DAS Company is an authorized Cofaso implementation and sales partner, supplying and implementing the complete Cofaso electrical engineering software platform — eSchematic automated panel schematic generation, cable management and routing, digital prototype creation, control and automation documentation, and power distribution system design — for industrial manufacturers, panel builders and automation engineering teams across Europe from our Bulgaria base.
Cofaso is a comprehensive electrical engineering software platform specialising in the design, documentation and standardisation of control and automation systems — covering panel schematic design, cable management, digital prototyping and power distribution documentation from a unified engineering environment. Cofaso serves industrial manufacturers across the full automation engineering lifecycle: from initial system design and schematic creation through manufacturing documentation, commissioning support and ongoing maintenance. The platform is trusted by major industrial companies — including Mercedes-Benz Türk (Istanbul and Aksaray manufacturing plants) and Erdemir (Turkey's first and largest flat steel producer, OYAK Group) — for standardising and automating electrical engineering documentation across complex multi-site production facilities. Cofaso addresses the core engineering challenges that industrial manufacturers face: managing vast numbers of components, cables and connections with precise documentation, eliminating error-prone manual schematic creation and maintaining accurate as-built documentation throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Cofaso eSchematic is the automated electrical schematic creation module — generating 3-line (single-line) panel schematics automatically from component and connection data, significantly reducing schematic creation time compared to manual CAD-based drawing. The automation engine reads component data, applies engineering rules and generates complete, accurate schematic drawings — including terminal blocks, cable connections, device references and circuit numbering — in a fraction of the time required for manual draughting. Engineers define the system architecture and component selection; eSchematic handles the repetitive drawing generation work that consumes the majority of panel documentation engineering hours. Direct integration with component manufacturer databases ensures accurate symbols, article numbers and technical parameters are applied automatically — eliminating manual component data entry errors and the out-of-date component data that accumulates in manually maintained symbol libraries. Version management and change tracking in eSchematic provide complete documentation history — enabling engineering teams to identify what changed between revisions and maintain compliance with IEC 81346 (reference designation) and IEC 61082 (electrical documentation) standards.
Cofaso's cable management module handles the complete cable engineering workflow — from cable specification and routing path definition through connection list generation, cable schedule production and as-built documentation. Complex industrial systems involve hundreds or thousands of cable connections between panels, field devices, motors and instruments — manually managing this data in spreadsheets produces connection errors, incomplete documentation and impossible-to-maintain as-built records. Cofaso centralises all cable data in a structured engineering database — cable type, from/to connections, routing path, screen earthing, ferrule and marker details — and generates accurate connection lists, cable schedules and wiring diagrams automatically from this single data source. Changes made anywhere in the system (adding a connection, changing a cable type, rerouting a cable) automatically propagate to all affected documents — eliminating the manual cross-referencing between drawings, cable lists and connection diagrams that causes documentation inconsistencies in traditionally managed panel engineering projects.
Cofaso's digital prototype capability enables engineers to verify system functionality from the engineering model before physical panel assembly begins — identifying wiring errors, missing connections and component incompatibilities in the virtual model rather than during commissioning on the factory floor or at the installation site. The digital prototype represents the complete electrical system — components, connections, terminal assignments, cable routing — in a simulation environment where functional testing can be performed against the design specifications. Early error detection through digital prototyping reduces physical rework costs, shortens commissioning time and improves first-time installation quality — particularly valuable for complex automation systems with large I/O counts and multiple interconnected panels where commissioning errors are expensive to diagnose and correct on site.
For industrial manufacturers operating multiple production lines, multiple sites or producing series machines, Cofaso provides engineering standardisation tools that enforce consistent design practices, component selections and documentation formats across the engineering organisation. Standard component libraries, approved part lists, reusable circuit templates (macros) and design rule checking prevent individual engineers from introducing non-standard components or circuit configurations that complicate maintenance, spare parts management and documentation consistency. The standardisation module addresses one of the most significant hidden costs in industrial maintenance — the proliferation of non-standard components and undocumented circuit variations that accumulate when engineering teams work without a governed design platform. Manufacturing companies that have implemented Cofaso standardisation report significant reductions in panel build time, spare parts inventory and maintenance diagnostic time — as technicians can apply standard fault-finding procedures to consistently documented panels.
Cofaso's power distribution design module covers the electrical network design from the incoming supply through distribution boards, motor control centres and final circuit protective devices — calculating load currents, voltage drop, short-circuit levels and protective device coordination in the same engineering environment as the panel schematic documentation. Integration between the power distribution calculation and the panel schematic ensures that protection device ratings shown in drawings match the calculated requirements — eliminating the discrepancies between design calculations and as-built drawings that occur when separate calculation and drawing tools are used without data exchange. Output documentation includes single-line diagrams, load lists, cable sizing schedules and short-circuit calculation reports formatted for submission to electrical design review authorities.
Cofaso supports the complete equipment lifecycle beyond initial design — providing maintenance and service documentation management that keeps engineering records accurate throughout the equipment service life. As-built drawing updates, spare parts lists extracted directly from the engineering model, maintenance interval documentation and fault history recording within the Cofaso environment ensure that maintenance teams have access to accurate, current documentation — not the outdated paper drawings that accumulate in traditional panel engineering organisations. The structured data model in Cofaso enables maintenance engineers to search for components by article number, find all installations of a specific component type across multiple machines, or identify all affected documents when a component is superseded — capabilities that are impossible with conventionally managed drawing archives.
DAS Company provides access to current Cofaso software licensing and implementation services for industrial engineering organisations across Europe. Licensing options include module-based selection (eSchematic, cable management, digital prototype, power distribution) scaled to the engineering team size and project complexity requirements. DAS Company engineering implementation services cover Cofaso installation, component library configuration, company-specific standard template creation, engineer training and ongoing support — ensuring rapid productive adoption of the platform from the first engineering project.
