The cable industry is a strategic sector that forms the infrastructure of many critical fields such as energy, automotive, construction, defense industry, telecommunications, and industrial automation. Cables, which ensure the safe and uninterrupted transmission of electrical energy, data, and signals, are among the indispensable components of modern life and industry. For this reason, cable manufacturing is a production field that requires high quality standards, precise process control, and continuous technological development.

Today, cable manufacturers face many challenges such as rising raw material costs, energy consumption, intense competition, quality expectations, and compliance with international standards. To overcome these challenges, automation, digitalization, software solutions, and professional project management have become necessities rather than choices. As Körfeztek Teknoloji, we make production processes more efficient, traceable, and sustainable with solutions developed specifically for the cable industry.

Structure and Importance of the Cable Industry
The cable industry plays a critical role in both energy and data transmission. Produced cables cover a wide product range, from low-, medium-, and high-voltage power cables to communication and fiber optic cables.

The main characteristics of the sector are as follows:

Continuous and high-precision production processes

High dependency on raw material quality

International standards and certification requirements

Intensive energy consumption

High quality and traceability expectations

Wide product variety and special customer demands

This structure makes strict process control and digital monitoring indispensable in the cable industry.

Cable Production Processes
Cable manufacturing consists of multiple sequential and sensitive stages. Each stage directly affects the performance and safety of the final product.

Raw Material Preparation
Raw materials such as copper, aluminum, plastic, and rubber undergo quality control before entering the production process. Automatic weighing and feeding systems play a critical role in ensuring correct ratios.

Wire Drawing
The wire drawing process brings copper or aluminum to the desired diameters. Speed, tension, and diameter control are of great importance at this stage. Automation systems guarantee consistent wire quality.

Stranding and Conductor Preparation
In multi-strand cables, the stranding process determines the mechanical and electrical properties of the conductor. Process automation ensures stranding precision and repeatability.

Insulation and Sheathing
Insulation and outer sheathing are critical stages for cable safety and durability. Temperature, pressure, and speed control on extrusion lines are achieved through automation systems.

Armoring and Special Coatings
Armoring and special coatings are applied especially in industrial and underground cables. These processes increase the mechanical strength of the cable.

Testing and Quality Control
Electrical tests, diameter measurements, and mechanical strength tests are an integral part of production. Automated testing systems ensure that quality standards are maintained.

The Importance of Automation in the Cable Industry
Cable manufacturing consists of high-speed, continuously operating lines. Manual interventions can lead to quality fluctuations and production losses.

The main advantages provided by automation to the cable industry are:

Consistency in product quality

Precise control of process parameters

Reduction of scrap and waste rates

Increase in production speed

Minimization of human error

Energy and raw material savings

Körfeztek Teknoloji ensures that facilities operate at maximum efficiency by developing automation solutions specifically for cable production lines.

Process Automation and Control Systems
In the cable industry, process automation covers all stages of the production line. With PLC and SCADA systems, lines are centrally monitored and controlled.

PLC and Line Control
Wire drawing, extrusion, and winding lines are managed with PLC-based control systems. Parameters such as speed, temperature, and pressure are monitored in real time.

SCADA and Monitoring Systems
SCADA systems enable all production lines to be monitored from a single center. Operators can instantly intervene in potential deviations.

Alarm and Quality Monitoring
Deviations in critical parameters are automatically detected and alarm scenarios are activated. This structure guarantees quality continuity.

Digitalization and the Cable Industry
Digitalization enables a data-driven management approach in the cable industry. All processes from production to quality, from maintenance to planning, become digitally traceable.

Data Collection and Analysis
Data collected from production lines is analyzed to evaluate performance, quality, and efficiency.

Traceability and Batch Tracking
Batch-based traceability is of great importance in the cable industry. Digital systems record the production history of each product.

Digital Reporting
Real-time reporting systems provide managers with instant decision-support capabilities.

Software Development and Cable Applications
Standard software often does not meet all needs in cable manufacturing. Process-specific software provides a competitive advantage.

Software solutions developed by Körfeztek Teknoloji:

Production monitoring and reporting software

Quality and testing management systems

Energy consumption and efficiency software

Maintenance and fault management applications

ERP and MES integrations

These software solutions accelerate the digital transformation of cable plants.

Energy Management and Efficiency
Energy consumption is a significant cost item in the cable industry. Especially extrusion and wire drawing lines consume high amounts of energy.

With energy management systems:

Energy consumption is monitored in real time

Inefficient lines are identified

Energy savings are achieved

Carbon footprint is reduced

This approach supports sustainable production.

Quality Standards and Certification
The cable industry is strictly bound to national and international standards. Standards such as IEC, VDE, TSE, and UL are considered at every stage of production.

Automation and digital quality systems facilitate compliance with these standards and accelerate audit processes.

Occupational Health and Safety
Moving machinery and high temperatures pose occupational safety risks in cable manufacturing plants. Automation and safety systems minimize these risks.

Employee safety is enhanced through sensors, emergency stop systems, and ergonomic designs.

Flexible Production and Product Variety
Customer demands and product variety are quite high in the cable industry. Flexible production lines enable rapid transitions between different products.

Automation and software solutions make recipe-based production and fast product changeovers possible.

Project Management and Cable Plants
Projects carried out in cable production facilities require meticulous project management due to high investment costs and the need for production continuity.

In cable industry projects, Körfeztek Teknoloji adopts the following approaches:

Detailed needs and feasibility analysis

Process and line design

Time and budget control

Risk management
