NX5 ROUTER IMPLEMENTATION

1. NX5 ROUTER IMPLEMENTATION

2. My name is Jernelle Jones. • I joined Electro-Motive in July 2007. • I have worked with router for about 3 years with several electrical hardware harness groups. • In this past year, I have started the implementation of NX5 Router at EMD.

A Leader in Locomotives… Taking on the Load in Power Products… Quality Solutions for OEM Parts… Superior Performance with EMD Services… North American Freight International Export Passenger Applications Industrial Marine Drilling Applications Stationary Power Repower Kits Locomotive Digital Video Recorders Emissions Solutions EM2000 Control System Locomotive Maintenance Maintenance Services Locomotive Management Intellitrain Remote Monitoring Supply Chain Management

6. WHAT DO WE DO IN THE WIRE GROUP? • EMD develops the wire schematics, wire running list (WRL) and cable form harnesses. • EMD develops voltage cabinets that house the electrical equipment and the associated circuitry.

7. Manufacturing Past Wire Design Techniques • Cabinet mock-up used to develop the routes that determine wire lengths. This is used to create a process drawing. • Building process drawing form boards. Taping, tooling, and any annotations needed. • Then cut sheets for process drawings are manually created.

8. Engineering Past Wire Design Techniques • The schematics are developed by engineering. The WRL list is given to the designer to update the engineering cable form drawings. • The engineering cable form drawings are created in a 2D drafting environment.

9. How did we bridge the gap? BCT 3D-Raster • BCT 3D-Raster bridges the gap between environments of hand drawings, legacy CAD systems and NX5. • BCT 3D-Raster gives you the power to choose to remodel, or to edit the raster image and continue to use it in 2D form.

11. PRESENT WIRE DESIGN • By implementing the program, EMD has changed the way cable form harnesses are designed. • We use the 3D model to form the routing of wires in conjunction with the schematic information. • The route is then put onto a form board drawing with the developed lengths of wires from a cut sheet. • This information is delivered to Manufacturing for build, yet controlled by Engineering.

16. Where We Want To Go • Automated Schematic Software (E3 Software). • Develop routes for all wires in the locomotive. We are at 40% completion. • Use automated wire cutting machines that cut, strips, terminates, & tags all wires.

17. WHY NX5 ROUTER • Error Reduction • Minimizing need to manually reproduce engineering information. • Process Improvement • Drawings can be utilized by Engineering and Manufacturing. • Improved Cycle Time • Harness developed in parallel with Engineering cycle versus during Manufacturing process.
