Client:

One of the global leaders in construction equipment, transport and machinery, this company produces a range of 150 different models to ISO countries throughout the world.

Combining the highest quality ruggedised manufacturing with state-of-the-art computerised and satelite technology, this is a truly world-class company.

Brief:

The client's range of construction vehicles are all available with an advanced vehicle management and tracking telematics system, providing real-time location and maintenance monitoring of each customer's assets.

CIE Electronics were requested by the client to produce a ruggedised, IP-rated cable loom to connect the monitoring system to the vehicles' on-board electronics.

Specification for the cable loom required the use of existing Deutsh connectors, high IP-rating and ruggedisation capable of withstanding high temperatures and increased levels of misuse.

The Solution:

The CIE team used the customer's specified existing Deutsch connectors and produced new custom tooling for over-moulding in two stages, providing a high ingress protection rating and considerable extra strength.

The IP-rated protection also extended to the two in-line fuse holders. Teflon wire and PC material were also used to withstand higher than usual temperatures experienced due to the cables' close proximity to the vehicles' engine block.
