Anyone using Harnware?

Hey folks,

Are any of you using Harnware? I'm considering investing in it, fundamentally to save time in documentation.

I'm finding I'm spending a considerable about of time on documentation and if I can save a few hours per project that will soon add up to cover the cost. Following the initial investment, the annual per-seat licence cost seems like excellent value.

Just after some feedback from anyone who's using it, whether its been a good investment and sped up your processes etc.

Cheers

Alex

Im interested to hear also. Im using Rapid Harness at the moment and it works ok but it is too basic and locked down for the cost. Lots of basic functionality missing such as it cant show how many wires are in a bundle etc. Harnware on the otherhand looks like it has most functionality that is needed but the fact that it was last updated in 2011 and the drawing part of it is based on Visio scares me off a little.

What is the price for Harnware? Interested, too.

Hey guys, sorry for the slow reply. Been flat out busy& travelling a lot.

So the way it works with Harnware is you pay for a TE training course (around £1500 here in the UK) and then an annual seat price that is around (£250). The training course includes the first years seat price.

In my opinion the pricing structure is good, keeping long term costs low but I’ve not been able to talk with anyone using it for feedback. I need to arrange an e-meeting with one of the guys at TE soon to discuss - hoping a fly-through demo will give a good overview, so I will report back :)

OK, sounds fairly reasonable. Thanks for getting back on this.

Will check if there are also training courses available in Germany. I feel it could be a worthwhile investment.

Hi Alex,

maybe you can share contact of TE guys responsible about Harnware?

John.Cronin@te.com would be one of your contacts for this.

Training is 1500 GBP + VAT for the 3 day course (TE number 5-120027-3)

Included is 1 year license, after one year it is 250 GBP + VAT per year.

Hi folks

I am interested also in wiring harness design software. I searched in the internet and found:

1) Harnware from TE.

2)rapid harness.

3)Zuken e3.

I tried rapid harness its good to start but the subscription fees relatevely high.

Zuken e3 is amazing and it's really professional software.

Currently I am reading about it and watching youtubes. I advice you to take a look on it.

Regards

Ebrahim

Hi there,

I just had a discussion with the Rapid Harness support. It's possible to buy a one month license, build the harness, cancel the license and keep using the harness in read-only mode.

Eay1981, do you have any idea regarding Zuken prices?

I just checked out the Harnware website. It's not clear for me if you can do the initial pinout in Harnware or is it only to draw the harness Layout?

How does the workflow look like? Is it possible to build up a database of connectors pinouts? As an example, I want to save the pinout of a Evo 6 wiper motor for the next project into the libary.

Anyone knows any of these?

You can do just about every step of the design, construction, layout, layers and documentation though harnware. It's an amazing and in depth program with a lot features and functions. It just some time to figure out how to use the software.

Is the harnware course an online course?

I'm in doubt with rapid harness, e3 cable 365 or harnware.
