerospace wire harness manufacturing is under unprecedented pressure these days. Profitability constraints are everywhere. To make matters worse, increased electrification of a platform has taken harness complexity to perplexing new heights. From the need to rapidly transition design changes into production, to serving demanding customers who expect lower cost assemblies delivered faster just in time, when it comes to wire harness manufacturing the list goes on and on.

I’m your host, Scott Salzwedel, and in our final episode “Increasing wire harness manufacturing and profitability” of the electrical systems podcast series, I’ll be joined by Anthony Nicoli, the Aerospace & Defense Director of Integrated Electrical Systems for Siemens Digital Industries Software. We’ll be discussing what goes into designing, building and installing a wire harness assembly, as well as the trends impacting manufacturing and how a digitalized process offers multiple advantages.

Tune in to learn more about the complexities behind wire harness manufacturing and how to stay profitable during this time of great innovation and intense industry challenges.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Why relying on electrical systems has substantially increased the pressure on OEMs and their suppliers (02:14)
  • The increasing need to change the traditional manufacturing tools (03:32)
  • How OEMs can reduce wire harness manufacturing cost and risk (04:08)
  • What it means to have a digitalized process (05:36)
  • How a model-based approach is used to address today’s harness manufacturing challenges (06:42)
  • The importance of electrical and mechanical co-design (07:34)
  • The role digitalization plays in wire harness manufacturing (08:15)
