Case Study: Stone Aerospace achieves 12-week cabling design savings with Zuken E3.series

Stone Aerospace saves 12 weeks in cabling design with Zuken

Stone Aerospace, a partner in NASA's Europa Clipper mission concept, faced a tight schedule in designing a unique autonomous underwater vehicle to test radar under Antarctic ice. The challenge was to efficiently design a complex wiring harness without errors that could cause costly delays. They turned to Zuken and implemented its E3.series electrical design software to address this.

By using Zuken's E3.series, Stone Aerospace automated the design process and integrated logical and physical designs on a single platform. This included creating a common parts library and using automated checks for connector compatibility. The solution reduced the wiring harness design cycle by 12 weeks and saved an estimated $20,000 by eliminating cable rework and expedited delivery costs, while also improving team collaboration and design quality.
