Nexans has expanded its innovative connected drums service to new international markets, including the UK, Switzerland, Germany and Chile, building on its success in France and Belgium. The solution, first introduced in 2016 and developed with industrial Internet of Thing (IoT) specialists Ffly4u, enables customers to track the location of their cable drums with accuracy – reducing costs through improved efficiency and enhanced traceability.
Nexans’ connected drum technology, the first of its kind in the market, uses 21st century technology to solve a key efficiency issue in the cable market. The sensors are quick and easy to install, meaning the technology is scaleable and can be deployed quickly in new markets.
Nexans currently uses the cloud-based solution in six countries (UK, Switzerland, Germany, Chile as well as France and Belgium); however, it expects this number to grow as companies take advantage of this digital service to improve efficiency and lower costs.
