Why Cloud Based Electrical CAD Software: Capital^™ X Panel Designer

Impressive benefits

Capital X Panel Designer offers impressive benefits that more than saves time or eliminate tedious work, it leaves the engineer free to focus on the important parts of a design, the control scheme, operations and safety of the entire machine.

For many companies, creating and managing technical drawings efficiently are often critical to become competitive with direct impacts on a company's bottom line. Surprisingly, many companies are still using inefficient and costly methods, resulting in higher cost, lower productivity and technical drawings that are only accessible to a few people in an organization.

Cut the amount of time an electrical engineer spends on generating electrical designs, and they could spend more time working with customers. The fact is, technical drawing is an invaluable resource and should be accessible to everyone in an organization.

The advantages of cloud

Because Capital X Panel Designer runs on a browser, it is platform-agnostic, and accessible via mobile devices as well as desktop computers any where in the world. Users can collaborate with remote teams in real time, and ensure all stake holders are informed on the progress. This may include customers, vendors, or other 3rd party contractors.

The number one reason for success or failure of a project is communication, therefore it is critical that all parties to the project are kept in the loop, where resources are synchronized with customizable access permissions.

For small teams, being able to access critical engineering resources from the cloud means the boss can go out to meet a client with a laptop, without asking the engineer to email the latest version over. It also means the engineer can still make some modifications over the cloud if required, even though he or she may be may not be in the office. The days of forgetting to put in place a backup plan are over, as everything is in the cloud, and properly backed up.

For large diverse teams, it is far easier to sync up the latest changes and plans with everyone. IT cost, scalability, business continuity (in case of manpower turnovers), collaboration both internal and external, access to automatic updates, and flexibility of work practices all contribute to a far better bottom line for companies, compared to good old traditional software.

Significantly lower cost

When it comes to software cost, the three most important factors are initial costs, training costs and support costs. Capital X Panel Designer offers considerable savings in all of these key areas when compared to equivalent solutions.

One of the most important and often overlooked cost, is the training required to ensure that the software can be used effectively in the company. Conventional CAD software typically requires specialised training, and can take 3 to 6 months to be productive. In contrast, Capital X Panel Designer requires a maximum of just a few days. All these translates into increased productivity, with practically negligible training and support costs.

Capital X Panel Designer can significantly reduce your engineering cost and its simplicity is driving a great deal of value for every organization.

On premise software (offline privacy)

We understand that many engineers are working on diagrams that needed utmost privacy without access to the internet, and must NOT be available on the cloud, so they can bring their diagrams when commissioning at site.

Capital Panel Designer (Offline version) meets and exceeds these needs, as it has the same engine as the cloud version, and therefore, the same ease of use and productivity tools that you come to expect from us. It only requires a one time online activation, and will work without internet access, all on your familiar desktop.

It lets you save and open files on your desktop and also on your internal servers, just like any desktop program. Should the need arise, you can upload a drawing to Capital X Panel Designer for easy sharing, because both share the same file formats.

Capital Panel Designer (Offline version) contains the same easy to use stencils, plugins and productivity, all from the comfort and security of your desktop.
