Simplifying Electrical Engineering, and Connecting Fabrication & Workers to Drive Productivity

The nVent HOFFMAN Design to Manufacturing (DTM) Software is a proven and simple engineering solution for designers and manufactures to plan and design electrical enclosures, machines, and factory systems to automate panel building through intelligent 2D/3D workflow, enabling the digital twin.  

 

An integral part of the nVent HOFFMAN Design to Manufacturing Platform tailored to meet the requirements of our customers.  

 

With its easy-to-use intelligent central parts library, designers can now efficiently work on a single project while the software automatically ensures the data is synchronized making the design and planning process easy, while reducing errors.  

 

All so you can maintain a single source of truth, while simplifying processes and increasing productivity.  

 

Simplify design to minimize manual drafting and improve quality  

  • Easily create electrical panels and cabinets in 2D with 3D visualization.  

  • Easy-to-use, highly automated electrical and fluid power schematic options.  

  • Automatically checks, enforces and reports electrical and mechanical design quality standards.  

 

Capture and deploy knowledge to standardize design and drive efficiencies  

  • Centralized intelligent library improves and enables standardization, and easily captures automation strategies and processes.  

  • Stores engineering and manufacturing rules and considerations in the library to improve standardization and streamline repeatability.  

  • Connects with leading mechanical solutions and enables digital twin creation to support mechanical designs.  

 

Connect engineering to manufacturing to improve quality, efficiency and precision
