From shop-floor data to smarter decisions
InnoVites strengthens its Asian presence at wire China 2026
Wire and cable manufacturing is becoming increasingly data-driven: production teams are focusing on visibility into what is happening on the shop floor, engineering teams are accessing reliable product data, and management is focusing on systems that connect rather than create another information silo.
These are some of the conversations InnoVites will bring to wire China 2026, where the company will exhibit at Stand E1B68-7 and also contribute to the conference program.
InnoVites develops software solutions specifically for the wire and cable industry, covering cable design and engineering, ERP, manufacturing execution, and CRM. At the event, the focus will be on how these systems can work together to give manufacturers better control over the flow of information, from customer requirements and engineering through to planning and production.
That connected view, or digital thread, is becoming increasingly important as manufacturers look beyond individual software systems and start asking a broader question: how can connected data across the business actually lead to better decisions?
Building closer connections with the Asian market
InnoVites already has an established operational presence in Asia through its teams in India, with offices in Chennai and Hyderabad, and works with manufacturers in the region, including RR Kabel, Atlas Cables, and many others.
China represents an important next step in that regional engagement. The scale and sophistication of the Chinese wire and cable industry make it an important market for any serious conversation around manufacturing technology. At the same time, the challenges being discussed are familiar across the industry: how to improve productivity, gain better visibility into production, strengthen traceability, connect legacy and modern equipment, and make useful information available to people when they need it.
For InnoVites, wire China is an opportunity to have those conversations directly with local manufacturers, understand where their digital priorities are moving, and share experience gained from working exclusively within the wire and cable industry.
The 2026 edition will also mark InnoVites’ first participation. Rather than treating this event simply as an opportunity to enter a new geography, the company sees it as a chance to build relationships and better understand the specific requirements of manufacturers operating in the Chinese market. At the exhibition, InnoVites will showcase its portfolio of industry-specific solutions, including cableCORE DesignCenter, cableCORE MES, cableERP, and cableCRM.
The individual products address different parts of a cable manufacturer's operation, but the bigger story is how information moves between them.
A cable begins as a customer requirement. That requirement has to become an accurate design and quotation. Once an order is placed, engineering data needs to flow into planning and production. Materials, lengths, drums, machines and production orders all have to be coordinated. And once manufacturing begins, what actually happens on the factory floor needs to feed back into the rest of the business.
When those stages operate in isolation, manufacturers spend considerable effort reconciling information between systems and departments. Connecting them creates a much more useful digital foundation.
cableCORE DesignCenter addresses the engineering side of that process. It helps cable manufacturers structure product and design data, reuse existing designs, improve collaboration between sales and engineering, and move more efficiently from customer inquiry to an accurate cable design and quotation. AI-assisted capabilities are also being introduced to reduce repetitive engineering work and help users work more effectively with existing product knowledge.
cableERP, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Business Central, extends ERP with capabilities specific to the wire and cable industry. These include length-based inventory and production, drum and reel management, production planning, and price checks for volatile raw materials such as copper and aluminum.
On the manufacturing floor, cableCORE MES provides the execution layer; It connects production orders, machines, operators, materials, quality processes, and production events, giving manufacturers a clearer view of what is actually happening during production.
The objective is not simply to digitize each department separately, but rather to to create a more connected flow of information across the cable manufacturing business.
From production data to better decisions
This idea will also be explored in InnoVites’ presentation at wire China. Mitesh Zatakiya, Senior MES Expert in the wire and cable industry, will present “From Shop-Floor Data to AI-Driven Manufacturing Decisions” on 23rd September at 12:00 – 12:30.
AI is attracting considerable attention in manufacturing, but for many cable producers the more immediate opportunity lies in making better use of the production data they already have or could have.
In many cable plants, important information remains spread across machines, PLCs, operator inputs, paper records, spreadsheets, and separate systems. Production reports may tell management what happened after a shift has finished but provide limited help when a problem is developing in real time. A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) changes that by creating a consistent layer of shop-floor information.
Production progress, machine status, downtime, setup time, scrap, quality results, material usage, and traceability events can all become part of the same operational picture. Once that information is captured consistently, manufacturers can move from simply collecting data to using it.
- OEE can reveal where productive capacity is being lost.
- Downtime analysis can identify recurring causes rather than treating every stoppage as an isolated incident.
- Scrap information can be compared across products, machines, or production conditions.
- Production delays can be understood rather than merely reported.
- Traceability becomes part of the production process instead of an investigation carried out afterwards.
None of these applications require manufacturers to wait for AI. They are practical improvements that can help production teams make better decisions today.
Creating the foundation for AI
Where AI becomes interesting is what happens next. Reliable, structured historical production data creates the foundation for more advanced analytics. Over time, manufacturers can begin comparing machines, identifying patterns, detecting unusual behavior, and developing models that help teams understand what is likely to happen rather than only what has already happened.
That is a very different proposition from introducing AI simply because the technology is available. The quality of an AI-driven manufacturing decision will ultimately depend on the quality and context of the data behind it.
For InnoVites, the progression is therefore clear: connect the operation, create reliable data, make that data useful to people, and then apply more advanced analytics and AI where they can genuinely improve decision-making. It is also why the company's presence at wire China goes beyond demonstrating individual software products.
The larger conversation is about how cable manufacturers can connect engineering, business systems, and production so that information moves more effectively across the organization, and how that foundation can support the next generation of manufacturing decisions.
Visitors can meet the InnoVites team at Stand E1B68-7 at wire China 2026 in Shanghai.
