Connector map and assembly aid software for cable manufacturing

A system comprising a computer readable storage device readable by the system, tangibly embodying a program having a set of instructions executable by the system to perform the following steps for creating a wiring guide graphic, the set of instructions comprising:

• an instruction to read at least one connector identity;
• an instruction to read at least one engineering specification indicating an insert arrangement, wherein the engineering specification includes a connector part number and a particular arrangement of wires to be inserted into any particular connector cavity;
• an instruction to read at least one wiring table;
• an instruction to populate a map for connector cavities;
• an instruction to create an image of a wiring guide graphic, wherein said wiring guide graphic comprises a visual graphic of a connector body plugging face, wherein the wiring guide graphic is configured to indicate a cavity identification, a wire color, and a location of a cavity to remain empty or an enhancement;
• and
• an instruction for configuring a processor in the case when the at least one wiring table is not in PDF form or is extracted out of PDF form into the same CSV or Excel file automatically by the processor, data can be inserted into the system.

A process for creating a wiring guide graphic by use of a system including a processor configured to receive from a database inputs of a connector body identity, an engineering specification and a wiring table, wherein the engineering specification includes a connector part number and a particular arrangement of wires to be inserted into any particular connector cavity;

• said processor configured to create the wiring guide graphic, a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with said processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored therein that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, by the processor, data for said connector body identity from said database;
• receiving, by the processor, data for said engineering specification detailing a wire insert arrangement from said database;
• receiving, by the processor, data for said wiring table from said database;
• determining, by the processor, a map of each connector cavity associated with said connector body configured to populate each connector cavity associated with said connector body;
• creating, by the processor, an image of a wiring guide graphic, wherein said wiring guide graphic comprises a visual graphic of a connector body plugging face, wherein the wiring guide graphic is configured to indicate a cavity identification, a wire color, and a location of a cavity to remain empty;
• and
• performing, by the processor, in the case when the wiring table is not in PDF form or is extracted out of PDF form into the same CSV or Excel file automatically by the processor, data being inserted into the system.
