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.

Manufacturers Target Profitability Over Growth in Smart Manufacturing Plans: ISG Survey

ISG to release full findings at April 21 ISG TechXchange: Smart Manufacturing event

Executives with Caterpillar, Hitachi Vantara, Bayer, Bosch, Fairlife, AGCO Corporation, CESMII, Schneider Electric and LTI to be featured speakers

A majority of manufacturers say they are prioritizing cost savings over growth in their smart manufacturing plans, according to a new survey from Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), by leading global technology research and advisory firm.

ISG will release the full results of its survey at the ISG TechXchange: Smart Manufacturing event, April 21 at the Radisson Blu Aqua in Chicago.

“Our research indicates manufacturers are looking to smart manufacturing to help increase profitability – even more than to power growth,” said Dave Lewis, ISG partner, manufacturing industry lead and host of the event.

Lewis said manufacturers are seeking cost savings from waste reduction and sustainability initiatives. “Operational data can be immediately put to use to achieve those savings but will require technology to collect and use data effectively,” he said.

Gaining insights from such data is extremely complex, Lewis said, because product manufacturing generates enormous volumes of data that must be stored, labeled, sorted and analyzed to improve the product throughout its lifecycle – from development through manufacturing, supply chain operations and product use.

Maximizing the value of data assets and breaking down the barriers posed by legacy architecture and siloed business units, and gaining stakeholder alignment, will be the topic of discussion between Kai Hackbarth, senior technology evangelist for Bosch Global Software Technologies GmbH, and John Dyck, CEO of CESMII - The Smart Manufacturing Institute, at the ISG event.

Other featured speakers include Brent Ruth, lean digital transformation leader with Caterpillar, who will deliver a keynote address on the heavy industrial manufacturer’s approach to leveraging IT/OT automation to accelerate digital transformation.

In another session, Frank Antonysamy, chief digital solution officer for Hitachi Vantara, will outline how the IT service management company identifies, builds and delivers digital capabilities to clients and combines mobility, energy, industry and smart-life company expertise into its “One Hitachi” solutions.

The opportunities cloud computing, IoT, AI/ML and other Industry 4.0 technologies offer for improving operational and decision-making processes will be the focus of a panel discussion, “Bringing Decision-Making Closer to Production,” with Susanne Lauda, director, global advanced manufacturing technology at AGCO Corporation; Carsten Baumann, director of strategic initiatives and solution architect at Schneider Electric, and Rajesh Sundaram, executive vice president of manufacturing at LTI.

In another panel discussion, “Build a Culture of Innovation – Empowering the Factory Floor,” Peri Subrahmanya, principal engineer at Bayer U.S., and Neil Betteridge, senior vice president of category development at Fairlife, will share change management techniques that can help build a culture of innovation, prevent the loss of institutional knowledge and processes, and upskill and empower workers on the factory floor.

The ISG TechXchange: Smart Manufacturing event is sponsored by Hitachi Vantara, HCL Technologies, Mindtree, OutSystems, Capgemini and LTI. Additional information and event registration is available on the event website.
