Connectivity Solutions for Industrial Transformation

The HARTING Technology Group will be exhibiting at HANNOVER MESSE 2022 and providing initial insights into the products and solutions to be presented in the course of the digital HANNOVER MESSE Preview.

“Digitisation and sustainability are not only the major buzzwords of this year’s fair but are also two of the guiding principles of the way we think and act,” as Christopher Ukatz, Managing Director of HARTING Deutschland GmbH, stated during the presentation at the digital HANNOVER MESSE preview. The technology group summarises this concept under the term of “Connectivity+”. This is all about factoring in societal megatrends: Sustainability, (de)globalisation and demographic change, as well as deriving the relevant technology: Modularisation, autonomy and digital twins. Under the umbrella term Connectivity+, products, solutions, services and applications are presented that are aligned with technological and social megatrends and thereby provide answers to the challenges of the future. The fact that this is not a theoretical construct makes the added value focus for customers all the more clearer.

“In the development of Connectivity+ the collaboration and co-creation with customers and partners represents a tremendously important consideration,” as Ukatz went on to outline. This is why a Communication and Innovation Center will feature at this year’s HARTING trade fair stand. The focus here is on joint brainstorming, dialoguing, and exchanging ideas on the connectivity of the future. Christopher Ukatz adds: “This is where the discussion on different technology approaches will take place. Customers can take the storyboard created by an industrial designer with them straight away. Our innovators look forward to meeting up with you!”

HARTING will also be bringing a range of products and solutions to Hanover in its familiar manner. First and foremost, a world novelty that will open up entirely new perspectives in the field of modularisation.

Topics that are more relevant than ever before, will be on the HARTING stand under the heading of “All for Energy”: Energy efficiency and decarbonisation are both strongly linked to Connectivity+ and this year’s orientation of the Hannover Messe. Control cabinet applications involving the Han® Eco and its targeted use as an interface in data centres, as well as transformer or converter applications are the driving forces in this area.

Another exhibit area is dedicated to eMobility topics and shows the complete range of charging infrastructure: From the charging station for home use to the rapid charging station. Also worth a look: the HARTING product portfolio that at work inside a charging station. From PCB connectors to current sensors and network components, HARTING provides solutions that reduce installation times, support modular concept design and elevate safety levels.

In the exhibition area of small connectors for the topics All for Ethernet, All for PCB and 3D MID, the focus will naturally be on Single Pair Ethernet, also a Connectivity+ solution that is both resource-saving and highly efficient at the same time: From sensors to the cloud with just two wires. SPE creates a seamless data infrastructure and unlocks previously hidden optimisation potential in factory automation.

The PushPull locks highlighted and the associated application examples also clearly demonstrate the added value of modern quick-action locks.

Christopher Ukatz wrapped up his presentation with an invitation to this year’s trade press conference of the HARTING Technology Group. On 26 April, the Espelkamp experts will inform about the latest products and corresponding applications in the course of a half-day, hybrid workshop. Representatives of the trade press can secure one of the coveted spots by way of the presseteam@HARTING.com e-mail address.

Stand visitors can make an appointment in advance at www.harting.com/hannover-messe.
