HONTA's Intelligent Production Cells: How Data-Driven Rigid Frame Stranders are Unlocking Unprecedented Cable Manufacturing Efficiency

Kunshan, China, December 2025 — In an industry where speed and precision have long been the primary metrics, a new paradigm is emerging: intelligent interconnectivity. Leading this shift is HONTA, whose latest generation of rigid frame stranding machine systems, equipped with integrated motorised pay off units, is redefining cable production from a series of isolated tasks into a cohesive, data-optimized workflow. This evolution from standalone High Speed bunching/stranding machine to intelligent production cells marks a significant leap towards the fully realized smart factory.

The Intelligence Embedded in HONTA's High-Speed Stranding Solutions

While the raw performance of HONTA's High Speed bunching/stranding machine remains industry-leading, the true innovation lies in its embedded IoT capabilities. Each motorised pay off unit acts as a sensor node, continuously collecting data. This intelligence enables:

• Predictive Maintenance: The system analyzes vibration and load data to forecast maintenance needs for critical components, preventing unplanned downtime.
• Dynamic Process Optimization: Real-time feedback allows the rigid frame stranding machine to adjust parameters automatically, compensating for variations in input wire from preceding processes like electroplating equipment.
• Enhanced Traceability: Every meter of cable produced can be linked to specific machine settings and input material batches, a crucial feature for quality assurance in automotive or aerospace applications.

HONTA's advanced Multi-wire Pay off machines are integral components of its intelligent stranding cells, providing precise, data-rich wire feeding.

Seamless Integration with Upstream Coating and Plating Processes

The value of an intelligent stranding cell multiplies when integrated with HONTA's upstream equipment. The company's comprehensive portfolio ensures seamless data flow across the production chain:

HONTA's Wire Electrolytic Plating Lines, such as the high speed wire electrolytic plating line, provide the critical coated conductor input for intelligent downstream processing.

Certified Quality: The Foundation for Smart Manufacturing

HONTA's drive towards intelligent manufacturing is built upon a rock-solid foundation of quality and international standards. The company's certifications, including ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management, ensure that its smart electro plating machine and High Speed bunching/stranding machine solutions are not only innovative but also reliable and sustainably produced. The UDEM International Certification further validates the performance and safety of its equipment for global markets.

Global Reach with Local Expertise

Founded in 2006 and with a U.S. production base (HONTA INC.) established in 2017, HONTA combines Chinese manufacturing scale with global service proximity. This structure allows the company to deploy and support its intelligent rigid frame stranding machine systems and complete wire electrolytic plating line solutions worldwide, ensuring clients can fully leverage the benefits of data-driven production.
