Komax, the global leader in automated wire processing solutions, has expanded its digital manufacturing portfolio with the launch of WIRE Mind, a modular, cloud-based software solution designed to digitalize and optimize wire set creation for panel builders and control cabinet manufacturers. Alongside the software, Komax also introduced wire2GO, a complementary production ready wire set delivery service available exclusively to WIRE Mind users. Together, the offerings create a complete digital to production workflow designed to increase speed, accuracy, and flexibility in wire harness preparation.
Digital Wire Engineering Meets Production Ready Output
Buffalo Grove IL – Developed for manufacturers seeking higher throughput and reduced manual handling, WIRE Mind provides an end-to-end digital process for generating wire lists, bundling sequences, and machine ready production files. The platform accepts data from Excel, CSV, and leading ECAD systems, automatically mapping wire attributes and validating imported information to reduce errors early in the process.
Once configured, wire sets can be enriched with precise lengths, missing end treatments, and customized labeling. The system then generates optimized sequence bundles or round bundles, ready for automated production on Komax Zeta machines.
Key Capabilities of WIRE Mind
- Intuitive configuration: Build or import wire sets within minutes.
- Automated sorting and bundling: Intelligent grouping for efficient assembly workflows.
- Machine ready output: Direct integration with highly automated wire processing systems.
- Error reduction: Data validation minimizes manual corrections.
- Higher productivity: Customers are achieving assembly speeds up to 80% faster with optimized bundles.
wire2GO: A Purpose-Built Service for WIRE Mind Users
Komax’s new wire2GO service expands the value of WIRE Mind by offering fully sequenced, labeled, and bundled wire sets, produced directly from the software’s digital configurations. The service is exclusively available to WIRE Mind users, ensuring a consistent, integrated workflow from data preparation to delivered wire bundles.
Designed for manufacturers at every stage of digital transformation, wire2GO provides immediate production capacity without requiring upfront investment in automated equipment. This enables companies to start optimizing workflows, test new processes, bridge equipment delivery times, and maintain output during periods of operational stress.
Key Benefits of wire2GO
- Workflow testing without risk: Validate digital workflows before equipment investments.
- Lead time mitigation: Begin realizing WIRE Mind benefits immediately.
- Operational continuity: Maintain wire production during downtime, maintenance, or supply chain disruptions.
- Scalable path to automation: Access advanced sequence-based production without building in house capabilities.
A Scalable Path Toward Fully Digitalized Wire Production
Together, WIRE Mind and wire2GO offer a unified and scalable approach to wire preparation and manufacturing. Companies can begin with digital workflow optimization through WIRE Mind and then expand into automated or outsourced production at their own pace.
“By pairing WIRE Mind with the wire2GO service, we’re providing manufacturers with a flexible, future proof way to modernize their wire preparation process,” said John Olsen, Managing Director at Komax Brookfield. “wire2GO is exclusively for WIRE Mind users because it ensures a seamless digital thread, from engineering data to the physical wire sets that arrive ready for assembly.”
