About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Raymond West’s Automation Innovations Help Advance 3PL Provider’s Growth

Raymond West’s Automation Innovations Help Advance 3PL Provider’s Growth
For PRISM Logistics, Technology Investment is About Empowering People
Raymond West implements AGVs and Radioshuttle automation at PRISM Logistics' Lathrop facility, boosting efficiency for the Northern California 3PL.

LATHROP, Calif - Raymond West Intralogistics Solutions, a leader in material handling and logistics automation, has implemented state-of-the-art automation solutions for PRISM Logistics, a leading Northern California third-party logistics (3PL) provider, at its Lathrop, California distribution center. This strategic investment marks a significant leap forward in targeted automation for operational efficiency

The Challenge: Future-Proofing Operations

Rather than reacting to immediate operational pressures of a traditional warehouse, PRISM took a proactive stance, aiming to optimize space utilization, reduce labor demands, and eliminate inefficiencies before they became bottlenecks. With Raymond West’s input, the company identified repetitive, non-value-added travel time in its warehouse setup as a key area for improvement.

The Solution: Smart Automation with Raymond West

PRISM’s transformation included the deployment of several advanced solutions:

  • Standard and Pushback Racking for enhanced storage space efficiency
  • Stand-up Forklifts to improve maneuverability
  • Muratec Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for automated pallet transport
  • Radioshuttle Semi-Automatic Pallet Shuttle System to maximize throughput and space efficiency

Raymond West’s signature Radioshuttle system in particular marks a significant leap forward, offering greater storage density and enabling PRISM to dramatically reduce forklift travel time and increase overall warehouse productivity.

The Result: Efficiency Gains and Strategic Impact

These advanced automation solutions are expected to yield significant benefits:

  • Maximize space efficiency
  • Reduce manual labor requirements
  • Eliminate wasted travel time
  • Invest in long-term scalability and efficiency

President of PRISM Logistics, Jeremy Van Puffelen, states: “Our partnership with Raymond West has been instrumental in helping us evolve from a traditional warehouse operation to a future-ready logistics provider. Their team not only brought us cutting-edge solutions like AGVs and Radioshuttle, but also the expertise to strategically implement them. It’s not just about short-term ROI – it’s about building smarter, more scalable operations for the long haul. Raymond West continues to be a trusted partner in that journey.”

Raymond West Intralogistics Solutions showcased its dedication to advancing warehouse automation through a forward-thinking approach to this project, delivering tailored solutions that meet the complex demands of modern distribution environments.
