All Electric Society – vision of the future of connectivity
Mar 06.03.2024, XNUMX | Harting gives on the Hannover Messe Preview an outlook on the Hannover Messe and draws a picture of the future of an “All Electric Society”. The technology group is following this year's main theme of the Hannover Messe, “Energizing a Sustainable Industry”.
With this picture of the future All Electric Society The focus is on topics such as sustainability and energy efficiency. The All Electric Society describes a world in which energy needs are met by electricity. The energy required for this is obtained from renewable resources.
It plays for the All Electric Society Coupling of sectors each other and their networking play a special role. These sectors include industry, energy, mobility and infrastructure. All areas must be linked together so that energy and Communication can flow within and across.
All Electric Society pluggable wiring
The motto We wire the 'All Electric Society' - pluggable focuses on the associated need for cabling solutions as “hardware”. The technology group provides this cablingsolutions ready. They range from standardized “plug-and-play” cables to complex, individual assemblies and distribution boxes in applications such as the distribution of Hydrogen, the Railway system and in industrial networks.
Sector coupling in the All Electric Society can only be achieved with high-performance networks on Ethernet-Base. For a successful energy transition, they bring growing data streams from Digital Twin and Co. safely to their destination. Standard Ethernet protocols play a key role in the global energy transition. Reliable connectivity and active participation in standardization for uniform standards are the manufacturer's contributions.
Reliable connection technology for energy storage systems
Harting also supplies reliable connection technology for energy storage systems. Because sustainable energy sources such as wind and sun are not available at all times. That's why the possibilities also play a role energy storage a big role for the All Electric Society.
“Digitalization is largely responsible for the success of the electrification of our world. Our connection technology enables the associated networking of all areas,” says the CEO happily Philip Harting about the company's contribution to a CO2 neutral future.

Harting Experts Camp announces trends for the future
Connectivity of the future - what does it mean?
23.09.2020 | Dr.-Ing. Kurt D. Bettenhausen, Board Member New Technologies and Development at Harting, presented at the beginning of February in Harting Experts Camp the connectivity of the future: “We deal with the three global megatrends of society such as the need for sustainable business, or sustainability for short, demographic change and globalization or the counter-trend to deglobalization.
From these topics and the closely related challenges, technological Megatrends such as modularization, autonomy and digital twin. But all of this only works if we have the connectivity of the future as the connecting element of the future. "
The technological megatrend includes key topics such as direct voltage supply in industry, electromobility and new ecosystems in the field of industrial communication such as that SPE (Single Pair Ethernet). “We at Harting group these three topics under the heading Connectivity + together ", emphasized Dr. Bettenhausen.
But the charging cable for an electric car, for example, is only the visible part of these new technologies. And also behind the Harting core elements Data | Signals | energy whole new infrastructures and ecosystems would emerge. "There are whole system changes behind this and a lot of partners play a role here," says Dr. Bettenhausen.
For example, many partners have to help with the structural change in production facilities due to the introduction of the SPE in order to be able to raise the system environment to a new level. Or when it comes to direct current / direct voltage supply, it is not just about generation, distribution and consumption but also about the intelligent networking of everyone. To this end, Harting relies on cooperation, collaboration and co-engineering with partners in network networks. The latest example of this is the Cooperation with MIT.
Connectivity plus from the Harting Experts Camp
In May 2020, the Harting Technology Group launched the Harting Experts Camp, which is now firmly established. The powerful Dialogue platform is used for communication with customers. The diverse range of product presentations, webinars, expert talks and much more are bundled here. Below you will find examples of the current technology issues for the connectivity of the future.
Ethernet in industrial automation
The Ethernet has become the most important communication standard in the industry Automation developed. In the meantime, IP-based networks are also conquering the last areas of the field level with space-saving infrastructure, increasing transmission rates and new physical layers such as the SPE.
"With Connectivity + we are driving the development of innovative solutions for our customers, setting industry-wide standards in active committee work and bringing new technologies to market maturity in strong collaborations," describes Ralph Klein, Managing Director Harting Electronics, the connectivity activities.
Edge computing software efficiently increases productivity
The Industrial Ethernet trends 2021 gives an insight into the latest developments for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. Exciting talk formats, tech deep dive sessions and top-class guests await the participants here in the coming months.
Another series of webinars provides participants with the latest modular solutions for the PCB connectivity familiar. Live configurations of specific solutions and everything you need to know about PCB connectivity will be available in the next few weeks at the Harting Experts Camp.
High speed data transmission for the rail industry
When it comes to connectivity, high-speed data transmission, weight reduction and CO count2 Emissions reduction is also one of the most important trends in the rail industry. There is also currently in the energy distribution a very high dynamic. Existing requirements change here and new ones are added.
At the same time, the power density increases and the systems have to become more efficient. High currents and voltages must be transmitted safely. Harting relies on this System conceptsthat cover these needs. As part of the webinar series railway technology, Harting presents system concepts for the most important trends in the railway industry in the coming weeks.
Rapid energy storage development
The Energy storage market has developed rapidly in recent years. The overall development has received an additional boost from the global discussion about the ecological footprint. Renewable energies can be used sustainably through energy storage systems. They enable the time-delayed, demand-oriented use of the electricity generated.
Based on battery modules plug connections accelerate the construction and operation of energy storage devices based on battery modules. "Together with partners, Harting has developed various solutions that are successfully established on the market and make a significant contribution to sustainability," said Norbert Gemmeke, Managing Director Harting Electric. Here z. B. the connector concept Han S an optimal solution for the front wiring of energy storage systems.
Direct current saves energy costs
Renewable energies and Electromobility belong together. Large areas of renewable energies and storage technology are shaped by direct current (DC). In conjunction with measures for Energy recovery the increase in renewables leads to an overall decrease in energy consumption from the alternating current (AC) network. If companies use DC generation, they save energy costs and contribute to meeting the CO2-Emissions requirements at.
Energy storage systems can also reduce power consumption peaks and thus costs. In regions where the power grids fail more frequently, failures can be bridged with the DC infrastructure with energy storage. That is why Harting is participating in the Joint project DC industry. 40 industrial partners are involved. The company deals with overall design, energy management and protective measures. Specific topics are DC connectivity, selectivity, insulation monitoring and the aging behavior of insulation materials. From the work in the joint project, central requirements for future interfaces can be derived.
Interfaces for electromobility
The solutions in the area of Han connectors are also largely derived from the above-mentioned megatrends. Sustainable use is the basis for resource-saving electromobility Renewable energies. This can only be achieved with energy storage systems (ESS), because these enable a time-delayed, demand-oriented use of the electricity generated.
Battery modules from Harting can be found in numerous applications such as electric scooters, driverless transport vehicles or electric buses. Harting offers for the blind stuck with the Han-Modular Androck frame a proven solution in the rear area of the energy storage racks.
The new Han S for the front wiring of energy storage systems fulfills all technical requirements and the standard UL 4128 for stationary energy storage systems. The Han S thus meets the highest standards required on the market. Both plug connections can be supplied pre-assembled with the cables to meet customer requirements.
High-quality product data accelerate the development process
Targeted data usage and the associated processes generate the Design-in high efficiency gains. Harting therefore links its products with information packages that support its users. With the provision of Cadenas Multi CAD, the company covers over 95% of the CAD systems market.

150 native and high-quality data formats are available for the manufacturer's products - as a single part or connector configuration. ECAD data such as from Zuken E3 and Eplan are also available at the push of a button. The generation of component data by the user is no longer necessary and saves him time.
Advanced Ethernet modularization and miniaturization
That too Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is driving the change in industrial production. At the field level of factory automation, digital systems are rapidly replacing analog systems. Data is being generated in ever larger quantities and at higher frequencies. But these are of little use if they don't bring the right infrastructure to their destination. The demands of users are: Connectors in infrastructure and devices are shrinking, while at the same time they have to become more powerful.
All these challenges need new ways: These requirements in the context of IIoT must be recognized early and suitable solutions derived. Harting introduced the Ethernet connectivity struck. This has resulted in new connectors that set new standards on the PCB and in device connectivity.
Partner engineering more important than ever
All Core competencies Harting Customized Solutions is the partnership development of solutions in the most diverse areas of industry - from the integration in power supply units for decentralized drive technology to the design, manufacture and testing of e.g. B. the cabling of car crossings in the rail industry.
“Common Engineering brings together the strengths of all partners. “In this way, together we create efficient, sustainable and future-proof solutions,” emphasized Christian Schumacher, Managing Director of Harting Customized Solutions.
In autumn 2020, Harting will address this issue with the strong partnership in the SPE Industrial Partner Network. The aim is to have a consistent SPE ecosystem to create and develop completely new solutions for PCB applications.
