WSCAD Unveils ELECTRIX AI-Powered Electrical CAD

WSCAD, developer of an AI-powered electrical design platform, has officially launched its U.S. market version of ELECTRIX AI. 

Designed and used in Europe for more than 30 years, ELECTRIX AI combines electrical engineering, control cabinet design, fluid and process engineering, electrical installation, and building automation in one electrical CAD solution. Built-in AI capabilities accelerate engineering workflows, allowing electrical engineers and designers to reduce manual work and automate the creation of finished parts and products, such as design schematics, supporting files, and bill of materials.  

ELECTRIX AI helps users work across tasks, from importing schematic data, exchanging components, and validating project requirements and compliance to translating documentation and automatically generating control cabinets, wiring and finished design files. 

“Electrical engineers do not need more hype around AI, they need practical tools that help them get real work done faster,” says Dr. Axel Zein, CEO of WSCAD. “ELECTRIX AI gives engineers an AI-powered assistant that supports their work inside the CAD environment, helping them save time, work smarter, reduce friction in the design process and create capacity for more innovation.” 

ELECTRIX AI is fully equipped to meet U.S. electrical specifications and regulatory requirements. It comes with complete support for NFPA 79, includes all the relevant IEEE 315 / ANSI Y32.2 symbols, and lets users design projects in full compliance with NFPA 70 (NEC) and UL 508A. 

Key Product Features  

ELECTRIX AI streamlines steps in the electrical design process. Key capabilities include:  

• AI-assisted project checks: Users can upload project requirements and have the software review schematics against those specifications.
• Automated project translation: Engineers can translate electrical project documentation into more than 102 languages directly inside the software. 
• Control cabinet generation: Once schematics are complete, the software can automatically generate layouts, place components and support routing workflows. 
• Library of components and schematics from U.S. manufacturers such as Rockwell Automation, Eaton, Honeywell, Phoenix Contact, nVent Hoffmann, TE Connectivity and more. In all, more than 2.2 million files.  

To learn more of the platform’s capabilities, an interactive webinar is slated for May 6, 2026 at 1 p.m. CST. Register at this link.
