A computerized method of producing a customized digital installation guide for building a sealed installation of one or more cables, pipes or wires by assembling ordered and delivered transit components to form a transit

Abstract

A computerized method (400) of producing a customized digital installation guide for a cable, pipe or wire transit is disclosed. A database (50) of transit components (210) and associated (214) installation instruction sections (220) for the respective transit components is provided. A digital order (242) is generated (410) for a customizable transit (1) comprising selected transit components (218). An order identity (244) is assigned (420) to the generated digital order (242). In the database (50) an association (246) is stored (430) between the order identity (244) and the selected transit components (218) of the digital order (242). A machine-readable code (70) representing the order identity (244) is generated (440). A delivery (340) of the selected transit components (218) to an installation site (6) is caused (450) in accordance with the digital order (242). The generated machine-readable code (70) is associated (460) with the delivery (340). A digital installation guide request, comprising the order identity (244) as being derived by a remote computing device (100) reading (465) the machine- readable code (70) associated with the delivery (340), is received (470). The database (50) is searched (480) to determine the transit components (212) associated with the derived order identity (244). Installation instruction sections (222) for the determined transit components (218) associated with the derived order identity (244) are retrieved (490) from the database (50). The retrieved installation instruction sections (222) are compiled (500) into a customized digital installation guide (80) for building a sealed installation of one or more cables, pipes or wires (2) by assembling the delivered transit components (218) to form the transit (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of sealed installation of cables, pipes or wires, and more particularly to a computerized method of making a customized digital installation guide for a cable, pipe or wire This customizable digital installation guide assists installers when constructing a sealed installation of one or more cables, pipes or wires to form a pass-through. The invention also relates to a system for making customized digital installation guides for cables, pipes or wire-throughs. Background technique [0002] The sealing installation of cables, pipes or wires is often used in many different environments, for example, in cabinets, technical sheds, junction boxes and machines. They are used in a variety of different industries such as automotive, telecommunications, power generation and distribution, and marine and offshore. Sealing installations are used to effectively seal against fluids, gases, fire, rodents, termites...

Problems solved by technology

However, this method has disadvantages

One disadvantage is that a very large number of assembly manuals must be prepared and kept (again because of the aforementioned considerable diversity in installation requirements, types of through-pieces and types of through-piece parts)

This in turn leads to a waste of resources

In addition, orders for specific installations are usually tailor-made to suit the exact, individual needs and requirements of the site concerned, so there is always a significant risk of not having a pre-made assembly manual available for inclusion with the delivery

[0009] An additional complication is the risk of pre-made assembly manuals becoming obsolete due to changes in any of the pass-through components involved
