Nexans and Ffly4u Connect Customers to their Cable Drums through the Internet of Things
Paris, March 9, 2017 – Returnable cable drums are the unsung workhorse of the cable manufacturing Industry. Typically, they provide years of service in transporting cables from the factory to the customer and storing them on site until they are needed. And when empty they are collected and returned to the factory to begin another cycle. It seems a simple and straightforward process. So just why is Nexans interested in working with ffly4u to connect its cable drums to the Internet of Things (IoT)? The answer lies in the numbers. For example, a DSO (distribution service operator) like France’s Enedis can spend several million Euros a year in renting cable drums.
