Siemens Launches Electrical Designer in TIA Selection Tool Cloud, Revolutionizing Electrical Planning for Machine Design

Electrical Designer simplifies main circuit design by automatically selecting components, verifying short-circuits, sizing cables, and creating all necessary documentation in one easy process.

(IN BRIEF) Siemens has introduced Electrical Designer, a new cloud-based software module within the TIA Selection Tool Cloud, aimed at revolutionizing electrical planning for machine design. The system integrates international standards knowledge (IEC 60204-1) with automated functions such as component selection, short-circuit analysis, cable sizing, and documentation creation. It enables faster, error-free design while supporting collaborative, cloud-based workflows. Offered free to all TIA Selection Tool users, Electrical Designer eliminates manual calculations and outdated planning methods, setting a new benchmark in digital engineering. Siemens will present the innovation at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg.

(PRESS RELEASE) ZUG, 4-Nov-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Siemens has unveiled Electrical Designer, a groundbreaking feature within the TIA Selection Tool Cloud, designed to transform the way engineers plan and dimension electrical equipment for machines. As the first and only cloud-based software in the IEC market that integrates electrical design expertise and international standards knowledge, Electrical Designer automates critical tasks such as component selection, short-circuit verification, cable sizing, and documentation generation — all in a single, streamlined workflow.

Electrical design often involves repetitive manual work, time-consuming calculations, and challenges with integrating mechanical and electrical planning data. Siemens’ new solution addresses these inefficiencies by providing a standards-compliant, automated process that dramatically reduces planning time while improving precision and reliability. What previously took several hours can now be completed in less than half the time, thanks to a cloud-native architecture that enables real-time collaboration and always up-to-date project data.

Thanks to cloud technology, users can collaborate on projects from anywhere and always have access to the latest planning data.

“Electrical Designer from Siemens is a quantum leap in electrical planning,” said Andreas Matthé, CEO Electrical Products at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “It’s the world’s first browser-based solution that unites standards compliance, short-circuit analysis, and automatic dimensioning in one platform. By cutting planning time in half and eliminating errors, it sets a new benchmark for the future of engineering.”

Electrical Designer offers an intelligent, intuitive interface for professionals working under IEC 60204-1 standards. The software’s advanced logic allows engineers to perform end-to-end short-circuit analysis, automatically select appropriate switchgear and network components, and simulate load limits to optimize machine performance for specific grid conditions. Its built-in standards database ensures compliance with the latest IEC requirements without the need for manual research or external documentation.

Key benefits include:

• Comprehensive automation: The tool automatically designs the main circuit, performs short-circuit verification, sizes cables, and generates complete documentation — reducing errors and improving overall design quality.
• Integrated collaboration: As a fully cloud-based application, Electrical Designer supports multi-user access from any device and location, enabling engineers to collaborate seamlessly on shared projects.
• Future-ready architecture: With no installation required and continuous updates via the cloud, users always have access to the latest standards and features, ensuring investment protection and scalability for companies of all sizes.
• Free availability: Electrical Designer is accessible at no cost to all users of the TIA Selection Tool Cloud, making cutting-edge electrical planning capabilities widely available.

This innovation reinforces Siemens’ leadership in digital control panel design and industrial automation. The company will showcase Electrical Designer at the upcoming Smart Production Solutions (SPS) 2025 trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany, from November 25 to 27, at the Siemens booth in Hall 11.

By merging automation, compliance, and cloud-based collaboration, Siemens’ Electrical Designer marks a new era in smart, standards-compliant machine design, providing a faster, more reliable path from concept to implementation.
