Ducab’s Digital Upgrade: Powering Smarter Cable Manufacturing

UAE cable manufacturer Ducab has started a major digital upgrade by adopting SAP S/4HANA across its business. This ERP system is designed to connect processes, improve operational visibility, and enable real-time data access.

Ducab produces 150+ cable types, using copper and aluminium, and supplies industries including energy, infrastructure, construction, renewables, and specialised high-performance sectors. Its digital investment supports its ongoing focus on innovation and sustainability. Materials-recycling programmes, drum re-use initiatives, and energy-efficient manufacturing are already part of its strategy.

For the wider wire and cable sector, the shift signals a growing need for real-time production data, better forecasting, tighter supply-chain control, and improved internal collaboration. These capabilities help manufacturers respond faster to changing demand and raw-material volatility.

Digital upgrades at this scale also highlight a clear message for the industry: connected systems reduce manual workload, increase process speed, and create clearer paths for planning. Manufacturers relying on spreadsheets and separated data risk slower decisions and reduced responsiveness.

As more cable producers invest in digital infrastructure, demand for smart machinery, automation, process monitoring, and software integration is expected to rise. For suppliers, partners, and trade associations, this transition opens new opportunities for collaboration, improvement, and modernisation.

Ducab’s move reflects the direction of industrial progress. The cable industry is evolving quickly, and companies embracing connected digital tools will be better positioned to scale, adapt, and compete.
