HARTING presented numerous innovative solutions and products at the digital press conference.
November 24, 2021-Not in Nuremberg, but still living and close to the customer: Despite the cancellation of SPS, HARTING provides the entire plan for the customer experience at the exhibition: digital customer appointments with experts for technical groups, interviews and webinars , And updated daily. Whether real-time or on-demand: the technology group provides information about all its new connectivity solutions for industrial transformation in virtual format: all for Ethernet, all for PCB, all for energy, and for New connectivity solutions for automation, electrification and decarbonization. Traditionally, Philip Harting, CEO of the Technology Group, reviewed the past business year at the beginning of the press conference. At HARTING, that year Ended on September 30: "Despite unfavorable conditions, we have achieved outstanding results. After a slight increase in 2019/20, we have now achieved significant double-digit growth. Almost all industries, markets, and Regions have achieved growth." The company is benefiting from its broad positioning and strong industrial transformation connectivity solutions. Obviously, the COVID-19 pandemic provides additional impetus for digitalization. “Last year, it was particularly shown to us that this is the right way for us to plan our future course. After all, the future poses a lot of challenges for us,” said Philip Harting, chairman of the board of directors, at the digital press conference. Supply bottlenecks due to material shortages and fragile supply chains are current challenges and will continue to be highly relevant in the future. Rising energy prices, the huge effort required for the energy transition, and the expected high inflation rate are factors that technology groups and other industries are concerned about, and an answer is urgently needed. In the HARTING Technology Group, the way to respond to current challenges while actively responding to social and technological megatrends is called "connection".
"We believe that Connectivity is in a consistent trinity: the social megatrends of sustainability, (de)globalization and demographic changes are the drivers of the megatrends of modularity, autonomy and digital twin technology. They are the guardrail of our Connectivity," as Dr. Kurt said that Bettenhausen, a member of the New Technology and Development Board of Directors, explained this concept. "Based on these social and technological megatrends, we are developing products and solutions that always focus on customer interests. In short, we are shaping future connectivity by providing customers with innovative value-added solutions." All for Ralf Klein, managing director of Ethernet HARTING Electronics, emphasized the following: "We continue to develop our Ethernet products and enable our partners and customers to use our products to build powerful industrial networks. By combining IP-based communications and smart sensors Technology, we can redefine the automation pyramid from sensor to cloud." The Ethernet protocol has become the most important communication standard for industrial automation. Increasing transmission rates and miniaturization trends require new methods for data infrastructure. The new space-saving physical layer single-pair Ethernet (SPE) has now conquered the final field of the field level. A list of HARTING's related connection solutions:
All the technological megatrends for PCB modularity and flexibility are more important than ever in equipment development. In addition, development time is getting shorter and shorter, and prototyping is becoming more and more important. A list of HARTING's related connection solutions:
Everything for energy "Improving energy efficiency is closely related to all industrial sectors-the trend of saving resources is also the driving force of technology here," said Norbert Gemmeke, managing director of HARTING Electric, in this context. Safe and trouble-free connection The modular battery storage unit technology used to form an energy storage system (ESS) is listed as a key topic in the "All for Energy" field. Christian Schumacher, Managing Director of HARTING Custom Solutions, emphasizes the following: "Cable assemblies are the most important thing. In terms of efficient plug-and-play in assembly, it all ends here. Prefabrication and customization, they shorten the installation time, Minimizes on-site wiring work while providing maximum safety.” The related HARTING connection solutions are clear at a glance:
Miniaturization and modularization The trend of miniaturization and modularization continues to promote the technological development of the industry, and new solutions and products are constantly needed. In addition to the already mentioned Ethernet and PCB solutions (har-modular, ix Industrial and har-flex), HARTING is now also presenting solutions in the field of "heavy-duty" industrial connectors.

HARTING also continues to expand its services and tools around digital engineering. The Technology Group’s "Competence Center Digital Transformation" was established specifically for this purpose. Its mission is to provide users with a wide range of digital services so that they can design product development more effectively. HARTING's related services at a glance:
