cooperation with many important cable producers. The results are graphically displayed in bar chart diagrams. Additionally to this, distribution displays and histograms have been added. The additional logistical information is very easily selectable and therefore optimal for each purpose. iiM AG still leaves the ongoing data analyses for the available special programs so that “iiM ProCable” remains compact and slim. The export-interfaces to qsstat® (QDAS) and MS Excel have been further improved. Another highlight in the field of measurement data security and traceability is the interface between the geometrical measuring devices of the VisioCablePro® family and the very common and popular ERP system ADVARIS® in the cable industry. With the complete kit from cable construction to industrial data acquisition and right up to quality modules, the company ADVARIS® is also specialised for the requirements of the cable industry.

As with the previous versions “iiM ProCable 1” and “iiM ProCable 2”, the management of orders and products with their testing plans cover the practical requirements of the cable industry, wherein there is normally a large variety of different products often with very similar test requirements. The possibilities of database queries and filters for the most different, practice-oriented criteria have clearly increased.
