Estimate Creation Standard estimating tool Up-to-date pricing Re-use common project information Compare design to estimate for validation
Estimate360 • Create Estimates By System • Easy to duplicate • Easy to re-use • Add System Parts • Add System Points • Add System Labor • Compare Estimates with Design
Design Automation Reduce drawing development time Minimize new product learning curve Create once, save and share Smart shape technology Supported centralized parts database Smart tools
System Diagrams Indicates Relative Position of Devices Depicts Required Wire Conductors Sensor Shapes are assigned to Controllers for easy wiring configuration. Indicates Wiring Terminals Indicates Controller Location and Terminations
Smart Shapes Automate the Mundane Reduce tedious data-entry and mistakes Select from up-to-date options Drawing shapes are intelligent – minimize drawing with “morphing” Shape Morphing Before – Default Shape After – Adapted to selections
Controller Configurations Controller power – correct every time Include transformer wiring or show at device IO configured automatically or entered manually Choose LAN order from a list of controllers Update point names, point type (0-10V, 4-20 ma, Thermistor…), shield Connect IO Modules from list Automatically configures DIP Switches, Jumpers and Resistors based on point type Choose between Current or Voltage outputs
Panel Shapes • Layout professional panels • Custom Visio panel shapes • Scaled – remove the guess • Free space for serviceability • Dimensions ensure accuracy • Automated BOM
Automated Network Layout • Automatically Generate Visio Network Layout from Network tree • Tremendous Service Tool
Smart Tools Make You Smarter & Faster Update Bill of Material Automates BOM – no more manually counting parts Valve selection tool Quickly create valve schedules SmartStruxure power supply calculator Maximize IO modules – no more “best guess” Error checking Automates identifying common mistakes Automate materials management Import iPortal shopping carts
Multi File Library Design by solution vs. design by point Simplify the search process Categorize by customer, market, and solution Reuse proven solutions
Multi File Libraries (MFLs) Simplify the search process Common nomenclature system Single source search tool Search across business unit or company Search by criteria, equipment, customer, or capability Multi File Library is a container for any file type Design360 and/or AutoCAD drawings Sequences Graphics Application programs Start-up / commissioning docs Estimates
Finding Proven Solutions • Search solutions based on: • Keywords • Categories • General Criteria • Equipment • Features
MFL System List • Contains a list of all systems • Search to narrow list • Compare libraries to see differences • All files on local workstations • Enterprise and office distribution • New uses: • Distribute Drawing Standards • Tested Validated & Documented Architectures
MFL System Contents • Design360 drawing • System diagram • Controller wiring • Device / wiring details • Panel Layout • Sequence of operation • Sequence of operation (Word) • Roll up bill of material • Checkout sheet • System point list • Preview image • Estimate360 export • Parts • Points • Application file export • Program binding template • IO binding template
Parts Selection & Savings Single source parts & pricing Up-to-date PDF catalog available offline Simplify / automate purchasing process Strategic supplier and parts
Parts Database Simplify the search process Single source search and selection tool Keywords Part numbers Manufacturers Vendors Certifications (DIACAP, UL) Improved GM Promote preferred and strategic parts Encourage common field devices = subcontract savings Consistency Same Parts Database for Estimates, Designs, and Reports
Part Filters • Find the right part – fast • Filters for: • Sensors • Relays • SE7000 Room Controllers • BAS Controllers – By IO
Part Pricing • Prices updated centrally, by Schneider Electric • Vendor specific multipliers • Office wide updates, stay in sync • Don’t be surprised with price changes • Same prices for Estimate360, Design360 and Studio360
