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.

MPI’s Intell-I-Mag® Provides Revolutionary Enhancement to Improve Peak Magnetic Performance for Magnetic Separators

Magnetic-Products-Inc-MPI-Intell-I-Mag-Maintains-Peak-Magnetic-Separator-Performance-Metal-Saturation-Levels

Intell-I-Mag’s patented new technology uses sensors and data collection to improve analysis of magnetic separator performance, including magnet saturation, cleaning alerts, temperature monitoring, cleaning cycles and position location set by the operator,

MPI's Intell-I-Mag, the first Smart Magnet to self-monitor ferrous metal saturation and deliver real-time data to maintain peak magnet performance.

Intell-I-Mag is the first magnet with smart technology that talks to you. Its magnetic separator detects discrepancies with metal buildup and alerts staff before an incident can occur.”
— Keith Rhodes, Founder/CEO
HIGHLAND, MI, USA, October 18, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Magnetic Products, Inc. (MPI), industry-leading manufacturer of industrial magnets, material handling and electronic inspection systems, introduced today the patented Intell-I-Mag®, a revolutionary step in magnetic separation innovation and factory automation designed for the food production and other industries. Intell-I-Mag is the first Smart Magnet with self-monitoring of ferrous metal saturation in real time, providing operators key information to help improve the cleaning and maintenance of the magnetic separators needed to maintain peak magnet performance during production.

Intell-I-Mag delivers an innovative solution for manufacturing facilities impacted by industry-wide labor shortages and cost increases. It also helps reduce challenges due to equipment failures, inadequate magnet cleaning intervals or inaccessible magnetic separation equipment. Data-driven feedback on cleaning cycles and magnet performance increases production line “up time” and promotes peak performance of magnetic separators, reducing the risk of a metal event.

“Plant operators need to be aware of metal saturation levels at all times,” states Keith Rhodes, MPI founder, CEO and Intell-I-Mag inventor. “Intell-I-Mag is the first magnet with smart technology that talks to you. Its magnetic separator detects discrepancies with metal buildup and alerts staff before an incident can occur.” MPI’s patented new technology aligns with Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things trends, using sensors and data collection to improve analysis of magnetic separator performance, including magnet saturation, cleaning alerts, temperature monitoring, cleaning cycles and position location. Intell-I-Mag’s sensors monitor tramp metal saturation levels and once the magnet reaches the designated level, it alerts plant personnel of required cleaning or the engagement of automated self-cleaning processes. Alert limits can be set by the designated personnel responsible for magnet system performance and password protected.

With Intell-I-Mag’s real time feedback on separator performance, operators can also establish a higher level of metal control and create a stronger quality management plan for programs such as HACCP, ISO, BRC, IFS and SQF. Using the innovative new technology, vendors can be monitored in real time during materials unloading and metal events detected earlier to reduce damage. In addition, finishing separators prior to packaging allows separators to operate at peak performance, while improving protections from a potential recall due to metal. Ensuring separators are operating at peak performance also increases the facilities’ ability to capture lightly ferrous metal, such as work hardened stainless steel. Finally, Intell-I-Mag improves customer reporting with the addition of performance data on the magnetic separator.

The Intell-I-Mag smart magnet controller is available exclusively on MPI magnetic separators. Available models include Plate Magnets, Drawer Magnets, Chute Magnets, Liquid Magnets and Pneumatic Magnets. Controllers are rated for appropriate installation environments, including washdown and hazardous locations. Contact MPI at 248.887.5600 or info@mpimagnet.com to learn more.
