February 26, 2008 - Munich, Germany and Westford, MA, USA - Zuken makes the design of hydraulics and pneumatics a more cohesive part of the design process in the 2008 version of the dedicated fluid design module of the E³.series environment.  Hydraulics design engineers benefit from the best of both the individual and collective approaches to design.  Hydraulic and electrical designs are integrated through a combined design platform that has the flexibility to customize views to select only essential electrical design information; eliminating the unnecessary burden of irrelevant electrical complexity within the design view.  In addition, both hydraulics and electrical designers can now work within E³.series simultaneously, enabling them to work more collaboratively while improving quality and reducing development cycles.

In the 2008 version, many of the advancements also have a direct advantage for the E³.fluid user.  It has improved functionality for quickly managing product variants and options and the ability to embed any file for improved project management.

About E³.series

E³.series is Zuken’s Windows-based modular, scalable and intuitive system for the engineering of electrotechnical, pneumatics and hydraulics applications; electronic components cabling and wiring harnesses.  The sharing of a singular core object-orientated architecture that supports the entire engineering flow from concept creation through to manufacturing eliminates the need for data transfer between the different modules.  This reduces errors, increases quality and allows engineering changes to be completed much more efficiently.  E³.series can also be smoothly integrated with existing applications and processes through standard and customizable, bi-directional programmable interfaces.
