How to Generate Wiring Labels the Easy Way

We are now part of Siemens’ family. Electra Cloud is now Capital Electra X and Electra E9 is now Capital Electra 2210.

Wiring labels are essential to keeping track of cables and wires during the production and installation of an electrical panel, therefore being able to easily generate labels is the very first step to a good and proper cable management.

Typically, electrical engineers will have to manually list out the information and details (i.e. wiring and wiring terminals) before printing out the labels. This requires a huge chunk of time just for identifying, determining, and keying in all the data. The process is time-consuming and mistakes are easily made, especially when the job requires high concentration.

Generate wire labels easily in just a few clicks

We understand the pain and took the opportunity in offering electrical engineers a better way to generate wiring labels without hassle. Now, you can get your wire labeling swiftly and easily on Electra Cloud.

With Electra's Wire Labeling plugin, our Electrical Schematic CAD software can automatically identify and list all wires in an electrical schematic and export to different file formats such as TSV, CSV, and JSON.

After completing your drawing, click on the Plugin tab and select Productivity Tools | Export Labelling.

Access the plugin from the plugin tab's context menu

Then click on Export labeling to run the plugin.

Export and download the labels according to your preferred format

Once downloaded you can then use or modify the data and upload to your favourite label printer.

The advantages of utilizing wire labeling plugins?

With automated wire labeling plugin, not only it'll save the electrical engineers more time, there's less errors as well, which allows the engineer to spend more time focusing on other more important aspects of their work.
