App Concept

CablePath Optimizer

CablePath Optimizer is a mobile app for electrical field technicians that uses AR and a cable property database to recommend the best routing paths for large conductors. It suggests strategic pull points and connector usage to minimize stiffness issues, eliminating the need for destructive workarounds. Designed specifically for tooling and equipment in electrical field service.

Key Features

AR overlay showing recommended cable path and pull points
Database of cable stiffness and bend radius for common large conductors
Step-by-step guide for using cable pulling tools and lubricants
Report generation for completed routing to share with team

Target Users: Electrical field technicians and electricians who frequently pull large conductors over long distances in commercial or industrial installations

Revenue Model: SaaS subscription with monthly or annual plans for individual technicians and enterprise plans for electrical contracting companies

CrawlPro Tool Belt

An electrician working in confined spaces on submarines needs to carry tools but cannot fully unroll his tool pouch due to space constraints.

Electrical, or other field service3MediumField Technician

Electricians fail to distinguish between point screws and self-drillers, using self-drillers on light gauge studs when point screws would be more appropriate.
