Cloudis - CMPIC (Configuration Managed Project Integrated Cabling) Cable Management System

CMPIC (Configuration Managed Project Integrated Cabling) is a sophisticated application for cable management. Covering all aspects of cabling from design through to testing, CMPIC is used by a number of very large UK and European companies. In its previous version, ICEPIC, in use since 1996, the software has been used on projects to automatically route and manage over 30,000 cables.

Our design modules include the following features.

LIBRARIES - CABLE TYPES, TERMINAL TYPES, CABLE TRAYS AND SEGREGATION CLASSES

Here you define and record information and attributes on items such as equipment, cable types, glands, terminal types, cable trays, ducts and segregation classes. Once entered, the data in the libraries is available to users via drop down lists.

NODAL NETWORK CREATION

Using CMPIC's Nodal Network Creation Module, you can enter data directly, or import it from the CAD system.

CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT (OPTIONAL)

Configuration management features make it easy to amend the cabling design without the costs and potential errors that duplication of information can cause.

DEVICE SCHEDULING

CMPIC's Device Schedule holds information about device type, location, and distance from the nodal network, number and types of terminals and type of entry.

CABLE SCHEDULING

The Cable Schedule holds information on cable numbers, usage, segregation class, type, nodes, cable type and connections. To create a schedule, all you need is basic information on the cable number, adding detail as it becomes available.

MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC ROUTING

CMPIC supports both manual and automatic routing with or without a CAD interface. So you can decide how best to use the software to support your project.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT (CABLE ROUTE APPROVAL)

CMPIC ensures that cable routes are approved before installation. Before approval, the design team can still make changes. Afterwards, all modifications are subject to a change control process.

TERMINATIONS

CMPIC holds comprehensive information on cables in its libraries and matches these against the terminals specified in the device schedule. Once design is complete, you can produce a termination report to aid installation.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT (TERMINATION APPROVAL)

You can see the status of all cable terminations at any time using CMPIC's Change Control module. You can also speed up the approval process by viewing approvals by device rather than by cable.

Our production modules include the following features.

INSTALLATION PLANNING AND CABLE INSTALLATION

CMPIC can be used to create 'work packages' against which cables can be grouped in many different ways for installation together.

DEVICE INSTALLATION

Reports give you all the information you need to manage the process successfully, including status, earthing requirements, and feedback checks.

CABLE DRUMMING

Schedules and reports allow you to reduce wastage and control materials usage. This module includes drum optimisation facilities.

MATERIAL AND STORES CONTROL

Stores control provides an accurate inventory of all materials supplied and used on a project. Quantities entered into CMPIC at the design and installation phases are compared with actual usage.

TERMINATIONS

You can use CMPIC to create reports and on-line queries to simplify and improve the testing process. You can use this to 'tree walk' through a system to check connectivity and look for loops.

STANDARD REPORTS

CMPIC has a large number of standard reports and screen queries that provide information at a summary and detailed level. Double click functions enable you to 'drill down' to more detailed information.

VISIO INTERFACE

CMPIC has an optional standard interface to Microsoft's Visio software for the production of cable connection diagrams directly from the CMPIC database. This can also be used to populate the CMPIC database through Visio diagrams.

READ ONLY OPTION

CMPIC has a read only web-enabled version of its user interface, which has a Windows look and feel ideal for people who are infrequent or perhaps management users.
