AIA: Labeling System Streamlines Cable Assembly Process
Nortech Systems Inc. (Wayzata, MN) produces wire harness and cable assemblies for a vast array of applications. The company assembles more than 1 million cables annually. An order can consist of one custom cable or thousands of cables for a huge network infrastructure.
Nortech's customers were increasingly demanding that cables be labeled to meet documentation and quality assurance requirements. However, the process of creating, printing and manually wrapping identification labels on cables represented a big investment of time and talent each day. That's why Stephen Vandre, quality manager at Nortech, started looking for automated cable labeling equipment.
