Boeing chooses Concentra's ICAD System for electrical configuration; Cycle time for aircraft wire routing will be significantly decreased.BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 1995--Concentra Corporation (Nasdaq: CTRA CTRA Canadian Therapeutic Recreation Association CTRA College Terrace Residents' Association CTRA Canadian Telecommunications Resellers Alliance CTRA Committee To Restore America ), a leading supplier of sales and engineering automation software solutions, today announced that The Boeing Company has selected Concentra's design process automation solution, The ICAD ICAD International Community for Auditory Display ICAD Individual Chemical Agent Detector ICAD Institute of Community and Area Development ICAD Individual Channel Analysis and Design ICAD Integrated Computer Aided Design ICAD Iowa City Area Development Group, Inc. System (tm), to design wire harness routing for Boeing commercial airplanes Boeing Commercial Airplanes is a unit of The Boeing Company, based in Renton, Washington consisting of the Seattle-based former Boeing Airplane Company (the civil airliner division), as well as the Long Beach-based Douglas Aircraft division of the former McDonnell Douglas . Financial terms were not disclosed. After an exhaustive nine month technology evaluation, Boeing chose Concentra's object-oriented technology See object technology. which can be used to route electrical wiring Electrical wiring in general refers to insulated conductors used to carry electricity, and associated devices. This article describes general aspects of electrical wiring as used to provide power in buildings and structures, commonly referred to as building wiring. for a range of aircraft without the need to create aircraft-specific applications. Furthermore, the wire harness routing application can be used to codify codify to arrange and label a system of laws. the best practices of electrical routing designers from a range of Boeing groups and uniformly distribute the collective expertise to all groups. "To date, Boeing has been one of the most innovative users of Concentra's technology, implementing breakthrough applications in conceptual design, structural design and tooling," said Larry Rosenfeld, chairman and chief executive officer of Concentra. "The same technology and accumulated ac·cu·mu·late v. ac·cu·mu·lat·ed, ac·cu·mu·lat·ing, ac·cu·mu·lates v.tr. To gather or pile up; amass. See Synonyms at gather. v.intr. To mount up; increase. expertise will now be applied to manage the complexity and variability of aircraft wire harness routing. We believe The ICAD System will enable Boeing to significantly reduce cycle time, increase accuracy and lower the overall cost of electrical routing for each aircraft."
