ABB Harnessflex Launches Digital Product Catalog to Streamline Engineering Design and Integration
Time:2026-04-29 Browse: 2
ABB has introduced a new digital product catalog for its Harnessflex range, enhancing accessibility to cable protection and connectivity solutions for engineers working in demanding industrial environments.
Designed for use in vehicles and heavy-duty machinery, where exposure to dust, moisture, and corrosive substances is common, the Harnessflex® portfolio has been protecting electrical wiring systems since 1984. The product range includes flexible conduit systems, connector interfaces, and hinged fittings engineered to safeguard against mechanical wear, fluid ingress, extreme temperatures, and corrosive salts.
To support product selection and system integration, Harnessflex now offers verified CAD data through the eCATALOG platform powered by CADENAS and its 3Dfindit engineering search engine. The move reflects ABB’s broader digitalization strategy, building on successful adoption of the platform across other business units.
The digital catalog enables engineers to directly integrate CAD models into design environments via drag-and-drop functionality, including compatibility with tools such as Zuken E3.series through Zuken Component Cloud.
The platform provides access to all three key Harnessflex product families:
Standard Black, designed for low-voltage applications
X-Temp, suited for extreme temperature environments
EVO, developed for high-voltage electric vehicle applications
The catalog covers the full product ecosystem, including conduits, fittings, connector interfaces, and accessories, with additional components expected to be added over time.
Key features of the digital catalog include:
Easy and open access to part data
Fast drag-and-drop integration into engineering workflows
Visual search capabilities
Interactive, rotatable 3D CAD models
Downloadable PDF datasheets
Beyond improving the user experience for engineers, the platform also simplifies data management and customer inquiries. According to ABB, the integration of eCATALOG 3Dfindit enables more efficient handling of product information while providing insights such as monthly usage analytics to support lead generation.
Industry observers note that digital product catalogs are becoming an increasingly important tool in industrial design and procurement, helping reduce development time and improve accuracy in component selection—particularly in sectors such as transportation and electrification, where system reliability is critical.
