How to brief a wiring harness designer — a 1-page checklist
What to send on day one to get a costed plan back in two working days. Field tested.
Coming soon
Engineering notes from the workbench.
Field-tested thinking on harness design, EDS workflows, 3D CAD, HV harness shielding and the economics of running a design-only consultancy. Plain English, written by the engineers actually doing the work.
The first posts publish soon.
Six launch articles are in draft. We publish when they are useful, not on a schedule. As they go live they will appear in the grid below in place of these placeholders.
Planned
What is coming
Six pieces, one per service or sector — each anchored on a real question we get asked on first calls.
3D CAD vs 2D schematic — when do you actually need 3D harness modelling?
The honest decision tree, with the costs and the timing called out alongside.
Coming soon
What an EDS deliverable looks like — schematic, routed CAD, BOM, test plan
Procurement-side language. What a Tier-1 actually needs from a design consultancy.
Coming soon
HV harness design for EV — five safety standards you can't skip
ECE R100, ISO 6469, IEC 60664, ISO 17409 and what they mean for routing decisions.
Coming soon
Loom design for motorsport — weight, vibration, serviceability
The three things race-team chief mechanics care about, in the order they care about them.
Coming soon
Outsourcing vs in-house harness design — a cost / speed / risk comparison
A 5-axis honest comparison. Outsourcing wins on speed, in-house wins on continuity, and there is a middle ground that is sometimes better than either.
Coming soon
In the meantime
