Many people only know it from stories: the workplace of mum, dad, uncle, sister or grandparents. At HARTING, family members now had the opportunity to gain a deeper insight into the work of their relatives. At three plants - two in Espelkamp and the plant in Rahden - the Technology Group invited employees and their families to an open day.

HARTING expands the UIC family with the UIC IT circular connector.

The Han® HPR VarioShell has a streamlined design that protects against environmental impacts such as dirt, ice or pressurised water. Moreover, the IP69 protection rating guarantees its safe outdoor use. New variants increase flexibility of use and open up new possibilities.

With the new Han® High Power Configurator, HARTING is now providing engineers also with a digital fast track to high-current and high-voltage interfaces used in energy applications.

Another reason to celebrate at the HARTING Technology Group: while CEO Philip Harting turned 50 a few days ago, senior partner Dietmar Harting is now celebrating his 85th birthday. Two milestones for two generations that have shaped the family business into a leading global player in connectivity technology.

A great reason to celebrate at the HARTING Technology Group: CEO Philip Harting turns 50. Together with his family and the Management Board, he is shaping the family-owned company into a leading global player in connection technology.

For many young people, starting their training is like jumping in at the deep end - everything changes, a new phase of life begins. This year, 26 career starters have decided to set sail at HARTING. In total, the Technology Group is currently supporting around 130 trainees and dual students starting their careers - in more than 25 professions. New this year: the practice-integrated ‘Software Engineering’ degree programme.

The HARTING Technology Group welcomes a new Managing Director and Corporate Regional Manager at its subsidiary HARTING Singapore Pte. Ltd.: Mabel Low is now responsible for the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), ANZ (Australia, New Zealand), China, India, Korea and Japan regions.

Meanwhile, decarbonization is in full swing. More and more areas are being electrified in line with the All Electric Society (AES) and sectors are being meaningfully linked. The synergies of sector coupling and the associated efficiency gains, however, are only one of the keys to achieving climate neutrality. Manufacturing companies are called on to critically examine the components of their products.

The vision of a society that meets its entire energy requirements by sourcing green electricity and distributing it in line with demand also poses new challenges for the suppliers of the necessary "hardware".

The consistent implementation of the AES determines that the energy is optimally connected, regulated and controlled. Data centre operators are also faced with the challenges of optimising space utilisation, while boosting availability and enhancing energy efficiency. HARTING is offering a harmonised portfolio to meet these demands.

Prof. Dr agr. Karl Wild: "Data-based decision-making, GPS guidance and the use of sensors in the fields are now standard on advanced farms. These technologies enable the precise monitoring and control of agricultural processes, from sowing to irrigation and harvesting, and help to promote the sustainability of agriculture."

The recycling of batteries, especially lithium-ion batteries, represents one of the most daunting challenges of the energy transition.

Increasing electrification in the production area is an important trend that has gained in significance in recent years. Electrification enables companies to make their production processes more efficient and environmentally friendly at the same time. The use of electric machines and systems can cut energy costs and reduce CO2 emissions.

For employees, attuning to the future vision of the All Electric Society means rethinking technology and social responsibility. Just what does this entail for the Human Resources department?

The HARTING Technology Group, a leading global provider of industrial connectivity, announced today that it is bundling supra-regional top management positions in Switzerland, which will further advance global steering and management.

From the northern reaches of Canada to the southern landscapes of Brazil, the Americas are forging ahead on the path toward an all-electric society. Each country, bringing its own initiatives and unique strengths to the table, is progressing the transition to sustainable energy sources and cleaner transportation systems.

The future is digital, climate-neutral and electric! Our mission statement is that of the All Electric Society (AES). Dr Daniel Nordsiek, Director Innovation Hub, spoke with Dr Lars Müller, Member of the Board of Rail Campus OWL e.V. and Head of Business Line Testing Services DB Systemtechnik GmbH and asked as to how the AES will be impacting the rail industry.

Electrification and networking are crucial for the future of industry in Germany. They offer both opportunities and challenges and are key strategies for achieving climate neutrality and ensuring global competitiveness.

As Vice President of the International Electrotechnical Commission, Vimal Mahendru also wants to drive the All Electric Society forward on the standardisation side. Different regional requirements are a challenge, but also lead to solutions that have a sustainable impact across regions.

Electrification Hub at Mälardalen University is a cooperation platform – or innovation accelerator as they call it themselves – that, together with industrial partners, is dedicated to electrification in terms of reducing emissions. The central electricity grids in the west have advantages, but there are also many obstacles. That is why the Electrification Hub is looking beyond the horizon.

At the end of April, the Hannover Messe will once again be welcoming leading international industrial companies. The exhibition is increasingly featuring as the starting point for sustainable visions of the future. This is evidenced by the motto, the partner country and the presence of the All Electric Society.

The necessity of (industrial) Ethernet networks for networking in the energy transition is of crucial significance. Only by consistently expanding data networks to each and every energy consumer will efficient and intelligent energy infrastructures be enabled. Ethernet, as a reliable and widely used technology for data transmission, plays a key role in integrating various energy sources and consumers into the power grid.

How can the energy transition succeed? Parts of industry and standardisation, including ZVEI, the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (VDE) and DKE, are advocating and campaigning for sector coupling in order to replace fossil fuels with renewable resources.
