Innovations in real-life applications

This year's Hanover Fair - the world's most important technology event after more than 60 years of constant development - is taking place under the motto of ‘greentelligence’. The fair’s claim to hosting sustainable developments is reflected in the product highlights of the HARTING Technology Group. In 2012 the Espelkamp-based family owned and managed company will focus strongly on solutions enabling customers to design more efficient production processes and thereby curb their resource consumption.

Philip Harting, Senior Vice President Connectivity & Networks at HARTING:The future starts now
“We want to shape the future with technologies for people – this is our vision. The future we are talking about and for which we are developing our solutions is not one starting after a few months, or even years. It’s one starting right now. It starts today! Consequently, our first priority is giving our customers the tools they need to create the future themselves. We at HARTING can now show how our innovations are utilized today in actual, real-life applications and what benefits they are actually generating for our customers. After all, the only effective way to demonstrate the advantage of a new product is to use it. Only then do we fully grasp the product as a genuine innovation.”

Andre Beneke, Director Product Management Installation at HARTING:
Han-Fast? Lock enhances the efficiency of production processes “We looked over the shoulders of our customers as they produce their devices – and are making a major contribution to boosting the efficiency of their production processes with our Han-Fast? Lock. After all, industrial connectors also need to be integrated into industrial devices. Han-Fast? Lock facilitates this integration and dispenses with additional process steps. The printed circuit boards (PCBs) feature plated-through drill holes which the contacts easily fit into when devices are assembled.”

Dimitrios Charisiadis, Director Product-/Project-/Process Management ICPN/RFID at HARTING:
You only need one network with HARTING smart Power Networks
“Thanks to HARTING smart Power Networks, energy-smart functions are relocated into the network infrastructure. The result? One network is all that is required - namely the Ethernet network. Our HARTING smart Power Unit enhances the Ethernet switch by adding energy-smart add-on functions. At our fair stand, we will demonstrate integration into a high-performance energy management system and the simple administration and configuration of the energy-smart functions of the smart Power Unit.”
