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
