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.

Arcadia Cold Selects Blue Yonder to Digitally Transform U.S. Cold Chain

North American 3PL establishes a world-class operating platform with Blue Yonder’s full suite of logistics capabilities

With disruptions impacting every part of the supply chain, third-party logistics (3PL) providers must modernize to be prepared to meet evolving needs of their customers. That’s why Arcadia Cold has chosen to partner with Blue Yonder, a leader in digital supply chain transformations and omni-channel commerce fulfillment. Arcadia Cold will implement Blue Yonder’s warehouse management system (WMS), labor management, and warehouse tasking, all part of Luminate® Logistics, to futureproof its warehouse and transportation operations. The project will be implemented by Netlogistik, a Blue Yonder technology partner.

Arcadia Cold specializes in providing third-party handling, storage, distribution, and value-added services to the food industry. In 2022, Arcadia Cold announced the launch of its platform to rapidly develop a national cold storage network of high-quality facilities across the U.S. with the aim to add approximately 200,000 pallet positions of refrigerated and frozen capacity to the existing third-party cold storage market as part of its initial launch. The company will open its first three new cold storage facilities in Fort Worth, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; and Hazleton, Pennsylvania; during the summer of 2023, bringing the first 120,000 pallet positions to the U.S. market.

Arcadia Cold was pursuing a top-of-the-line technology solution for its newly launched national cold warehouse platform. Blue Yonder proved to be right supply chain solutions provider to help the company scale its business, based on Blue Yonder’s leading-edge suite of solutions, award-winning experience, and the success of its innovative, AI-driven supply chain platform.

With Blue Yonder, Arcadia Cold will be able to deliver a superior customer experience with its ability to:

  • Scale operations as needed
  • Drive exceptional employee engagement, performance, and retention
  • Optimize task management with advanced algorithm and artificial intelligence (AI)
  • Leverage a vast API library to continue to gain competitive edges and drive unique business processes

“As a fast-emerging logistics company, we were seeking a supply chain solutions provider that could help us scale our operations and be a trusted advisor as our business grows. We felt Blue Yonder was the best fit as their logistics solutions are always ranked as a leader by industry analysts and, after a thorough review, determined they best met our business needs,” said Chris Lafaire, CIO, Arcadia Cold.

Arcadia Cold will first deploy Blue Yonder’s WMS, labor management, and warehouse tasking to fully digitize its warehouses and gain market-leading inbound and outbound visibility into shipments, as well as optimize operations and resource planning to ensure accuracy, timeliness, efficiency, and compliance. The company will also deploy Blue Yonder’s transportation management system (TMS) functionalities including appointment scheduling and planning & execution capabilities into and out of its facilities.

“We are honored to have been chosen as the strategic partner for Arcadia Cold, our experience in strategy advisement and delivery services of the Blue Yonder Luminate Logistics suite allowed us to demonstrate to Arcadia Cold the value in capabilities, platform, and innovation provided by Blue Yonder,” said Scott Zickert, managing partner, Netlogistik.

“Arcadia Cold is revolutionizing the 3PL space and looking to meet the U.S. food supply chain needs over the next few years, which is why we are excited to be working with them to help them realize their objective of providing a superior customer experience. Our logistics suite will also allow them to truly control the fulfillment process and dynamically scale based on customer needs to meet the future demands of their rapidly growing cold storage network,” said Mark Nordick, senior vice president, Logistics, Blue Yonder.
