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.

Cosentino Streamlines Predictive Maintenance with Power-MI and SAP PM Integration

By: Get News

Cosentino Group, a global company in the design and architecture industry, has digitized its predictive maintenance process with Power-MI connected to SAP PM. With over 2000 assets under predictive maintenance, Cosentino has implemented a strategic management model to maximize the impact of predictive maintenance on the company. The successful digitization process has streamlined maintenance procedures and ensured that the company is at the forefront of innovation in the industry.

I. Digitizing Current Procedures

Cosentino first documented its current procedures to streamline its predictive maintenance processes, including diagnostics, reporting, maintenance notifications, work orders, savings calculations, and failure records. The company then launched a pilot plan using Power-MI, a cloud software that provides an intuitive approach to predictive maintenance management. The pilot plan was implemented with 30 machines and produced impressive results, including faster reporting times for analysts, improved document management, failure statistics, and automatic work orders.

II. Gradual Implementation

Building on the success of the pilot plan, Cosentino gradually expanded its implementation of Power-MI by adding machines and registering all relevant personnel, including service providers and maintenance and production staff. The company also added new features like route planning, analysts' calendars, and root cause analysis to enhance its predictive maintenance management. As a result, Cosentino could quantify the savings generated and renegotiate its critical machinery insurance contracts by providing visibility into predictive maintenance and demonstrating the comprehensive monitoring of all critical machines.

III. Connecting with SAP PM

Integrating Power-MI with SAP PM presented some challenges, as connecting a cloud service with on-site software requires strict cybersecurity protocols and authentication methods. However, after successfully connecting the two platforms via API, Cosentino was able to automate its predictive maintenance processes fully. In 2023, the company will begin condition-based lubrication and visual inspections using Power-MI mobile app. In the coming years, Cosentino aims to integrate Machine Learning and utilize asset health data in its investment decision-making.
