S o l u t i o n

• PTC Creo replaces a manual process to identify electricalnon-compliances

• PTC Creo was selected because it is the only virtual prototyping solution that provides ability to check insulation compliance on complex mechatronic systems

• PTC Creo enables ECAD and MCAD collaboration, essential to design electric systems with embedded electronics

I n i t i a t i v e s

• Improve time to market by increasing designers’ productivity in compliance checks

• Manage late stage design iterations and identify potential issues early in the process to reduce costs

• Continue to improve product quality while designing more compact products requiring more exhaustive electrical path checks

R e s u l t s

• Schneider Electric doubled its productivity using PTC Creo for electrical compliance checks, but still manages some standard electrical compliance checks by other means

• PTC Creo raised early electrical non-compliance detection rate from 70% to 100%

• Schneider Electric checks compliance as far as printed circuit copper tracks, imported in PTC Creo by custom means
