In today’s manufacturing landscape, electrical components are essential in nearly every product, and the demand for customizable, connected solutions is pushing this trend even further. As the number of electrical components per product grows, manufacturers face increasing pressure to deliver optimized products faster while maintaining high performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance. Small to medium sized manufacturers, often part of larger OEM supply chains, are especially impacted by these demands. Competing on a global stage, these manufacturers must bring new products to market ahead of their competitors to ensure profitability and growth. 

However, the traditional design approach creates silos between electrical and mechanical engineers. They often work in separate environments—one focusing on the connectivity of wires, the other on their placement in the 3D mechanical space. This lack of integration causes communication gaps, delays in collaboration, and an increase in manual tasks, leading to errors, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities for innovation. The everincreasing design complexity makes this outdated process ineffective, rendering manufacturers unable to keep pace with fastchanging market demands. 

The key to overcoming these challenges lies in a more collaborative, integrated design environment—where electrical and mechanical engineers can codesign in real time. By enabling associativity between ECAD (Electrical CAD) and MCAD (Mechanical CAD) applications, changes are shared instantly, reducing manual errors and delays. This approach fosters better communication, allowing both teams to assess the impact of design changes collaboratively, resulting in faster, more optimized designs. Solid Edge helps you overcome electromechanical design challenges with a dedicated solution for electrical design—enabling true codesign collaboration across electrical and mechanical domains. Based on industry leading technology, our electrical design products are trusted and proven around the world.
