Tata Autocomp Expands Deployment Of Electrical Systems Design Tools

Mentor Graphics, a provider of electronic hardware and software design solutions, has announced that Tata Autocomp Systems (TACO) is expanding its deployment of the CHS electrical/ wire harness design tools. TACO, part of the Tata Group, provides components and design services to the worldwide automotive industry. With several years of experience using Mentor Graphics software, TACO uses CHS to offer cost-competitive vehicle systems integration and wire harness design services internationally.

Within the CHS product suite, TACO primarily uses the Capital Harness tool, a computer-aided design, engineering and costing application developed specifically for the wire harness industry. This product provides comprehensive harness design capture capabilities, supplemented by a rich array of functionality for automating engineering tasks by intelligently adding value to raw design data. Like all CHS products, the Capital Harness tool is supported by data management, integration and reporting tools. All data is stored within an electrical database to promote maximum re-use, flexibility and consistency.

“CHS is a powerful vehicle electrical design platform available,” said Sanjay Srivastava, GM, TATA Autocomp Systems. “Not only does TACO benefit internally from the comprehensive engineering functions, we also find that many of our customers already use CHS. Native design data compatibility, combined with CHS’s comprehensive data exchange and integrity checking capabilities, ensures a very robust environment for design service businesses such as ours.”
