Piaggio Selects Zuken Software for Design

The Piaggio Group, a designer of two-wheelers, has chosen Zuken‘s E³.series to help streamline electrical design efficiency and quality. The company manufactures scoots and motorcycle brands such as Vespa, Aprilia and Moto Guzzi.

By using Zuken’s software, Piaggio will be able to reduce time to market and accommodate the increased scale of operations, a press release states. The company has already used it to exchange data with existing CAD tools.

“We looked for a tool to give an end-to-end design path from schematic capture to physical design,” said Luigi Baracchino, electrical engineering manager, Piaggio. “One of the reasons E³.series stood out is its inbuilt electrical intelligence. This will help us reduce rework and add digital prototyping into our engineering design process to satisfy challenging time-to-market and quality demands. Piaggio Group previously used a generic rather than wiring harness-dedicated 2D design tool for cabling design, but it was unable to meet stringent new cost effectiveness, global parts unification and time efficiency targets. We selected E³.series after benchmarking several CAD tools.”
