Your drawing lines are running.
But which drum is at what stage and which order is it for?
From rod receipt to dispatch — live visibility across every wire and cable production stage. Track conductor drawing, stranding, insulation, armour, testing, and drum despatch with full drum-wise traceability.
Wire and cable manufacturers — drum-wise production visibility live
As featured in PrintWeek India, April 2026
Your Production Flow
Every drum. Every stage. Every test result tracked.
This is how a print job moves through your business. Clicarity gives you live visibility at every phase — and flags delays before they become client calls.
01
Order & Planning
3 stages
Order Received
Customer order confirmed — cable type, size, length, standard, delivery date.
✓ Clicarity: Job ID and drum ID created, material planned
Raw Material Planning
Copper/aluminium rod, insulation compound, armour wire, sheathing compound planned.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: copper rod shortage — entire production schedule shifts
Rod Procurement
Copper or aluminium rod procured with test certificate.
✓ Clicarity: Rod lot number recorded — traceability from rod to finished drum
02
Conductor Manufacturing
4 stages
Rod Drawing
Copper or aluminium rod drawn down to required conductor size.
✓ Clicarity: Drawing speed and wire diameter logged — deviation flagged
Annealing
Drawn wire annealed for required flexibility.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: annealing furnace issue — wire becomes brittle, batch scrapped
Stranding / Bunching
Multiple wires stranded or bunched to form conductor.
✓ Clicarity: Pitch and lay length logged per drum
Conductor Electrical Test
Resistance and continuity tested on conductor before insulation.
✓ Clicarity: Test result logged — insulation cannot start without pass
03
Insulation & Core Making
3 stages
Insulation Extrusion
Insulation compound extruded over conductor at required thickness.
✓ Clicarity: Insulation thickness and eccentricity logged per drum
Spark Testing
Each insulated core spark tested for insulation integrity.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: spark test failures — core re-insulated, material wasted
Core Identification
Cores colour coded or numbered per cable standard.
04
Cabling & Armour
3 stages
Cabling / Laying Up
Individual cores laid up into multi-core cable formation.
✓ Clicarity: Cable length per drum tracked — order length vs produced length
Armour / Bedding
Steel wire armour or aluminium armour applied where required.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: armour wire run-out — production stops mid-drum
Outer Sheathing
PVC or XLPE outer sheath extruded over armour.
✓ Clicarity: Sheath thickness logged — final drum length confirmed
05
Testing & Dispatch
3 stages
Final Electrical Testing
Finished cable tested per IS/IEC standard — voltage, resistance, insulation resistance.
✓ Clicarity: Test results logged per drum — dispatch blocked until pass
Drum Marking & Packaging
Drum marked with cable details, length, and batch number.
✓ Clicarity: Drum length verified against order before dispatch
Dispatch
Drums dispatched with test certificates and delivery challan.
✓ Clicarity: Full traceability from rod lot to dispatch preserved
Where Wire & Cable Manufacturers Lose Output & Quality
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps businesses identify and fix within the first few weeks.
Late Test Failure
Armour applied before insulation failure discovered — 180m of cable scrapped
A cable manufacturer found insulation failures only at final testing — after armour and sheathing had already been applied. 180 metres scrapped per incident — average 3 incidents per month. With Clicarity, spark testing is a mandatory stage before cabling starts. Late-stage scrap from insulation failures: eliminated.
Late-stage insulation scrap eliminated — spark test enforced before cabling
Armour Wire
Armour wire run-out stopped production on 6 drums in one month
Tracking material consumption per drum revealed armour wire was running out mid-production on 6 drums per month — reels were not being tracked against drum requirements. With Clicarity, armour wire allocation is a stage before armour application. Run-out stoppages: eliminated.
Armour wire run-out stoppages eliminated
Drum Length
Drum dispatched 12% short — discovered at customer site
Final drum length was not being verified against the order before dispatch. A 500-metre order was dispatched with 438 metres — discovered at the customer's site during laying. With Clicarity, drum length confirmation is a mandatory dispatch stage. Short dispatch incidents: zero since implementation.
Short drum dispatch eliminated — length verified before every dispatch
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""Testing used to be the last thing — and failures meant rework after the full cable was made. Now we track electrical tests at each stage. We catch issues at insulation, not after armour and sheathing are done.""

Questions from wire cable businesses
How does Clicarity work for a printing business specifically?
Clicarity is configured around your specific print workflow — pre-press, printing, finishing, dispatch — in your terminology. Every job gets a unique ID and moves through your defined stages. You see live status, timestamps, and bottleneck alerts at every stage. The Clicarity team builds everything for you. You go live in 5 days.
Does it work for both offset and digital printing?
Yes. Clicarity works for any print process — offset, digital, wide format, screen printing, or a combination. The stages are configured around your actual workflow. If offset jobs go through plate making and digital jobs skip that stage, both can be tracked correctly under the same system.
Can it track material wastage at each stage?
Yes — with the Multi Licence. At every stage, your team logs quantity in and quantity out. Clicarity calculates the loss automatically. You see wastage by stage, by job, live — not at month-end when nothing can be done about it.
Will my press operators actually use it?
Yes. The update screen has two fields — Job ID and status. Under a minute. No training needed. GP Offset's entire team was using it from day one, including floor workers who had never used a software system before.
See every drum. Every stage. Before the test fails.
