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.

AZO Publishes Free Guide Detailing Discharge Aids for Bulk Material Handling

AZO Publishes Free Guide Detailing Discharge Aids for Bulk Material Handling

A new guide from AZO seeks to help material handlers in a plethora of different industries solve flow issues by determining the right additional equipment.

Online PR News – 14-December-2021 – Sometimes we all need a little help to get where were going. In the bulk material handling world, assistance in this pursuit is given to ingredients by discharge aids. Also known as flow aids, these are tools that come in a variety of shapes and sizes to help move various materials.

Deciding which aid can and should be used in your pneumatic conveying system can be tricky, but a new guide from AZO seeks to help material handlers in a plethora of different industries determine how to solve flow issues with the right addition to the factory floor. No matter how robust and expertly-crafted a material handling system may be, Flow and Functionality: Determining The Proper Discharge Aids for Your Bulk Material Handling Process could be the saving grace that leads your materials to flow properly.

General manager of AZO Inc. Chuck Kerwin said that in the more than 40 years of bulk material handling that AZO has helped facilitate, those at the company have seen it all, when it comes to selecting the correct flow aid for the job.

Companies should start thinking about discharge aids before they actually need them, Kerwin said. Everyone should know something about them, in a general sort of way at least. When you realize you need help, you then have some general idea where to start.

Topics covered in this free offering include conditioning by three different means: delumping, dehumidification and aeration. Some other topics include the types of flow agents that can be utilized as discharge aids, utilizing vibration as a discharge aid and how hopper geometry ultimately shapes a conveying system.

In order to decide what discharge aids fit an operation, manufacturers should first determine the root cause of the problem, Kerwin said. Develop a set of possible solutions based on the realities of the real world.

More questions to ask when continuing to assess these problems include: Is the problem area accessible? Does the problem area include a scale or a moving piece of equipment? What is the cost to install and to operate? Is there a possible solution upstream from the problem area that might be easier to get to?

Companies might be surprised to learn that it is easier and cheaper to install a flow aid during construction, assuming the worst-case scenario rather than hoping for the best and dealing with a problem after start-up, he said.

AZO, Inc. engineers, builds and installs components and complete systems for bulk material handling requirements. A wholly-owned subsidiary of AZO GmbH, the company supports U.S. customers with technical support from its Memphis location and rapid parts delivery. AZO equipment is used in companies ranging from small, family-owned businesses through the worlds best known industrial and consumer products companies.
