One of the most significant challenges in production technology today is the question: how do I meet the "unusual" wishes of end users?

When embarking on their digitalization / IIoT (industrial internet of things) journey, machine and plant manufacturers are often unsure how to approach things – which steps come first, which can wait and which may be entirely superfluous. This article sums up the current experiences of mechanical engineering customers of the HARTING Technology Group and shows how this important but also tremendously multifaceted topic can be mastered.

There is a consensus among manufacturers, operators, and service providers in the mechanical engineering industry that there is no way around the ever-increasing digitalisation of production systems in the long term. At the same time, however, statements such as the following from T-Systems often cause uncertainty among OEMs in the mechanical engineering industry.

Alpha Centauri Solar Racing, also known as aCentauri Solar Racing, is an innovation project initiated by students at ETH Zurich.

The term “smart grid” is no longer unfamiliar and, in short, refers to a digitally based electricity network that is designed to function reliably and as efficiently as possible to ensure security of supply for end consumers.

Swissloop is a student initiative dedicated to the development and research of Hyperloop technology.

The All Electric Society faces the challenge of ensuring a reliable and efficient energy supply based on renewable sources.
