How are wire harnesses made?

Wire harnesses go through many stages of design and manufacturing before a concept is ready for in-field use. First, our brilliant design team will meet with the client to determine the specs of the project. The design team use tools like computer aided drafting programs to produce the measurements for the necessary components of the system.

Once design elements are finalized, we move on to prototyping. Prototyping allows us to produce multiple iterations of the proposed design. After several rounds of testing from automated testing machines like our Cerrus units, these prototypes will progress into our “life lab” where the components will be subjected to real-world conditions and continually evaluated for functionality, durability, and, above all, safety. Prototyping also affords our design staff the time to see if different source materials will be viable logistically. If a certain elements don’t  arrive in an efficient and economically viable manner, it can throw off the whole manufacturing process and increase expenses. Prototyping allows for any logistical hurdles to be worked out ahead of production runs so the process can proceed as smoothly as possible. The prototype iteration will also help our production team know which tools will need to be reserved from our custom tool crib.

How can wire harnesses offer a low-cost solution for keeping wires organized?


Wire harnesses can help group together specific sets of wires and cables within a system that are intended to serve a different purpose. Within an industrial control system like those that automate a manufacturing process, a multitude of different cables and wires will generate the necessary signals, data, and power that runs the system’s many moving parts. Because they are not made to have to withstand the same external pressures as a cable assembly, a wiring harness helps engineers and contractors to cost-effectively keep everything efficient and organized within the space.
