At TKF, everything centres around the connection to society, driven by innovative solutions for digitalisation and electrification. Since its founding in 1930, TKF has grown from a cable producer into a technologically leading supplier of connectivity solutions.
Efficiency is a core value in TKF's pursuit of ongoing improvement. That's why the company uses standards and makes all the necessary product information available through 2BA in the OMDS format. This not only saves time and energy for them and their clients, it also enables them to concentrate on further optimising their range.
TKF has an extensive portfolio of cables, systems and services, offering global solutions for the creation of safe and reliable energy and data connections. Thanks to a targeted focus on its own market segment, the company sets itself apart with specialised knowledge of applications and cable solutions and a high standard of reliability, quality and service. Technical expertise and flexibility contribute to an increased yield for the clients on the investment. And that also goes for all the data that TKF processes.
Peter Nes explains: ‘All the information on our marine cables is available through 2BA in the OMDS format. That’s important not only to allow our clients to work as efficiently as possible, but also to make sure that TKF itself can operate as efficiently as possible. By making use of standards and making all our product information available in this format, we eliminate the need for phone calls and emails back and forth to unearth data obviously needed and convert it into a suitable format for our clients. It saves us, the supplier, precious time and energy which we can now put into solutions for allowing the whole process from purchase to installation of our marine cables to run even more smoothly.’
TKF foresees an even greater importance of standards and data exchange in the future. It’s important for facilitating more 3D/BIM engineering with their cables, and for establishing material passports and dossiers on the delivery of ships. This will increase the efficiency right across the entire supply chain and enable smoother operating.
