Supply chains in the tension zone between resilience and competitiveness

For decades, supply chains have become increasingly internationalised, especially in the electrical and digital industries – and also in SMEs. The manufacturers of electrotechnical capital goods initially followed the globalisation of their large-scale customers to eventually become "global players" themselves.

Sustainably close to the customer

With “Connectivity+”, i.e. connectivity as a unifying theme deriving from social and technological trends, the HARTING Technology Group has come up with the answer to the challenges of the future.

Close to customers!

Our customers’ efficient and optimised systems require more and more specific components. With the Global Business Unit HARTING Customised Solutions (HCS), the HARTING Technology Group is responding to this growing demand with individual solutions.

Communication and transparency for cooperation at eye level

The procurement of essential raw materials and supplies is indispensable for ensuring a smooth production set-up. The HARTING Technology Group has a clear advantage here: as one of the world market leaders in the field of industrial connectivity, the company commands an extensive production network.

Our goal is achieving modern, resource-saving production

It is essential that we design so as to conserve resources and produce with as little waste as possible. Our strategy underlines this objective. The goals are: to harness energy-efficient systems, to achieve the lowest possible rejects and scrap rates, while relying on the use of energy from renewable sources.

Working together to tackle climate protection and supply security

Paving the way to a climate-neutral world is a task of paramount importance for our society in the 21st century. Despite the current weather events, which are strongly influenced by climate change, such as the floods in Pakistan or the extremely dry and hot summer in Central Europe, the main topic of conversation is currently the high energy prices and gas bottlenecks caused by the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine.

Hydrogen and electricity from wind and sun are partners in the energy transition

What will mobility look like in the future, how will products be produced and what are the prerequisites for the functioning of this new hydrogen economy including "All Electric"?

Living sustainability at all HARTING locations

According to the corporate philosophy of the HARTING Technology Group, “ecological responsibility is a fundamental component of our actions”.

We cannot rely on normal evolution to achieve our goals

Saving resources in data cabling

Single Pair Ethernet as an interesting alternative to help prevent the necessary additional cabling from degenerating into an endless glutton in terms of the consumption of resources and raw materials.

Power Usage Efficiency

In an era of climate change and a critical shortage of raw materials – a factor that is also being aggravated by the geopolitical situation – new solutions must be found.

A new era in agribusiness

Robots deployed at field level

Machines that operate autonomously alleviate labour shortages and they work extremely precisely and tirelessly – regardless of the time of day or weather conditions.

CCS Inlet Type 2

The mobility market is being consistently driven forward by innovations and HARTING is also contributing to these developments with its "Automotive" activities - with future technologies for the rapidly growing segment of e-mobility charging infrastructure systems.

GrowUnit: Indoor greenhouse for microgreens

The project name “GrowUnit” stands for an indoor greenhouse for microgreens, which is intended to be placed in the fruit and vegetable section of supermarkets or in the catering business.

DC networks in industry

Given current technological and societal trends, the use of DC grids offers potential for energy-efficient and resilient industrial environments. HARTING is supporting these developments by providing appropriate solutions.

Wallbox charging

HARTING regards the consistent expansion of the charging infrastructure as a crucial factor for the success of electromobility: rapid and smooth, glitch-free charging, as well as a dense network of charging points, are considered as representing the basic prerequisites for the successful mobility transition.

The "Swissloop" project

"Swissloop is a student project at ETH Zurich, consisting of about 30 Bachelor and Master students from the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering, as well as some other faculties. The aim of the project: to explore and advance Hyperloop technology.

Han® S 120: Flexible battery storage connectors for pinpoint precision green power feed-in

Han® S is the name of the front mounting solution from HARTING for transmitting high currents in energy storage systems. The connectors are used for the series or parallel connection of battery storage modules or connect storage and management module.
