Are you measuring your cable waste?

Every day, due to a lack of visibility, broadband telecommunications companies are wasting between 10% and 20% of their optical fibre cable inventory.

Why is more cable purchased than is necessary?

How much?

  • Not knowing the exact length remaining on a drum leads to over-consumption of cables.  
  • Due to unreliable information, it is common on a construction site to prioritise the use of a new cable drum, without utilising the remaining lengths, which, in many cases, would be adequate.

Where?

  • An FTTH project can be spread over multiple construction sites. 
  • Once the cable drums are delivered to the various sites, they are easily lost. 
  • At the end of a project, many drums still containing usable cable lengths are lost.
  • Ease of location, for reallocation is crucial.

Who?

  • FTTH deployments involve many stakeholders, making logistics tracking complex and time-consuming for project managers and warehouse teams.
  • Stock management and monitoring is necessary from time of product purchasing through to the final product deployment.

QR-DRUM: An innovative digital solution
QR-DRUM allows you to track the deployment history of cable drums, locate their position, and identify remaining lengths for more efficient management.

How Does It Work?

QR code

Unique QR code: Each reel has a unique QR code that acts as its digital twin, allowing it to be tracked throughout its lifecycle with a simple scan.

Field application

A smartphone application allows you to record the lengths of cable deployed and update the remaining length on the reel, as well as its geolocation. This simplifies and makes field reporting more reliable, thus improving operational efficiency.

Web platform

Provides a comprehensive view of inventory and deployments, specifically designed for logistics teams. It enables precise management of logistics flows and deployments by project and subcontractor.

QR-DRUM is compatible with all your cable-drum stock, no matter the manufacturer!
