Driving Supply Chain Traceability in Cable Manufacturing

The cable manufacturing and distribution industry faces heightened efficiency, transparency, and accountability demands. From managing complex product specifications to ensuring regulatory compliance and sustainability, manufacturers constantly seek solutions that optimize operations while meeting these growing expectations. DIAMIND’s Supply Chain Traceability solution is crafted to meet these needs, offering a comprehensive platform that integrates data management, visibility, and process tracking for every stage of the supply chain.

Understanding Our Supply Chain Traceability Solution

Our purpose-built traceability solution, Returnable Asset Management, offers end-to-end visibility across the supply chain. Our platform enables cable manufacturers to achieve a unified view of product movement, quality control processes, and compliance adherence through software, data management, and hardware integration. This holistic traceability platform provides real-time insights and supports proactive management to mitigate risks and optimize performance across various manufacturing stages.

The platform is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing IT infrastructures, enabling data flow from multiple sources into one accessible system. This consolidation is especially valuable in cable manufacturing, where managing diverse materials, intricate product specifications, and customer orders requires precision and consistency.

Benefits of Returnable Asset Management

Our solutions enable cable manufacturers to efficiently track, store, and manage reel inventory across the supply chain. These solutions reduce costs and improve compliance by enhancing visibility, streamlining operations, and supporting sustainability. Below are the benefits of our traceability solution:

1. Enterprise Reel Management: Centralized management of full parent reels from shipping and receiving to storage and deployment. This ensures complete control over reel inventory, minimizing misplacements and inefficiencies.
2. Unique Reel Identification: Embed serialized barcodes, QR codes, or RFID tags in reels to transform them into intelligent assets. These unique identifiers enable precise tracking and management across the entire supply chain.
3. Real-Time Reel Tracking: Monitor reels’ location and status in real-time, indoors and outdoors. These solutions work seamlessly as standalone systems or integrate with existing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and backend platforms, ensuring uninterrupted visibility.
4. Streamlined Customer Order Fulfillment: Optimize order management by assigning reels directly from storage to specific customer orders. This capability reduces order processing time and enhances accuracy, improving customer satisfaction.
5. Outbound Shipment Validation: Ensure traceability and accountability by assigning and time-stamping each reel for outbound shipments. This step connects reels to specific customers, reducing errors and strengthening compliance.
6. Sustainable Reel Return Management: Simplify the process of managing empty reel returns by categorizing them for reuse, recycling, or scrapping. These actions support sustainability initiatives while reconciling deposits and recovering costs effectively.
7. Comprehensive Reel Status Visibility: Gain end-to-end visibility into reel status, including their usage, location, and condition, at every stage. This capability reduces asset losses, ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, and improves operational efficiency.
8. Enhanced Operational Efficiency and Cost Reduction: These solutions optimize the use of resources by minimizing waste, preventing stockouts, and automating tracking processes. They also reduce storage costs and improve the bottom line.

How Our Solution Supports Cable Manufacturers & Distributors

Managing high-value assets such as spools and transport containers is vital for cable manufacturers and distributors. Our comprehensive asset management solutions improve tracking, reduce shrinkage, and effectively utilize returnable transport items (RTIs). By integrating with existing business systems, Antares Vision Group provides bi-directional data flow, ensuring that each item is tracked accurately and that information is easily accessible to all stakeholders.

This returnable asset management system enables manufacturers and distributors to mitigate shrinkage, as they have a real-time overview of assets in transit or storage. This system’s accuracy supports compliance efforts, ensuring manufacturers meet regulatory requirements for tracking and reporting. Moreover, by reducing asset loss and optimizing reels usage, our solution helps companies achieve cost savings and sustainability goals.
