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.

Dole Food & Beverages Group to Digitally Transform Its Supply Chain Planning and Visibility with Blue Yonder

By: via Business Wire

Global CPG company will improve forecasting and harmonize the S&OP and S&OE process across the organization with Luminate Control Tower and Luminate Planning

During the COVID-19 pandemic, consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies have seen significant disruptions on the demand and supply sides of their supply chains, resulting in the need for the ability to forecast demand to meet changing consumer behavior, optimize capacities to exceed service levels and build adaptable supply chains with end-to-end visualization. That’s driven Dole Food & Beverages Group to digitally transform its supply chain to predict shipment delays and sense, prescribe and optimize demand, enabled with two Blue Yonder cloud-based solutions: Luminate™ Control Tower and the Luminate Planning portfolio.

Dole Food & Beverages Group, a division of The Dole Sunshine Company, is one of the world's largest producers and marketers of high-quality packaged fresh fruit and fruit-based products. The company was looking for end-to-end visibility and forecasting, a sales and operations planning (S&OP) and a sales and operations execution (S&OE) process, and control tower capabilities. A 20-plus year Blue Yonder customer, Dole Food & Beverages Group went through a comprehensive evaluation process to select its long-time supply chain provider for a solution that could meet their newer requirements and support its journey towards the Dole Promise.

The digital transformation project will allow Dole Food & Beverages Group to build an agile supply chain with a focus on three core components: people, process and systems. By implementing the Blue Yonder solutions powered by Luminate Platform, the company plans to:

  • Align future supply chain structure with a global and local control towers that work seamlessly together to gain end-to-end accountability across the supply chain.
  • Enhance customer satisfaction and cost savings through lower inventory levels and inventory optimization.
  • Increase flexibility and agility in the planning process.
  • Enable data-driven decision-making capabilities through an end-to-end integrated platform.
  • Improve S&OP, scenario planning and financials, including P&L and cash flow.
  • Improve visualization across the supply chain.

“When seeking a control tower and supply chain planning solution, our goal was to enable agile and responsive cross-functional supply chain Processes that empower People with data-driven decision-making capabilities based on the foundation of an end-to-end integrated Technology platform. Blue Yonder’s Luminate Planning and Luminate Control Tower provide us with the right solutions to make faster business decisions that improve our operations, resulting in lower costs and enhanced planner time,” said Fritz Zeh, Vice President, Global Manufacturing, Dole Food & Beverages Group.

Luminate Platform is a key foundation of this ecosystem delivering intelligent automation and extensibility, uniformity of data, and unified, engaging experiences powering collaboration and decision making. The platform will power the visibility and planning capabilities for Dole Food & Beverages Group. The Microsoft Azure- and cloud-based Luminate Control Tower will provide the company the ability to automate manual processes, access real-time data to manage and right-size inventory levels, and gain visibility into its supply chain. With Luminate Planning, the company can produce more accurate forecasts calculated from hundreds of variables that drive demand and in-turn achieve a single, unbiased demand forecast. The automated calculation and generation of this holistic forecast enables the company to unlock greater planner efficiency.
