In the increasingly fast paced world there is more reliance on machines to design, produce and manage logistics, freeing up the human element of the workforce to focus on monitoring output, application of experience and teaching the machines. Ali Shehab, chief executive of Cimteq, envisages these ‘Smart Factories’ as the future of wire and cable production and the products are geared towards this, even going so far as to contain technology that allows the users to teach the machine how to behave and to communicate with other systems and devices. The launch of CableSuite by Cimteq and its partner, Innovites, earlier this year provides a resource to cable manufacturing companies in terms of helping them to embrace the concept of streamlining their production, designing their product more accurately and controlling the production and manufacturing process closely to reduce waste, improve efficiency and provide improvements in profitability. CableSuite consists of two of Cimteq’s products: CableBuilder and CableMES. CableBuilder comprises a host of components including cable design, quotation, 2D and 3D drawings, PDM, manufacturing waste simulation and quality control. CableMES is a cable-specific manufacturing execution system based on the Wonderware plat- form and covers warehouse management, product traceability, performance management and job management.

With strong emphasis on quality and customer satisfaction, the com- pany is ISO 9002 certified and has become a reliable source of quality products in the international market having exported to more than 45 countries worldwide. Chengdu Centran Industrial Co Ltd – China Website : www.china-centran.com The world of cable manufacturing is a constantly evolving environ- ment. The speed at which the systems and processes available to manufacturers are changing and developing means that in order to keep ahead of the competition companies need to be confident in their systems and be sure that the way in which they are operating is providing them with the best efficiencies, quality of product, return on investment and ultimately profitability. The 21 st Century has seen phenomenal developments in terms of software and tech- nological advancement, therefore it is only natural that this in itself will revolutionise the manu- facturing industry. The onset of what is essentially the fourth phase of an industrial revolution that began back in the 1700s has seen the manufacturing world become increasingly driven by digital systems and the ‘Internet of Things’, providing increased capa- bilities in terms of designing, planning, controlling and moni- toring down to extremely tight parameters. Cimteq, one of the leading software designers within the cable industry, is no stranger to this concept. Its systems fully embrace and promote the idea that through the adoption of sophisticated design and manu- facturing software systems manufacturers can produce cable faster, smarter and more profitably whilst adapting quickly to changes in the manufacturing environment.
