With ELECTRIX ROCKET you will increase your productivity and set new standards in performance. Experience the future of electrical CAD design today!

Benefit from numerous innovations:

  • Enormously improved performance, especially when zooming in and out of plans with a large number of elements.
  • Newly developed search function in the Material and Product Explorer: Find required projects and materials in no time. Endless scrolling is a thing of the past.
  • Better overview through the possibility of grouping element
  • Enhanced and optimised context menu: Get relevant options immediately when right-clicking on selected items without causing unnecessary distractions.
  • New tooltip functions in the item management: View the individual components of combined items by mouse-over.
  • Extra for building automation: New vertical division of the function lists for the clear distribution of important information on several sub-pages, without impairing readability.
  • Your plan as an exact reflection of reality: With the real-time scaling of P&ID symbols, you can create plans that reflect the actual size ratios of plant components.

Modular, scalable and flexible: buy or subscribe

Whether you need additional functions or more licenses, the WSCAD solution is modular and scalable. It grows with the increasing demand, without data breaks. To immediately enhance your application, simply activate your product key and you are done.

You can buy or rent WSCAD ELECTRIX. The short-term rent covers temporary needs or peak loads. While the long-term rental (12 months or longer) helps you use ELECTRIX cost-effectively without burdening your capital investment.

The software license is available for a single user (node ​​locked) or as a multi-user network license (floating). Network licenses offer additional investment protection: you can use the borrow-function to temporarily borrow network licenses. Should you lose your laptop e.g. lost on a trip, the license will automatically jump back to the server after the borrowing period expires. The license is not lost and your investment remains protected.

Usability, functionality at a fair price

Usability is our top priority, because 55% of all Electrical CAD users claim that ease of use is by far their most important feature. And although ELECTRIX is easy to use, it provides a very wide range of functions. You can start small and expand the functionality at any time via add-on modules. Electrical schematics, control cabinets, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID), fluid power, building automation as well as the entire electrical installation – everything is implemented consistently on one platform. This saves a lot of time when implementing changes and it helps you avoid costly mistakes.

Good software doesn’t have to be expensive: ELECTRIX comes with a very competitive price tag and is usually much more affordable than software from our competitors. And you will find that this advantage also applies to the annual recurring maintenance costs. See for yourself!

ELECTRIX runs with automation

We believe in automating processes and routine tasks, so engineers and designers can make better use of their valuable time. Numerous design templates (macros) are the first step of automation. By creating a company-wide uniform standard, you save time and raise the quality of your designs. Schematics can then be generated automatically from these templates (macros) at the push of a button. This saves days and weeks of valuable work hours. The complete generation of schematics can be automated by using product configurators with WSCAD ELECTRIX. Engineering time is reduced from weeks to just a few minutes. Find out how companies like Bruckmann Steuerungstechnik or Caterpillar have implemented this with WSCAD.

ELECTRIX includes Augmented Reality

With the Cabinet AR app maintenance personnel and service technicians can scan field devices and components from a control cabinet. They then have immediate access to the actual schematics, including BMK, 3D views of the component, part data and original data sheets from the manufacturer. The availability of a component can also be determined in real time. On the shop floor, workers can use the Cabinet AR app to mark wired connections using a smart wiring checklist and thus save the current status. An evaluation always ensures that nothing has been missed

A unique highlight of the WSCAD ELECTRIX are the two augmented reality apps. Both apps are free of charge in the Apple App Store and on Google Play

Building AR App
Cabinet AR App

We have developed an augmented reality to help building designers scan buildings in no time. This becomes necessary, if changes are made to an existing building and the documentation is not available or if it contains many errors. With the Building AR app you can scan entire rooms including doors and windows and save them as a DXF file. The DXF file can then be further edited in WSCAD ELECTRIX. Scanning rooms or even an entire building is easy.

ELECTRIX is lightning fast

We paid particular attention to speed and performance, because speed is one of the top three most important features for electrical CAD users. Projects with more than 1,000 pages can be handled at lightning speed. A PLC is created in no time at all, terminal management is super easy and the complete documentation of your project is ready up to 10 times faster than in previous versions. As a WSCAD user, you simply finish your work faster. And of course you can re-use all your old WSCAD SUITE data without any loss.

Benefits of the new software WSCAD ELECTRIX

Our awardwinning usability got even better
  • New Design Engine (Editor) with intuitive look & feel and lots of improvements:
