A computerized method (400) of producing a customized digital installation guide for a cable, pipe or wire transit is disclosed. A database (50) of transit components (210) and associated (214) installation instruction sections (220) for the respective transit components is provided. A digital order (242) is generated (410) for a customizable transit (1) comprising selected transit components (218). An order identity (244) is assigned (420) to the generated digital order (242). In the database (50) an association (246) is stored (430) between the order identity (244) and the selected transit components (218) of the digital order (242).

A digital installation guide request, comprising the order identity (244) as being derived by a remote computing device (100) reading (465) the machine-readable code (70) associated with the delivery (340), is received (470). The database (50) is searched (480) to determine the transit components (212) associated with the derived order identity (244). Installation instruction sections (222) for the determined transit components (218) associated with the derived order identity (244) are retrieved (490) from the database (50).

Method and system for selecting an E/E arrangement from a plurality of E/E arrangement variants. An input block receives wiring and component data for a plurality of E/E arrangement variants. For each E/E arrangement variant, a calculation block generates a first data record for a first current path starting with a first wire from a starting component and conducting through one or more intervening components to an end point. An output block generates a first data log of the sequence of wires and intervening components along the first current path and any alternate current paths stemming from the intervening components. The output block further calculates a failure probability value for each E/E arrangement and selects the E/E arrangement from the plurality of E/E arrangement variants based on, in part, their calculated failure probability values.

A method is disclosed to ensure that components in a complex system are correctly connected together. In one embodiment, such a method captures a visual image of a system made up of multiple components connected together with cables. The method analyzes the visual image to determine connections between the components. The method further builds a current model that represents the connections between the components. This current model is then compared to a previous model to find differences between the current model and the previous model. If differences exist, the method notifies a user of the differences. This may assist the user in identifying any incorrect connections between the components. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed.
