About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Revolutionising Print Planning with PID Labellings In-House Automation Solution

Derbyshire, United Kingdom, 4th Aug 2025 – Within the label printing industry, the challenge lies in imposition planning – to determine how to arrange different design specifications with varying artwork, quantities per project and layouts to be manufactured. In an industry where customers can demand smaller quantities, maintaining an efficient production line can be difficult.

However, Positive ID Labelling Ltd, a 20-employee label manufacturer has developed the ultimate solution.

Positive ID prints labels for a huge variety of industries including food, chemical, and medical sectors to name just a few. Their innovative in-house solution allows them to the company to efficiently plan complex multi-SKU orders with varying specifications and quantities to optimise efficiency.

The project, led by Technical Director Pete Howells, emerged from a critical operational bottleneck that was affecting customer satisfaction and production efficiency. 

“We had four staff members manually planning these complex orders, and the results were frustratingly inconsistent. The same order could be planned completely differently by different team members, leading to excess stock, missing items, and communication breakdowns throughout our production process.

The fascinating aspect was that our experienced staff were all technically correct in their approaches, but each person’s logic led to different solutions. We realized we needed to capture the essence of the decision-making process and standardize it, rather than simply accepting that multiple ‘right’ answers existed.”

Pete Howells, Technical Director

In order to develop the system, the company needed to complete a deep analysis of how expert planners can navigate these complex optimisation problems. The results showed that  iterative decision-making, and considering multiple variables whilst balancing efficiency against resource constraints was the tried and tested method for success.

For Positive ID Labelling, the results have been transformative. Order planning time has dropped from up to an hour per order to under 10 minutes. As the company is currently processing 20% of their digital orders through this system, it is a marked improvement in efficiency and quality to their previous system. 

This is proof that even small independent companies can take steps to create cutting edge solutions to target operational challenges and business needs.
