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.

Couche-Tard and RELEX Partner to Amplify North American Operations

By: via Business Wire

Couche-Tard aims to enhance efficiency and customer experience across North American stores with AI-driven supply chain and retail planning technology

Alimentation Couche-Tard (Couche-Tard), a global leader in convenience and mobility, and RELEX Solutions, a provider of unified supply chain and retail planning solutions, today announced an agreement that will implement the RELEX unified supply chain and retail planning solutions across Couche-Tard’s North America operations. Through the agreement, the RELEX AI-powered and machine-learning solutions, including demand forecasting, replenishment, and advanced space and floor planning, will support the retailer’s Circle K and Couche-Tard locations in the U.S. and Canada.

Utilizing the automated RELEX demand forecasting and replenishment solutions, Circle K aims to enhance inventory management by optimizing store stock levels, while ensuring products are available when and where customers need them. This strategic decision aligns with Couche-Tard’s vision to become the world’s preferred destination for convenience and mobility.

By integrating these advanced systems into their North American stores, Couche-Tard plans to improve its merchandising strategy by evolving how space decisions are made as well as how product replenishment is managed throughout the organization. This unified approach not only improves customer satisfaction but also enhances overall store performance and efficiency.

The decision to implement RELEX is propelled by a need for a more integrated inventory management system capable of managing the scale and complexity of Couche-Tard’s operations. This change is expected to optimize inventory levels, significantly reduce out-of-stocks, and improve the effectiveness of merchandising and internal team efficiency. Since 2017, RELEX has provided Couche-Tard's European business with measurable results after implementing a unified supply chain and store and floor planning solution.

“Key to our mission to make our customers’ lives a little easier every day is ensuring we always have the products and brands they want, when they want them, which is why we are very pleased to incorporate RELEX solutions into our North American operations,” said Trey Powell, SVP Global Merchandising for Alimentation Couche-Tard. “With RELEX, we can tailor advanced forecasting and inventory management to the needs of our individual stores and streamline our internal processes for better efficiency to provide the best quality products and a best-in-class customer experience.”

“We are honored by Circle K’s trust as they implement our unified solutions across their North American operations,” said Keith Adams, Senior Vice President of North America at RELEX. “Their trust in our solution’s capabilities is a reflection of our commitment to delivering value through our unified platform. We are confident that our solutions will significantly contribute to Circle K's journey towards operational excellence and further strengthen our long-standing relationship.”
