Technical requirements: Medium-voltage cables are grouped in sets of three in a triangular configuration. This arrangement reduces the magnetic field between the cables, optimizing energy flow and minimizing net energy loss.

Currently, the bundling of medium-voltage (MV) cables is a labor-intensive, manual process. Cables are grouped in sets of three and tied with a tie wrap every meter. With thousands of kilometers of MV cables planned for installation in the near future, this bundling task is increasingly time-consuming. Additionally, the repetitive nature of the work places significant physical strain on workers. Addressing both efficiency and workforce well-being is crucial to the success of this large-scale project.

In an ideal scenario, the bundling process for medium-voltage (MV) cables would be streamlined to improve both efficiency and worker welfare. The goal is to implement a solution that can group cables quickly and accurately without requiring manual intervention at every meter. This innovation would substantially reduce installation time, enabling a more efficient workflow.
In this envisioned setup, the installation process would not only be faster and more efficient but also safer and more sustainable. This would facilitate the successful deployment of thousands of kilometers of MV cables in future projects. By prioritizing productivity and employee welfare, this approach would lead to a more effective and harmonious operation overall.
