PACCAR

BOM Wire Tracer

Harness drawings show the schematic and layout of the electrical wires used in PACCAR’s vehicles. Because there are several harness files not within the same system, it requires a lot of hand tracing to analyze the harness in the circuit. To solve the issue, this student team worked to design a software that takes in multiple BOM (bill of materials) and fuse maps to auto-trace and analyze the risk level of each circuit in the BOM.
