CABINET ENGINEERING
AI-powered electrical panel design software
- AI support with ELECTRIX AI: Benefit from up to 99% faster engineering
- Replicate past successes using macros
- Prioritize requirements: start with the control cabinet or the schematics
- 3D view of the enclosure: check for collisions, display the cable tray fill level and calculate the wire lengths
- Out-of-the-box integration with manufacturing machines
Start either with the panel layout or the schematics
- Create schematics directly in our electrical CAD software ELECTRIX or easily import schematic data from customers and suppliers.
- Plans created in WSCAD (even from older WSCAD versions) can be imported and processed immediately.
- For schematics in other electrical CAD formats, you can import e.g. component, terminal and wiring lists and then immediately start the control cabinet design in WSCAD.
Automated cabinet design
- Save frequently recurring designs as macros with variables. Use them to create panel layouts in your projects at the touch of a button. This allows you to design a variety of cabinets with different requirements at lightning speed.
Design made easy
- Exact and true-to-scale placement of components to 1/10th of a millimetre
- Automatic calculation of wire lengths and wire routing
- The 3D view provides a better visualisation of the cabinet. The collision check allows potential errors to be identified as early as the design phase.
End-to-end cabinet design with manufacturing integration
- Get your panel ready for manufacturing with just one click: All data required for automated production (wiring lists, drilling/CNC data, parts lists) can be exported effortlessly and reliably. The clever control cabinet design with manufacturing integration saves you 60% of your time!
Wiring, maintenance and service via app
- Wire and maintain your control cabinet conveniently via the WSCAD Augmented Reality app.
- Conveniently wire connections via the app and never lose track thanks to the filter function for devices, wire colours or cross-sections.
- The app gives you immediate access to all plans for service and maintenance, including 3D views of the components used, as well as the complete part data and original manufacturer data sheets – always up-to-date and just a click away.

Six engineering disciplines in one software
Electrical Engineering
Electrical EngineeringWiring diagram design
The Electrical Engineering module in WSCAD ELECTRIX enables you to design medium and low voltage systems for machines, plants, industrial automation and building automation.
Control cabinet designers, facility managers, maintenance engineers and industrial electricians rely on our user-friendly software to handle electrical schematics, control cabinets and all according documents.
Cabinet Engineering
Professional cabinet design and wire routing
With the WSCAD ELECTRIX Cabinet Engineering module designing panels is super easy: use the precise and optimal placement of components, collision checks or the calculation of wire lengths/routes – all of this available during the design phase. Drilling data for components, mounting rails and cable trays can be configured easily through a dedicated menu. The integrated 3D view of the cabinet gives you a better spatial awareness. 
Building Automation
Building AutomationBuilding Automation and measurement control technology
Design layouts and schematics for measurement control technology using the WSCAD ELECTRIX Building Automation module.
Symbols placed in the schematics are linked to the corresponding component and its manufacturer data. This way you can easily generate the BOM for procurement, pricing and manufacturing. You can ensure constant transparency and traceability throughout the entire project. Just rely on the coloured representation of plant schematics and functional diagrams with subsequent evaluation of all functions, materials, field devices and cables.
Electrical Installation
Electrical InstallationInstallation diagrams and distribution planning
Design building system technology, medium- and low-voltage installations, as well as antenna and fire alarm systems. The Electrical Installation module of WSCAD ELECTRIX is your tool from design to delivery, including the 3D location of equipment in plants and buildings. Import PDF or DWG floor plans at scale, place all the field devices and link them to the existing symbol data of the schematics.
Piping & Instrumentation
Piping & InstrumentationProcess engineering and measuring point management
Design piping and instrumentation diagrams easily using WSCAD ELECTRIX P&ID (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams) module.
By linking every P&ID component with their representation in another engineering discipline you get a consistent design. Add the unique, sequential numbering of measuring points and you will be able to remove errors in a breeze.
Fluid Engineering
Fluid EngineeringPneumatic and hydraulic systems
WSCAD ELECTRIX is your ideal companion to design pneumatic and hydraulic systems. The Fluid Engineering discipline includes all the benefits of the Electrical Engineering module, plus special fluid functions. Designers and maintenance engineers get all the tools they need for the end-to-end design of mechatronic tasks – quickly, intuitively and efficiently.
