CONFIGURATION

Automated creation of electrical circuit diagrams with reusable libraries and standardized templates for more efficient engineering.

INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION

At Visuprojekt, we are revolutionizing the classic electrical planning process with modern circuit diagram configuration. With specialized configuration tools, we automate the creation of circuit diagrams and drastically reduce manual drawing work. Instead of developing circuit diagrams from scratch again and again, we use predefined, standard-compliant modules and macros from an extensive library. These blocks are compiled and parameterized by intelligent algorithms according to your specific requirements. The configuration approach guarantees maximum standardization and quality while at the same time offering flexibility for individual customer requirements. Your electrical documentation is thus created in a fraction of the conventional time - with end-to-end consistency, minimal susceptibility to errors and maximum reusability for future projects.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Frequently asked questions and answers on circuit diagram configuration.

What specific time savings can be realized through the circuit diagram configuration?

The circuit diagram configuration fundamentally transforms the planning process and achieves impressive time savings in all project phases. Conventional new planning is accelerated by 60-80%, as preconfigured modules only need to be parameterized, not redrawn. The creation of variants of existing systems is particularly efficient, where we realize time savings of up to 90%. The automated quality check reduces correction loops by an average of 70% and shortens the revision phase accordingly. The creation of documentation also benefits massively: parts lists, clamping plans and production documents are created automatically in parallel with the configuration instead of in separate work steps. The cumulative time saving over the entire engineering process is typically 50-75%. We have proven and documented these effects in numerous customer projects. The ROI for the implementation of circuit diagram configuration is usually achieved after just 3-5 medium-sized projects - a convincing argument for this future technology, especially in markets with high time pressure and a shortage of skilled workers.

How does the creation of your own company-specific libraries work?

The development of your company-specific libraries follows a systematic, four-stage process. We start with a thorough analysis of your existing circuit diagrams to identify recurring structures, standard solutions and typical functional blocks. In close consultation with your experts, we define the optimum degree of modularization - the balance between small, flexible building blocks and practical, application-oriented components. In the second phase, we create parameterizable templates of these modules with variable properties for different applications. The third phase involves defining intelligent rules for the configuration: Which parameters are dependent on each other? Which components can be combined with which? Which dimensioning rules apply? Finally, we implement quality check routines that ensure the standard conformity and technical correctness of the configured results. This process is typically started for core areas of your electrical planning and gradually expanded. After the initial creation, we support you in the continuous optimization and expansion of your libraries - an evolutionary process that constantly increases your engineering efficiency.

Is the circuit diagram configuration also suitable for complex, customized special systems?

The added value of the circuit diagram configuration is particularly evident in complex special systems thanks to a strategic hybrid approach. We analyse your projects according to the 80/20 principle: Typically, 80%, for example, can be assembled from standardizable function modules - such as power supply, motor controls, safety functions or typical control loops - even in a highly individualized system. These components are optimized for the configuration. The remaining 20% highly individual system components are planned conventionally, but seamlessly integrated with the configured elements. The scalability of this approach is particularly valuable: starting with the most frequently recurring functions, the configuration part can be systematically expanded. Our experience shows that time savings of 40-60% can be achieved even with complex special machines. Practical experience also shows that the structured approach to configuration often leads to well thought-out solutions, even for individual challenges - a double gain in efficiency and quality that can hardly be achieved by purely manual planning.

How is conformity with international norms and standards ensured during configuration?

Conformity to standards is a core element of our configuration approach and is guaranteed by a multi-stage quality assurance system. Each library module is developed by our experts in accordance with current national and international standards such as IEC/DIN EN 61439, IEC/DIN EN 60204 and industry-specific standards. The configuration rules contain normative requirements as fixed boundary conditions that cannot be circumvented - such as minimum distances, permissible material combinations or necessary protective measures. Our system is continuously adapted to updates to standards, and we monitor international standards in order to integrate legal changes at an early stage. For international projects, we implement country-specific regulations that automatically apply the relevant local regulations - from UL standards for the North American market to CCC for China. Multilingual component designations and labels in accordance with IEC/DIN EN 81346 are generated automatically. This systematic integration of normative requirements into the configuration process turns compliance from a downstream testing task into an integral part of planning - a fundamental quality advantage.

How does the circuit diagram configuration support collaboration in distributed project teams?

Schematic configuration revolutionizes teamwork in engineering projects with its cloud-based collaboration architecture. Distributed teams access identical libraries and configuration rules, which eliminates inconsistencies and enables parallel work without version conflicts. The clear structure in configurable modules allows a logical division of labor with defined interfaces between sub-projects. Changes to library elements take effect immediately for all participants, making synchronization problems a thing of the past. The integrated authorization management precisely controls who is allowed to edit or only use components. Automatic logging documents all design decisions in a traceable manner and facilitates project handover. The automatic adaptation to country-specific standards with a consistent basic structure is particularly valuable for international projects - an enormous advantage over conventional methods with fragmented planning documents.

What advantages does the circuit diagram configuration offer for the maintenance and servicing of existing systems?

The circuit diagram configuration fundamentally improves the maintenance and servicing of existing systems thanks to its structured documentation and data consistency. Each configured system has a precise digital representation that corresponds exactly to the implemented status - an enormous advantage over often outdated or inconsistent conventional documentation. In the event of faults, the modular structure enables the affected function groups and their components to be identified quickly. Up-to-date parts lists with exact type designations are immediately available for spare parts procurement. If modifications are necessary, changes can first be validated in the configuration model, which eliminates risky field experiments. Unique component identification in accordance with international standards considerably simplifies communication with service technicians. This structured approach demonstrably reduces plant downtimes by 30-50% and lowers life cycle costs through more precise, more efficient maintenance processes - a decisive economic advantage over the entire service life of the plant.

What role does circuit diagram configuration play in the digital transformation of engineering?

Circuit diagram configuration is a key catalyst for digital transformation in engineering and forms the bridge between traditional electrical planning and future-oriented Industry 4.0 concepts. It transforms implicit expert knowledge into explicit, digital models that can be processed algorithmically - the basic prerequisite for AI-supported optimization and automation. The structured, data-driven approach creates the basis for end-to-end digital process chains from engineering and production to operation and service. Systematic metadata enrichment turns circuit diagrams into intelligent information carriers instead of mere drawings. This digitized knowledge base enables innovative applications such as augmented reality support during commissioning or predictive maintenance through digital twins. Consistent standardization and API-based integration into IT ecosystems creates the conditions for continuous data flow in real time between all areas of the company - a fundamental paradigm shift from document-centric to data-centric engineering processes and thus a decisive competitive advantage in the digitalized industrial landscape.repeatClaude can make mistakes.
