HarnessHive
HarnessHive is a cloud-based, AI-native wiring harness design platform that unifies schematic, layout, BOM, and to-scale formboard creation in a single live document. It enables real-time team collaboration with versioned parts libraries and per-user undo, plus an AI assistant that reads the harness to guide engineers through design steps. The platform integrates with existing tools like MCAD, ECAD, and PLM systems, with KiCad and Onshape importers in development.

Problem
Wiring harness engineers typically rely on fragmented, desktop-bound CAD tools that lack real-time collaboration and seamless integration across the design workflow. This leads to inefficiencies, version control issues, and errors when moving between systems design, schematics, and physical harness specifications.
Solution
HarnessHive provides a fully cloud-based, next-generation wiring harness design tool that unifies systems design, schematics, and harness routing in a single browser environment. Engineers can quickly outline electrical systems, define and verify logical connections, and specify reliable routes and dimensions with built-in validation. The platform supports real-time collaborative editing, version tracking, and integration with external tools like API, MCAD, ECAD, and PLM systems, creating a cohesive design ecosystem. An integrated AI assistant reads the harness and helps engineers at every step, from schematic creation to BOM generation. By centralizing the entire workflow in one live document, HarnessHive reduces friction and improves accuracy across the design lifecycle.
Target Audience
Primary users are wiring harness engineers and electrical design teams in automotive, aerospace, and industrial equipment, as well as startups, machine builders, student teams, and harness shops that need a modern, integrated CAD solution for complex harness development.
