Product Lifecycle Management for Cable Makers
From tender requirement to manufactured cable — in hours, not weeks.
CablePLM is the engineering PLM and presales platform for cable makers: standards built in, engineering calculations with every design, AI for tenders, and a path to planning and production that works next to your ERP.
- Standards packs for IEC, BS, EN, IS and UL
- IEC 60287 ratings with every design
- 11 interface languages
- Cloud, SSO, tenant isolation
Part of the factory.online and BEEDIGIT ecosystem for cable makers: planning, production and quality.
The problem
Every tender is a new cable.
A new combination of voltage, conductor, screen, sheath and standard — every time.
Designs, cost and datasheets must be right the first time, at tender speed.
What the plant makes must match what was designed and quoted.
How it works
One connected flow
Requirement
Tender or customer spec captured as structured requirements.
Design
Generated to the standard: layers, BOM, datasheet, calculations.
Release
Approvals, change orders and release packages.
Production
factory.online planning, BEEDIGIT MES and BEEDIGIT QMS.
Actual vs Standard
Measured results compared with the design and the standard.
Works next to your ERP — SAP, Dynamics 365, Oracle and others. Nothing needs to be replaced.
Cable design
An EHV design: construction, BOM and manufacturing route
- Layer-by-layer construction from conductor to outer sheath
- Bill of materials calculated from the construction
- Manufacturing route attached to the design
Calculations
Current ratings for your own installation conditions
- IEC 60287 ratings at engineering grade
- Your laying conditions, soil and ambient temperatures
- Short-circuit capability calculated with the design
Datasheets
The technical datasheet is generated from the design — for engineers and for customers
- One source of truth: design, calculations, datasheet
- Engineering and customer versions of the same TDS
- Every value marked as standard data or estimate
Calculation methods
One versioned calculation method per product family
- Build a 220 kV cable and rebuild it for 400 kV in a live preview
- Rules of the standard encoded once, reused in every design
- Versioned, so released designs can be replayed
New design
From parameters to a complete construction preview
- Enter voltage, conductor, screen, sheath and standard
- See the complete construction before you save
- Hand over to engineering for review and release
Actual vs Standard
Every production batch compared with its design
- Measured results next to designed values and the standard
- Deviations visible per batch and per plant
- Closes the loop from tender to shop floor
- BEEDIGIT MES
Batch and machine data captured on the shop floor
- BEEDIGIT QMS
Quality records, deviations and approvals
Add-ons
Add-ons that pay back in the tender office.
AI proposes, your engineer approves.
Engineering & data
Engineering your auditor trusts.
- Every value marked as standard data or estimate.
- Released designs can be replayed with the inputs they were calculated with.
- IEC 60287 ratings at engineering grade for design and selection; type tests remain the reference.
- Approvals, change orders and audit trail on every change.
