Electrical designers are familiar with this situation: Do you need a specific product for your electrical construction or would you like to replace one of the components you have been using with a newer, more modern version? The search for suitable part data and its transfer to the electrical CAD software often takes up a lot of time – time that could be put to much better use elsewhere. And this is where the manufacturers’ websites and configurators come into play. With Cart Import, WSCAD now offers all manufacturers a free, convenient and easy-to-integrate solution that allows users to download suitable products to their local part database in ELECTRIX software in next to no time. Read below to find out what advantages await manufacturers and designers:
Simple transfer of part data to the WSCAD software
Lengthy search and import processes are a thing of the past if you as a user simply use the WSCAD Cart Import on the respective manufacturer’s website. To do this, select the desired parts for the current project and add them to the shopping basket or watch list on the relevant manufacturer’s website. Then click on the add-to button, which allows you to import them into your WSCAD data library, wscaduniverse.com. With this one click you transfer all relevant parts as a list to wscaduniverse.com. All parts that were not found can be conveniently requested from the wscaduniverse.com team using the pre-filled part enquiry form.
Download whilst saving working time
Once the part list has been transferred from the manufacturer’s website to wscaduniverse.com, add the parts to your download list there. Then open wscaduniverse.com for direct import from your WSCAD ELECTRIX software. You can now open your download list and import all part data with just one click. The data is then available to you in the local part database of your software so that you can work with it quickly and easily. Depending on the complexity, you can save between 30 and 120 minutes per part data download with the WSCAD Cart Import in conjunction with an existing part. The time freed up by minimising the import steps can be put to good use elsewhere.
The wscaduniverse.com data library already contains more than 2.1 million data records from more than 400 manufacturers and recognises formats such as WSCAD, DWG, 3D-step and EDZ. This makes wscaduniverse.com one of the most powerful electrical CAD data libraries in the world.
The specially labelled premium parts from well-known suppliers in the software correspond to the current WSCAD standard and contain all the information required to operate all the functions and interfaces of ELECTRIX, so that time-consuming information searches and manual data completion are no longer necessary.
Upload part data and reach customers directly
As a manufacturer, you will of course also enjoy a number of advantages if you integrate the WSCAD Cart Import function on your website. The implementation is extremely simple and almost effortless, which is why it can be realised in a very short time. This not only makes work easier for your customers, but also for yourself, as this interface allows you to quickly integrate many of your part data into the projects of our joint customers with just one click. As a manufacturer, you can reach over 145,000 electrical CAD users worldwide via wscaduniverse.com. The data library covers over 70% of the German market. Approximately 2 million search queries and almost 1 million downloads per year on wscaduniverse.com speak in favour of integrating the WSCAD Cart Import function on your own website. And best of all, the interface is available to you as a manufacturer completely free of charge.
Conclusion: win-win situation thanks to WSCAD Cart Import
Users and manufacturers alike are in a win-win situation when they use or make available the WSCAD Cart Import interface on the manufacturer’s website. As a manufacturer, by offering users the opportunity to work much more cost-efficiently thanks to WSCAD Cart Import, you not only create a high level of customer satisfaction, but also a wide reach – at no extra cost. As a user, you benefit from the enormous amount of capacity freed up by WSCAD Cart Import, which gives you time for more important tasks or more creative work and saves costs at the same time.
