Abstract

The cable industry faces growing pressure to remain highly flexible and supply the wide range of cables the automotive sector requires. This pressure also affects companies that provide cable harness testing equipment to ensure that inspection and testing are performed as reliably as possible. This study aims to support the planning of an Industry 4.0 (I4.0) solutions network that is compatible with diverse companies across various industries, particularly in highly customized manufacturing environments. It examines a holistic reference model for the production process of a cable harness testing equipment company to identify optimization opportunities and gaps that could be addressed through I4.0 technologies. The paper proposes a qualified seven-stage solutions network interconnected through an IoT-based system. The identification layer specifies a secure 13.56 MHz HF-RFID/NFC credential and treats Data Matrix as a conditional worksheet choice based on compactness and standards adoption, or as a direct-part-marking option when lifecycle traceability is required. The architecture also incorporates an edge database and edge computer vision. Practitioners could use this framework as a foundational template for highly customized, data-intensive industrial applications, subject to empirical validation and adaptation to the specific production context.
