The Clinton Instrument Company is a specialist in spark test technology for the wire and cable industry, and the inventor of the high frequency sine wave spark tester. The company’s B-Series spark tester range includes high frequency testers, DC testers, 60 Hz and power mains frequency testers. Clinton makes spark testers for many applications. Recent designs combine the latest in control technology with a robust and reliable spark testing platform. The spark test equipment supports the split electrode design for easy string-up, and digital signal processor (DSP) based voltage regulation and fault detection. The fault circuitry can differentiate between four types of fault conditions: simple pinholes, a series of closely spaced pinholes, direct metal contact from the centre conductor to the electrode, and gross lengths of bare wire. The RC controller is fixed to the unit but can be detached and mounted remotely up to 60m away from the test module/ electrode. It has a large alphanumeric display/user interface and can be rotated in its bracket to accommodate different viewing angles. The display makes configuration of the equipment easy, and all parameters can be changed directly from the front panel menu structure. Once configured, the system can be passcode protected. If a local display is not required, or centralised process control is desired, the equipment can be configured and controlled directly from a PLC or a computer using Modbus RTU (RS-485 full duplex). Optional communication protocols include Ethernet/IP, Profinet and Profibus, Modbus TCP and analogue communications, making the equipment compatible with previous Clinton equipment with analogue control. When only simple control output is required, four sets of relay contacts can provide information without requiring advanced programming. These include a high-voltage signal; a fault relay; a “voltage watchdog” that changes state when the test voltage has risen above or dropped below a pre-set level; and an alarm that signals when long lengths of bare wire are detected.

For more than two decades, InnoVites has been involved in the digital trans- formation of wire and cable businesses worldwide. With a deep understanding of the industry’s unique requirements, the company has engineered a suite of software solutions designed to stream- line operations, enhance productivity and drive growth. At the centre of its range is CableERP™, a comprehensive ERP system built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 that is tailored to the specific needs of wire and cable businesses. The robust platform encompasses sales order management, production planning, inventory control and financial management, providing a view of the entire business. Key features of CableERP™ include precise tracking of cable lengths throughout the entire production pro- cess, minimising waste and enhancing accuracy; efficient handling of drum based operations, including rental and return management; management of metal contracts to optimise pricing and procurement; streamlined creation and execution of cutting orders for precise material utilisation; and advanced warehouse management for optimised inventory control and storage. InnoVites understands the importance of a robust manufacturing execution system (MES) in the wire and cable industry to optimise production processes and maximise the value of the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. It offers comprehensive MES implementation services built on a user friendly, low-code technology. for quicker and more cost-effective MES implementation compared to traditional methods. The platform easily scales to meet evolving business needs, and adapts to accommodate new processes or regulations specific to the business. The flexibility of the system makes it possible to quickly build the right user interfaces for each user group, providing necessary information for the task while never overloading the user with information. integrates seamlessly with CableERP™ and other popular ERP systems, streamlining data flow and eliminating the need for complex custom coding. Beyond initial implementation, InnoVites offers ongoing support to ensure Low-code technology allows The low-code platform
