Case Study: Schneider Electric achieves faster, more efficient manufacturing with ETAP SEE Electrical

Schneider Electric cuts wiring time by 58% with ETAP

Schneider Electric sought to enhance manufacturing efficiency and quality for its engineered-to-order power systems, which required unique and complex switchboard configurations for each project. Their challenge was to accelerate design and assembly workflows, reduce errors, and meet growing customer demands. To address this, they partnered with vendor ETAP to implement its SEE Electrical suite of solutions, including SEE Electrical Expert and SEE Electrical 3D Panel.

ETAP delivered an integrated, cloud-based engineering and project management workflow that created a single digital source of truth. This solution automated design generation from sales orders, provided 3D models for precision, and delivered visual work instructions to the shop floor. The results were significant, including a 58% reduction in wiring time and a 49% reduction in scrap wire in a pilot test. ETAP's solution led to faster assembly, less wasted material, and a higher level of quality across multiple manufacturing sites.
