Vestall among the first to try Tromløp 2.0 with Ultracker

The NX drum from Nexans has long been a favorite in the industry. What now makes it a game changer is the Nexans Ultracker technology, a small "gadget" that is placed in the drum. It automatically measures the remaining length of cable on the drum and has a GPS unit that shows where the drum is at all times.

- A classic challenge is that no one knows how much cable is left on the drums after the end of the project. This means that there will be some cable waste. With Nexans Ultracker, you avoid that, says Kyrre Beenfeldt, logistics manager at Nexans.

As easy as reading VG

- The aim was to make it as simple as possible. It should be as easy to retrieve information about your drums in the Nexans portal as it is to read VG, says Beenfeldt.

This means that the flow of information can now take place in real time across the office and the project group out in the field - completely without manual processes and Excel forms.

A drum with a long life

In the energy industry, everyone works for a sustainable future. It is then important to make responsible choices where possible.

Among other things, the NX drums come with a steel ring around the drum, which extends its lifespan considerably.

Other advantages of Nexan's digitized Tromløp 2.0 are: 

• Easy localization of drums with GPS
• Find the nearest drum if a replacement is needed
• Access to total inventory and project overview in real time on the web and in the app
• Cape history (??)
• Automatic notification when drums enter and leave the construction site
• Temperature control of cable
• Quick return and deposit for empty drum
• Recycling of cable scraps
• NX drum for reuse
