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.

PETstock Improves Product Availability in Stores with Blue Yonder

By: via Business Wire

Leading Australian pet company successfully implemented Blue Yonder’s category management solution, improving efficiency and right-sizing space allocations for its stores to provide a better shopping experience

With more people working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, pet adoption increased in Australia with 69% of households now owning a pet, according to the “Pets and the Pandemic” report by Animal Medicines Australia. In addition, 37% of pet owners reported experiencing difficulty accessing things like pet food, treats and veterinary services. That’s why PETstock Pty Ltd, Australia’s leading pet company, chose to digitally transform its supply chain with Blue Yonder’s SaaS-based category management solution, part of Luminate® Commerce, to create customer-centric stores based on consumer preferences in order to have the right products in the right stores.

PETstock operates in Australia and New Zealand and derives its revenue from providing specialized pet products and services through retail stores and veterinary clinics. The company was looking to better allocate space in its stores to meet customer demand and ensure the right items are always available. PETstock turned to Blue Yonder for the solution. Strikeforce, a Blue Yonder partner, implemented the project and PETstock has gone live in record time and within budget.

With Blue Yonder, PETstock can now:

  • Implement data-driven, analytical store layouts to optimize allocations of category space to meet consumer demand, driving customer satisfaction.
  • Increase efficiency by creating store layouts that are accurate and easy to implement by stores, as well as integrated with micro-space planning to create a seamless process.
  • Create planograms with capacities and facings optimized to local demand and store space constraints.
  • Reduce inventory by right-sizing assortment spacings to remove slow-moving stock and introduce new SKUs to drive sales.

“Blue Yonder took the time to determine our key objective of having a solution that will enable us to have the right products in the right stores, as well as enabling us to cater for future growth. They have a high level of expertise in the retail industry and have provided us a first-class category management solution that allows us to meet customer demand. We are inspired by pets and animals to make a positive impact for people, pets and the planet!” said Paul Roberts, space planning manager, PETstock.

Blue Yonder’s category management solution will allow PETstock to optimize layouts across stores, increasing space productivity and reducing out-of-stocks– all to increase customer satisfaction. By leveraging SaaS, PETstock will have unmatched scalability and reliability, as well as the ability to take advantage of new solution innovations as soon as they’re available.

“With pet ownership on the rise, PETstock needed the ability to manage its product offerings to ensure the right inventory is on the right shelves at the right stores. With our solution, they can now build and maintain store-specific planograms to drive better efficiency for their planners and staff and meet the changing needs of its customers and their pets. We are looking forward to further expanding our relationship with PETstock in the years to come,” said Daniel Kohut, vice president, Australia and New Zealand, Blue Yonder.
