Kablan Digitises Cable Reels with Trackers from truvami

Zurich/Ostermundingen, Canton of Bern — Kablan AG has installed trackers from the Zurich-based company truvami on its cable drums. This enables the cable and LAN distributor based in Ostermundingen to keep track of the location of its spools digitally and to ensure they are fully reused.

(CONNECT) Kablan has digitised the logistics of its cable reels with the help of truvami GmbH. According to a press release, they were equipped with the truvami Tag XL Tracker for this purpose. This device continuously tracks the location of the cable reels. This optimises returns, reduces losses, and promotes their reuse.

Thanks to constantly updated location data, the provider of cable and connection solutions for energy, industrial, and infrastructure projects always has an overview of where its reels are located, how long they have been in use, and when they will be returned. This way, they can be reused to deliver new cables after they have been used. The sooner they return to this cycle, the fewer additional coils will be needed.

“Our customers expect reliable delivery processes and high product availability,” said Tom Frey, Head of Marketing and Sales at Kablan. "At the same time, we believe it is important to use resources responsibly. "That is why we are making targeted investments in digital solutions that make our processes more transparent and efficient."

Together with Kablan, truvami demonstrates “how existing processes can be pragmatically enhanced with connected technology,” according to Chiara Koopmans, Managing Director of Swisscom Broadcast’s division specialising in tracking solutions. “Transparent location data makes everyday planning easier and helps ensure that resources are allocated more effectively.” ce/mm
