Trackers that accurately determine the amount of cable remaining and the position of a drum.
Reading time: 2 minutes
Goodbye, long line.
We fast-forward and present: this is how inventory management and automatic reordering work today. Our NB-IoT Cable Drum Tracker precisely detects every coil revolution and calculates the remaining amount of cable — regardless of different cable diameters. Pretty smart. With innovative wireless technology, the exact indoor or outdoor position and the amount of cable are transferred to the Cable Drum Tracker dashboard. This saves costs and time and ensures effective inventory management during spool turning.
Cable length at a glance
Precise automatic detection of coil revolutions and calculation of the remaining cable length.
Transfer of position
Outdoor position is transferred to the cloud at a freely configurable interval when moving. In the building, the position is determined via BLE or Wi Fi (optional).
Long range
High range and building penetration through the integration of IoT technologies (NB-IoT).

1. Determination of outdoor position
The position of the coil is determined periodically and when moving via GPS.
2. Calculation of coil rotations
The Cable Drum Tracker on the outer flank of the coil measures the speed of rotation of the cable drum by gyroscope and calculates the resulting revolutions.
3. Data transmission
Data transmission periodically and when moving via NB IoT to WIS relay service and Cable Drum Tracker backend.
4. Calculation of cable length
The calculation of the cable length is based on various parameters by an algorithm in the backend.
5. Display of information
All relevant information is displayed in the dashboard or transmitted to the customer backend.
