ELECDES

Electrical, Control and Instrumentation Design software by SCADA Systems Ltd.


Elecdes is the award winning design software for Electrical Engineering drawing creation, data and design analysis. Elecdes is a collection of design tools to improve your productivity. Elecdes is a true multi-user, multi-referencing, multi-editing, project and database driven designer. Elecdes can check and cross reference against all drawings defined in a project whilst separate editing sessions are in progress. The performance limits are defined by the system workstations in place and the number of licensed Elecdes packages in use.
