Engineering Base Platform
Transform your wire harness engineering and manufacturing with the industry's most advanced data-centric collaboration platform. Engineering Base creates a universal digital twin as your single source of truth.
BWS is the North America partner for AUCOTEC, bringing world-class digital engineering solutions to wire harness professionals across the continent.
Why Engineering Base?
A Fundamentally Different Approach
To Wire Harness Engineering
Unlike traditional CAD tools that manage separate documents, Engineering Base uses a data-centric architecture that revolutionizes how engineering teams collaborate.
Data-Centric Architecture
Unlike document-based CAD tools, Engineering Base stores all data in a centralized SQL database. Changes propagate instantly across all views, eliminating version conflicts and ensuring consistency.
Traditional Approach
File-based CAD requires manual synchronization between documents
Engineering Base
Single database updates all diagrams, BOMs, and outputs automatically
True Concurrent Engineering
Multiple disciplines can work on the same project simultaneously. Electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers collaborate in real-time without waiting for file check-ins or merges.
Traditional Approach
Sequential handoffs between departments cause delays
Engineering Base
Parallel work streams with instant visibility into changes
Complete Digital Twin
Engineering Base creates the most comprehensive digital twin for engineering. Every component, connection, and parameter is captured and maintained throughout the product lifecycle.
Traditional Approach
Fragmented data across multiple tools and spreadsheets
Engineering Base
Unified data model serving as single source of truth
Flexible Output Generation
Generate any document format needed - wiring diagrams, system diagrams, formboards, wire lists, BOMs - all from the same data source, always consistent and up-to-date.
Traditional Approach
Manual documentation creation prone to errors
Engineering Base
Automated generation of all deliverables from one model
