Smart Cable Feeding: Reducing Downtime & Costs

Auto-ancilliary companies — especially those supplying wire-harnesses, cables, connectors and assemblies to OEMs — face mounting pressure to deliver higher volumes, shorter lead-times, consistent quality, and lower costs. At the same time they must manage more complex harnesses, multiple variants, high automation demands, and the risk of downtime due to material handling or feeding issues.[…]

High-Efficiency Shrink Sleeve Heating Solution for Auto-Ancillaries

In today’s automotive supply chain, auto-ancillary companies (wire-harness manufacturers, connector suppliers, switch/relay makers) face increasing demands: higher volumes, tighter tolerances, more variant complexity, stricter quality & traceability standards, and constant cost-pressure. Specifically, when applying heat-shrink sleeves on wiring harnesses and connectors, manufacturers are challenged by: inconsistent shrink results (uneven heating causing rework) long cycle times[…]

Enhancing Cable Reliability with the Bending & Torsion Test Setup

A leading automotive wiring harness manufacturer faced recurring challenges during cable validation. Their cables undergo continuous bending and twisting in real-world environments—inside vehicle doors, dashboards, tailgates, steering systems, and various other moving mechanisms.However, their existing testing methods were manual, inconsistent, and time-consuming, resulting in: Delayed product approvals Higher testing costs Frequent cable failures due to[…]
