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.

Lenovo To Digitally Transform Supply Planning and S&OP Capabilities with Blue Yonder

Technology leader will improve planning and forecasting capabilities

The ability to forecast demand and plan inventory is crucial for today’s manufacturing supply chain. That’s why Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY), a leader in delivering world-changing technology, has embarked on a digital supply chain planning transformation journey using Blue Yonder’s Luminate™ Planning solutions.

Lenovo supports customers in 180 markets around the world. The company is focused on a bold vision to deliver smarter technology for all, developing world-changing technologies that power (through devices and infrastructure) and empower (through solutions and services) millions of customers every day to create a more inclusive, trustworthy, and sustainable digital society. Also, Lenovo ranked #16 in Gartner’s 2021 Top 25 Global Supply Chain, highlighting its leadership as a purpose-driven organization and operational center of excellence in the global supply chain community1. Needing a supply chain planning capabilities upgrade to meet the demands of today’s constantly changing environment, Lenovo turned to its supply chain provider, Blue Yonder, for the solution.

Once fully implemented, Blue Yonder’s Luminate Planning solutions will allow Lenovo to improve its supply chain’s efficiency and flexibility to accommodate the current environment and business needs.

“We have worked with Blue Yonder for more than 20 years so when we made the decision to upgrade our supply chain planning solutions, we knew that Blue Yonder’s end-to-end capabilities would enable us to continuously innovate and improve our products, gain greater supply chain visibility and deliver an overall better experience for our customers,” said Guan Wei, senior vice president, Global Supply Chain, Lenovo.

With Luminate Planning, Lenovo will be able to improve its sales and operations planning (S&OP) by seamlessly incorporating all moving parts across their supply chain, aligning demand, supply, revenue, cost, and margin targets in a unified plan. With supply planning capabilities, Lenovo can stage the right inventory throughout its distribution network, minimizing stock-outs while maximizing inventory turns, and gain strong return on its invested capital to ensure that customer service levels are met.

“Lenovo’s business and the supply chain environment has significantly changed, so they were seeking a more modern, intelligent, and connected supply chain solution. Our Luminate Planning solutions provide a scenario-based, boundaryless planning system to not only help Lenovo plan for demand but also improve profitability and business efficiencies,” said Antonio Boccalandro, president, APAC, Blue Yonder.
