base; all components are fully enclosed. Advantages include improvements in output, output consistency, melt quality, reduced purging/changeover time and energy efficiency. It is available in sizes ranging from 50 to 150mm (2" to 6") with an L/D of 42:1. Davis-Standard, LLC www.davis-standard.com

Software provider Cimteq has added a new entry to its collection of industry white papers: ERP in the Wire and Cable Industry. Defined as seamlessly integrating multiple business processes simultaneously, ERP (enterprise resource planning) can boost efficiency, lower costs and secure more business. Ken Jones, marketing manager at Cimteq, said, “As always, we aim to provide insightful and practical advice to the wire and cable manufacturing industry. Roblon A/S With more than 60 years’ experience of developing fibre solutions, Roblon has obtained substantial know-how about the properties of fibres. Roblon processes reinforcement fibres for optic cables that connect networks globally. The main component of the reinforcement fibres is usually fibreglass, aramid or polyester, but Roblon adds value to the fibres by applying a functional coating.

The SHO is engineered with an optimised feed section and energy-efficient DSB® barrier screw. This is beneficial for high- viscosity HDPE applications such as pipe extrusion, where lower melt tempera- tures, reduced power consumption and improved energy efficiency are important. “Improving energy efficiency equates to tangible savings for your operation while reducing your carbon footprint,” said John Christiano, VP technology. “The SHO builds upon our existing groove feed technology with a more streamlined, compact footprint and even greater performance in terms of output and energy savings.” The SHO features Davis-Standard’s next- generation gear case to optimise produc- tion space, along with a streamlined hop- per, low-profile power panel and rugged

ERP in the wire and cable industry

Customized Solutions

This latest paper focuses on ERP, allowing readers to see how ERP integrates into other wire and cable software to ensure robust and future-proof operations.” Manufacturing business models need to incorporate the significant changes in business processes brought about by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), smart factories, “big data”, cloud-based infrastruc- tures and robust business intelligence. Im- plementing ERP is one such opportunity. Some of the benefits provided by ERP systems within the manufacturing envi- ronment include data management, pro- duction planning, sales and purchasing, and order fulfilment. ERP can also enable increased efficiency, enhanced productiv- ity, improvements in supply chain interac- tions and improved warehouse functions.
