Prysmian Telecom Cables & Systems Australia Pty Ltd has implemented new security measures
designed to safeguard cable drums and ensure their return after use. Cable drums, both steel and
timber, supplied by Prysmian are assets that remain the property of Prysmian at all times and
securing their return ensures that costs can be contained and helps conserve valuable resources.
The new asset identification system from DataDot Technology (Australia) Pty Ltd, whose
Australian clients include BMW, Subaru, Ford Performance Vehicles, Audi and Holden Special Vehicles
is being applied to all cable drums and cannot be seen by the naked eye. The drums are sprayed with
micro dots contained in a clear solution and many hundreds are effectively applied to each drum.
The unique micro dot code, which requires a UV light/scope to be seen, is registered on a national
database for access by law enforcement agencies providing irrefutable proof of ownership.
A national drum collection service has also been established which can be accessed by a toll
free telephone number. CEVA Logistics Australia, as Prysmian’s transport service partner, is the
only company authorized to collect empty cable drums. A suitable time for collection can be
arranged by contacting them on the toll free telephone number which can be found on the identifying
label (example above) applied to each drum.
To arrange for collection of empty cable drums, please call 1800 334 091
