2015 was an excellent year for cable
software design and manufacturing
company Cimteq. Following the launch
of the latest offering, CableBuilder3D, at
IWCS in Atlanta, USA, the first installation
began in December for James Monroe
Wire and Cable Corporation, an electrical
wire and cable manufacturer based in
Boston, USA.
The company was looking to replace
its existing system with an “industry
standard” to enable it to move forwards,
and become more efficient and profitable
as a result. The company met with Cimteq
at IWCS and upon discovering the features
CableBuilder had to offer it was quick to
adopt the system. CableBuilder3D was
a natural addition as it fully integrates
into CableBuilder and has extensive 3D
modelling graphics abilities, engineering
drawing generation and full CAD
capabilities.
Massachusetts certainly seemed to be the
theme of the month for Cimteq during
December as another company located
there also adopted CableBuilder to replace
its current existing system. Data Guide
Cable is a manufacturer of speciality
electronic and electrical cable products,
and seized the opportunity to modernise
its systems by adopting CableBuilder.
The integration of CableBuilder into the
business will bring far-reaching benefits
to the company. This product can be fully
integrated into a current AXIOM system
and allows the company to design a
cable that accurately meets its customers’
needs in the shortest possible timescale
and in the most cost-effective manner.
The system can account for and optimise
production losses, as well as combine data
and customer requirements. Ultimately the
end result is extremely satisfied customers
due to increasing the profitability of their
manufacturing process.
In addition to these, a third acquisition
came in the form of TE Wire and Cable, a
premier thermocouple and speciality wire
and cable manufacturer. The company is
part of the Marmon Wire & Cable/Berkshire
Hathaway Group of companies, among
which one of Cimteq’s clients, Dekoron,
is also a member having enjoyed the
benefits of the CableBuilder software for
over ten years.
Simon Gainey of Cimteq said: “We are
extremely enthusiastic to be working
with TE Wire and Cable and to witness
the way in which our software is going
to revolutionise the productivity of the
company.
“Having seen how Dekoron have
benefitted is a great example of the way
in which CableBuilder can truly transform
the cable design and manufacturing
process.”
