PLM for fiber optic cable makers

Fiber optic cable design, from tender requirement to production.

CablePLM treats fiber optic cables as their own product line: structured constructions, bill of materials, datasheets and versioned calculation methods, with a path to planning and production next to your ERP.

  • Fiber optic constructions layer by layer
  • BOM and datasheet from the design
  • Versioned calculation methods per family
  • Cloud, SSO, tenant isolation

The problem

Every tender is a new cable.

01

Fibers, tubes, strength members and sheath — a new combination for every tender.

02

Datasheets and cost must be right the first time, at tender speed.

03

What the plant makes must match what was designed and quoted.

Product

One source of truth for every fiber optic design

Construction

Layer-by-layer construction from fibers and tubes to the outer sheath.

Bill of materials

Materials calculated from the construction, with the manufacturing route attached.

Datasheets

Engineering and customer versions of the same datasheet, generated from the design.

Calculation methods

One versioned calculation method per product family, reused in every design.

AI proposes, your engineer approves.

How it works

One connected flow

  1. Requirement

    Tender or customer spec captured as structured requirements.

  2. Design

    Generated to the standard: layers, BOM, datasheet, calculations.

  3. Release

    Approvals, change orders and release packages.

  4. Production

    factory.online planning, BEEDIGIT MES and BEEDIGIT QMS.

  5. Actual vs Standard

    Measured results compared with the design and the standard.
