iiM AG – the specialist for offline
measurement of geometrical cable
insulation features – has introduced the
third generation of its software products
this year.
With a new, improved handling and
new options and possibilities, not
only the cable measuring software
“FlexMeasureCable 3” stands out, but
most of all the compact CAQ system “iiM
ProCable 3” and the iiM cable database
set a complete new quality standard.
Both the data security and the
performance have increased significantly
through the new database platform (MS
SQL server).
On the one hand the internal database
structure reflects a higher security
requirement and on the other it reflects
more than ten years experience in the
field of “CAQ for cable producers”.
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.
For this development, great importance
was attached to a close and intensive
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.
Therefore it is also an important and
logical step to be able to use an easy,
automatic and secure data transfer
between the VisioCablePro devices and
the Q-module from ADVARIS®.
