Maillefer at IWCS 2016 – Production efficiency – the only way to success !
At IWCS 2016 this October Maillefer presented new limits for ultra-high speed buffering . The global demand for optical fiber cables is increasing in an ever growing rate . During the past 10 years the average yearly global growth has been 17 % and it is projected to keep increasing . At the same time the market has seen very tight competition between the margins . The key to this problem is in increasing the efficiency of cable manufacturing lines .
Product Engineer Juha Kotala was present at the show and commented : “ It is great to meet customers and hear that they are facing challenges to reach the production capacity which is needed nowadays ”.
R & D Director Dr . Mikko Lahti continues , “ We have been studying buffering process for years . Still today we can explore new things when running the line close to 1000 m / min . Both on material and on process side we have gathered exiting knowledge which can lead to even better cable quality at ultra-high speed buffering ”.
The gentlemen agree that it is really beneficial to change ideas and experiences with fellow colleagues every year . And that the show gives a perfect opportunity for further networking during the evening events . Both hope to meet everyone again next year .
