Cimteq to Showcase Industry 4.0
Capabilities at International Conference
The Cimteq team are exhibiting at the IWCS 2019 Cable and Connectivity Symposium,
which is taking place at the Charlotte Convention Centre in North Carolina next month.
The company will also be part of the
Symposium’s poster presentation, with a paper
– ‘Applying Industry 4.0 to the Cable Factory
Environment’ – prepared by Yufei Du, Cimteq’s
Software Implementation Manager.
The presentation, based on Yufei’s paper, examines
Industry 4.0 and explores its application to the cable
industry at every level - from the shop floor through
to product design, R&D, sales and finance – forms
part of the wider conference. In addition to the
presentation at the symposium, accepted papers will
be available in the symposium proceedings book and
in the IWCS online archive.
IWCS is viewed as an event for exploring new
technologies in cable and connectivity materials,
products, processes and applications. Delegates can
explore the latest technologies within a symposium
format and there is the opportunity to attend
professional development courses with tutorials on
basic and emerging technologies. There will also be
the chance to speak with leading industry suppliers
at the exhibition and network with other industry
professionals.
For over 20 years, Cimteq has been the cable design
and manufacturing software provider of choice, with
customers spanning Asia, Africa, North America,
South America, Europe and Australia. Its presence at
the show (stand #502) gives visitors the opportunity
to meet Sales Director Richard Cotter and Account
Manager James Concannon to find out more about
how their businesses can take full advantage of
Industry 4.0.

so far in 2019.
