Digital Work Instructions for Smart Factories
Industrial revolutions are momentous events. By most reckonings, there have been only three. The first was triggered in the 1700s by the commercial steam engine and the mechanical loom. The harnessing of electricity and mass production sparked the second, around the start of the 20th century. The computer set the third in motion after World War II.
It might seem too soon to proclaim that the fourth industrial revolution, spurred by interconnected digital technology, has begun. But Henning Kagermann, the head of the German National Academy of Science and Engineering (Acatech), did exactly that in 2011, when he used the term Industrie 4.0 to describe a proposed government-sponsored industrial initiative.
When you look closely at the rapid pace of digitization in industry today, the name doesn’t seem hyperbolic at all. It is a signal of sweeping change that is rapidly transforming many companies and may catch others by surprise.
YOUR SMART WAY TO MORE ADDED VALUE
Digitalisation is a social, economic and technical trend impacting on and including all business sectors. The importance and added value of internet-based services on the basis of intelligent networked data is constantly
on the increase. INDUSTRIAL DATA SPACE makes it simple for companies to use data as a basis for
new sustainable business models.
Presenting at the Lanner predictive simulation conference, 2016, Richard Evans from AECOM explores the trends and funding surrounding Industry 4.0, including 'vision', 'cyber-physical' and 'embedded systems' .

Visibility in Manufacturing: The Path to Industry 4.0Ubisense
Industry 4.0 is the next Industrial Revolution. It involves integrating data from many kinds of sensors to gain the necessary visibility to predict issues and self-diagnose as problems occur. To some manufacturers, the coming age of cyber-physical systems is the inevitable next step. For most, however, these concepts feel quite distant from today’s reality where many plants have yet to adopt the automation technologies of Industry 3.0, and are decades away from mass adoption of Industry 4.0.
While today Industry 4.0 is an aspiration, every company can benefit from greater visibility throughout the production process. This slide deck explores how the manufacturing plant is evolving from recording the past to controlling the present to predicting the future.
What You'll Learn From this Presentation:
-Where your company ranks among the four Industrial Revolutions
-How to get to the next stage
-How increased visibility can have a positive and resounding impact throughout the manufacturing process
-What it takes to embrace Industry 4.0

GET SET, 4.0:
Trends are becoming solutions -
HARTING Integrated Industry 4 You
3. 3
Dear customers and business partners,
American computer pioneer Alan Kay
once said “The best way to predict the
future is to invent it”. We at the HARTING
Technology Group have already em-
barked upon this path suggested by
Kay with great strides – but not bare-
foot or with our business shoes on. This
becomes apparent, for example, from
a glance at our yellow trade fair shoes
at our SPS IPC Drives stand: We’re get-
ting off to a sprint start into Integrated
Industry! For us, this means providing
solutions for the many theories, ideas
and models out there. Certainly, the ref-
erence architecture model RAMI 4.0 of
the Industrie 4.0 platform is important
since it describes what is required in the
world of Integrated Industry. Still, only
the solutions for technological trends
will make Industrie 4.0 a reality.
We’ve analysed these technological
trends and offer associated concrete
solutions. Here, “HARTING Integrated
Industry 4 You” is manifested in our
“HAII4YOU Factory”. In this function-
ing Industrie 4.0 production system, we
combine our expertise as suppliers of
components, applications and systems.
We’d like to team up with you at SPS IPC
Drives to discuss whether we’ve already
created benchmark solutions.
Creating things requires more than just
the knowledge that a tool is required.
Rather, the future can only begin to
take shape after good tools have been
made available to people. Consequent-
ly, we view our solutions as a tool, with
HARTING quality, and we see ourselves
as an enabler of Industrie 4.0 - shaping
the future with technologies for people.
Have fun reading!
Sprinting into
Integrated Industry
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it”.
(Alan Kay, US-American computer pioneer)
Yours sincerely,

In addition to this, software has be-
come an essential component of the
functionality of machines and systems
- both in the engineering process and
as embedded software in machines,
systems and facilities themselves. IT,
in the form of industrial PCs, has a
long history of controlling facilities -
Ethernet-based services transmit data
within the application inside the shop
floor and to the top floor. As a result, this
leads to more cost-effective products,
increased productivity and enhanced
production flexibility.
Still, despite wide-ranging synergies
in the area of hardware and communi-
cations, industry still relies on its own
automation standards. For example, the
industrial production process places
tough demands on the deterministic re-
al-time behavior of systems, something
which cannot be met by traditional
IT. At the same time, different safety
requirements are implemented in order
to protect man and machine as well as
the actual production know-how.
Consequently, a synergy between au-
tomation and information technology
can only offer potential opportuni-
ties if it also encompasses the entire
value chain. Integrated Industry,
Industrie 4.0 and the Internet of
Wahlster. Technological drivers are the
Internet of Things, intelligent sensor
networks and cyber-physical systems.
Figure 1 presents possible scenarios.
“Disruptive” or “evolutionary” does
not mean a disruptive balancing act
if the resolution mechanisms of both
scenarios point in one direction. Since
all solutions involve changes, techno-
logical changes should be coupled with
solutions regardless of their disruptive
or evolutionary character. For HARTING,
in analysing these trends it was
crucial to see that their relevance is
confirmed in current projects. Here,
it has come to light that individual
scenarios can be viewed as migration
levels of Integrated Industry, de-
pending on the extent to which these
trends are implemented.
Things demonstrate the potential of
the convergence of automation and
information technology. This is based
on continuous value-creation networks
over the entire life cycle of applications.
– permitting new services to establish
themselves which are supported in
particular via integrated software func-
tions of the automation systems. They
make interacting with complex systems
simpler and more transparent for the op-
erator while adapting production more
easily to changing prevailing supply
chain conditions and market conditions.
Yet - how does the path lead from
established automation technology to
Integrated Industry? “Industrie 4.0 is a
conceptual revolution as a disruption of
production logistics, since the resulting
product controls its own production,”
explained Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Wahlster,
technical-scientific director of the Ger-
man Research Center for Artificial In-
telligence, speaking at Verpackungstage
2014, the packaging trade fair held in
Aschaffenburg. This central paradigm
shift gradually changes the foundations
of production, and the classical pro-
duction hierarchy gradually dissolves.
“However, the implementation of this
is carried out incrementally via migra-
tion solutions, meaning that the revolu-
tion takes place as an evolution,” adds
» Uwe Gräff, Managing Director HARTING Electric and HARTING Electronis, HARTING Technology Group, Uwe.Graeff@HARTING.com
The advent of IT has given the automation of manufacturing an enormous performance boost. Without this “ITisation”,
efficient production of quality complex products would be very difficult to achieve. HARTING is now analysing trends
and identifying their relevance to current projects and applications.

TREND TOPICS AND ISSUES IN INTEGRATED INDUSTRY
Trend 1 concerns the modularisation of machines and
systems. It provides a high degree of flexibility for seamless
plug produce. Important factors here are flexible, durable IT
interfaces and module-neutral infrastructure solutions for sup-
plying energy, as well as system-neutral networking. Systems
engineering can connect smart objects on the machine side
via hardware and software. HARTING developed its infrastruc-
ture box on this basis, with the box combining electrical and
digital interfaces via individually assembled cables and mod-
ular connectors.
Trend 2 is miniaturisation. Increasingly functions are bundled
in smart devices, which significantly reduces installation
space in the switch cabinet. Smaller devices have smaller
boards and smaller PCB connectors. Hybrid connectors reduce
space requirements for interfaces and cut installation effort
because they transmit power and data simultaneously.
Trend 3 is the ever more individualised manufacturing of
customised products. This applies not only to the finished
products, but also for automation equipment and its installation
technology.
Trend 4 designates identification as a key to transparency
in production and logistics processes. Machines and smart
objects communicate directly with the product to be produced
or the goods to be transported. Here, machine modules and
production processes must be fully mapped in IT and uniquely
identified. RFID and Auto-ID solutions that are embedded

directly into the interfaces offer the required real-time trans-
parency.
In Trend 5, digitalisation is a prerequisite for new value-added
networks and a new service orientation. Integrated analysis
functions such as Smart Power Network record and monitor
the energy data of machines and plants, enabling new service
and maintenance concepts.
Trend 6 - integration – is of particular importance in Integrated
Industry at various levels. With functional integration at the
level of smart devices and cyber-physical systems, so-called
self-X features such as self-recognition, self-diagnosis and
self-regulation are coupled with intelligent sensors. During the
integration of services as in asset and energy management,
predictive maintenance, etc., each automation object makes its
service objective available. This is supported by infrastructure
boxes. In the area of system integration, data streams are
analysed using algorithms for state detection and predictions
are made regarding potential production, while automation
targets are also optimised.
As a result, all of the above trends in Integrated Industry leads
to more cost-effective products, increased productivity, higher
quality and more production flexibility.

Industrie 4.0 –
from the vision to reality
The topic of Industrie 4.0 has
arrived at most companies. What is
already becoming apparent is that
digitisation will change the manu
facturing industry similar to the way
in which it changed the music and film
industry in recent years. This is why
two-thirds of all companies plan to
invest in Industrie 4.0 projects in the
next two years, according to a survey of
SAP customers.
The concept of cyber physical systems,
i.e. the connection of the real with the
virtual world via sensors and actuators,
is no longer the realm of science fiction.
Numerous small projects at larger com
panies are demonstrating that the re
quired technology is already in place!
Nevertheless, many questions remain:
• How does one drive Industrie 4.0 in-
novation forward within the company?
How can Industrie 4.0 pilot projects be revved up and then rolled out as efficiently
as possible within a company? Starter packs make it possible.

FROM SENSOR TO THE CLOUD AN INTEGRATED INDUSTRIE 4.0 STARTER PACK
11. 11
Starter pack
• How does a successful pilot turn into
a process that results in added value?
• How can Industrie 4.0 projects be in-
dustrialised?
• How can a successful pilot project be
rolled out for all of a company’s ma-
chinery?
• How can innovations be standardised
on a common technological basis?
• How can the success of Industrie 4.0
projects be measured?
In conjunction with HARTING and
other partners, SAP has developed an
Industrie 4.0 starter pack that can assist
in answering these questions.
For maximum practicality, the starter
pack focuses on a process that is high
on the agenda at many companies:
“Predictive Maintenance”. The starter
kit consists of two optional variants.
Option 1 enables the simple integra-
tion of a machine for which only one
energy meter is connected to the main
power line. By intelligently analysing
the power consumption, each individual
energy consumer can be identified, for
instance each axis of a 5-axis milling
machine. This permits a detailed status
analysis of the machine to be performed.
Option 2 uses sensors on the machine
to perform vibration analysis, and thus a
type of “predictive health” process.
With regard to the sensor system, the
process for both options is uniform. Sen-
sors are connected directly to a HARTING
IIC MICA, the world's first rugged,
industrial and railway grade, IP67
certified Micro PC with a modular open
source development stack. Preprocessing
and data compression takes place in the
Micro PC.
However, the MICA offers a second
feature. By default, it can communicate
with SAP’s IoT platform, which means
that data flow to SAP’s PdMS (Predictive
Maintenance and Service) solution in
standardised form. The starter pack
is available for a fixed price that in-
cludes three months use of the SAP
platform, including integration, in order
to perform monitoring, create analyses
and to complete the first predictions. A
later rollout can therefore be based on a
robust system architecture that permits
any number of additional processes to
be performed with deep SAP backend
integration. Here, the integration of
forecasts into downstream maintenance
processes might be conceivable, for
example.

In its own Smart Factory, HARTING demonstrates solutions for Integrated Industry. Drawing on special products,
these solutions support associated trends such as modularisation, miniaturisation and digitisation. Identification

ture standardised interfaces based
on Han-Modular®
. Similar modularity
also exists for the manufacturing cells
themselves, which can be arranged
and exchanged in any order. An infra
structure box supplies all the necessary
power and data cables and compressed
air.
As a result, the HAII4YOU application
demonstrates the HARTING Technology
Group’s Integrated Industry expertise at
all levels - from the product through to
complete solutions.
Integrated Industry combines auto
mation and information technology
to enable new business models, new
products and services or increased
reliability and productivity. HARTING
has implemented an extensive array
of solutions in its own Smart Factory,
dubbed “HARTING Integrated Industry 4
You” (HAII4YOU).
Complete vertical integration - from the
customer to the flexible manufacture of
a modular plug connector - demonstrates
how business processes could change
in the future. First, a Han-Modular®
connector is configured and ordered
in an online store, followed by further
processing in SAP and fully automated
manufacture. The process also permits
the customer to apply its own labelling,
e.g. a part number.
Integration in SAP with the
packages ERP, ME and MII was per-
formed by HARTING specialists. The
process involves manufacturing the
Han-Modular®
connector in three pro-
duction cells of the HAII4YOU Factory.
The cells have their own control sys-
tems and are guided by special flow
diagrams that are assigned to the re-
spective product as the product memory.
In the first cell, four different-sized
Han-Modular®
hinged frames are
extracted. In cell number two, assembly
of the module inserts takes place, while
labelling is performed in the third cell. A
laser applies both the customised label-
ling as well as a QR code with which the
product configuration can be displayed.
Items are transported between the cells
by a novel conveyor track. Intelligent
stop points in the form of cyber physi-
cal systems (CPS) configure themselves
and assume control over the product
flow. Identification of the product with-
in a manufacturing cell takes place via
HARTING RFID technology and the new
HARTING IIC MICA modular integration
platform.

Modularisation
HARTING’s Han-Modular®
has become the market standard
for modular industrial connectors. Basically, the system
consists of hinged frames of various sizes which the custom-
er can load with different connector modules in completely
customised fashion in order to subsequently install them into
the appropriate housing. Available modules handle data and
signal transmission, power connection, pneumatic integration
and the connection of fibre optic cable. The variety of connector
modules extends to more than 50 different variants, i.e.
Han-Modular®
enables virtually any electrical connection.
Its variant capability and flexibility virtually predestines
the Han-Modular®
for scenarios in Integrated Industry
applications, and consequently in the HAII4YOU Factory as
well. Connecting various machine modules requires power,
data and signals. The connection of pneumatic lines is also
common. Given the ease of use and the additional time savings
when reconfiguring a machine, it makes sense to place all of
the connections mentioned in a single connector. What this
achieves is that a manufacturing module can be connected to
a machine with a single plug-in action, meaning that just one
single interface can supply a module or unit – saving effort,
money and time.
Machinery and plants in Integrated Industry are highly
flexible and as a result are frequently reconfigured. This
in turn leads to repeated use of connectors (insertion and
removal). The Han-Modular®
is optimally equipped for this
as well - in the HMC (High Mating Cycles) version, which is
designed for up to 10,000 mating cycles.
Highlighting the perfect synergy of Han-Modular®
and
Integrated Industry, the connectors can not only be used in
the HAII4YOU Factory, they can also be assembled there!

Miniaturisation
Cyber physical systems like the intelligent stop point
must meet the special requirements of Industrie 4.0.
They need to be compact, robust, modular, and quick and
easy to use. The required connectors must also meet this
challenge. HARTING already offers its customers all neces-
sary connection components for cyber physical systems. The
systems are installed in decentralised manner and must be
connected to the three lifelines of power, signal and data.
This requires scalable solutions for housing connections and
internal wiring, depending on the size of the CPS. Fully in the
spirit of modularity, HARTING provides robust PushPull con-
nector solutions with M12, RJ45, USB, power and numerous
other plug faces. These solutions create the necessary
flexibility for every application of the intelligent stop point.
The connector’s role thereby transforms itself from that of a
pure installation object to acting as an application-central
component.
In order to keep the stop as small and space-efficient as
possible, connectors from the har-flex®
/har-flexicon®
families
are used inside the housing. These, in combination with the
device connections, currently make the unlimited scalability
of distributed computing systems possible, and are thus in line
with the trend towards miniaturisation.
» Kilian Schmale, Industry Segment Manager, HARTING Technology Group, Kilian.Schmale@HARTING.com
Intelligent stop points in the HAII4YOU Factory ensure that workpieces arrive precisely where they are needed by
controlling their appropriate start and stop. They represent CPS within the meaning of Industrie 4.0 and permit the
autonomous operation of product transfer systems. This distributed computing power can only be implemented in
modularised, smaller form and networked by using innovative HARTING connectors for our customers.

Successful Plug Produce requires
powerful infrastructure that supplies
automation modules with data,
signals and power. This infrastructure
should concomitantly assume essential
management functions and guarantee
high-availability operation with
maximum flexibility and minimum
effort.
HARTING has reduced the size of its
infrastructure box featured at the
Hannover Messe 2014 trade fair by
85%, thereby continuing down the
path of miniaturisation for the smart
T-distributor with powerful embedded
electronics.
The characteristic of a HAII4YOU
Factory is its modularised structure,
which permits machine modules to be
flexibly combined to fit the production
process. The connection of the machine
modules to the infrastructure is
performed in standardised fashion us-
ing Han-Modular®
connectors from the
new Han®
HMC series, which permit in
excess of 10,000 mating cycles.
The universal applicability of the
infrastructure box is ensured by
standardised, manufacturer-neutral
interfaces and integrated electron-
ic switching, warning and protection
functions. In particular, the min/
max protector supports the condition
monitoring of machines by monitoring
voltage, current or power. By way of
example, variations in electrical values
permit the early identification of vulner-
abilities before they lead to failures. An
integrated web interface permits outputs
to be switched on or off and the OPC-UA
server data to be retrieved.
The infrastructure box can be
administered and managed both via
integrated on-site visualisation, as well
as over a network. The miniaturisation
and integration of the new infra
structure box means that HARTING has
created the key preconditions for rapid
installation at minimum cost. This is
enabled by highly integrated hardware
and powerful software.
It is precisely this combination that
has already proven itself in HAII4YOU
Factories and in the smartfactoryKL

Identification
The unique identification and automated recognition of objects constitutes one of the basic
prerequisites for executing processes in Integrated Industry. The processes in the HAII4YOU
Factory are also optimized with the help of the latest UHF RFID technology.*
RFID enables
Integrated Industry processes
» Olaf Wilmsmeier, Product Manager Software, HARTING Technology Group, Olaf.Wilmsmeier@HARTING.com
*UHF RFID is a wireless identification technology
which does not require direct visual contact with the
transponder (i.e., an object). Here, communication
is initiated by an RFID read-write unit (RFID reader).
Besides unique identification, additional information
on process runtime can be written/queried on the
transponder, and thus directly and individually on each
object.
HARTING sensor transponders also make it possible
to provide real-time information on object states and
their environment. This means that objects acquire
a type of memory and autonomously influence or
monitor processes.
In concrete terms, this means that the individual product
conveyors which transport the to-be-manufactured products
through the factory are equipped with a robust HARTING RFID
UHF transponder. This transponder comprises a unique ID
(identifier).
At each processing station within the HAII4YOU Factory, this
ID is detected with the aid of the new RFID Reader Ha-VIS
RF-R300. The Ha-VIS RF-R300 is the latest product in the
HARTING RFID reader portfolio. Based on the new HARTING
IIC MICA, this 2 Port Reader is specially designed for use in
rugged industrial and railway environments. The RF-R300 is
controlled via the GS1®
-certified HARTING Ha-VIS middleware.
Moreover, the RF-R300 is designed to enable customer-tailored
solutions to be flexibly implemented.
Naturally, the HAII4YOU Factory employs HARTING’s powerful
Ha-VIS middleware. The middleware centrally prepares and
pre-processes RFID information for the three RF-R300s so that
factory control receives precisely the RFID information it needs
without additional programming - meaning, for each process-
ing station, precisely one load carrier ID that is linked to an
order and the individual product memory.

Integration
The MICA Computing Appliance serves as a hardware
platform and is a compact computer, tested according to
EN 50155 as well as other industrial and railway standards.
The platform offers interfaces consisting of fieldbus standards
and USB up to RFID and BLE via custom function boards.
It combines a dustproof/splashproof aluminium die-cast
housing with outstanding vibration and shock resistance. All
components are designed for an extremely long service life in
harsh industrial environments.
Thanks to its compact dimensions and the default built-in
industrial connectors as well as the 24V power supply, the
MICA Computing Appliance is ideally suited for integrating
computer intelligence into manufacturing plants or retro
fitting existing plants, by mounting one or more MICAs and
developing or installing apps for special applications.
HARTING is your partner as you move into Integrated
Industry. We developed HARTING IIC MICA to enable
you to implement your own individual solution.
IIC MICA stands for Integrated Industry Computer
Modular Industry Computing Architecture and is a
modular open hardware/software platform. It was
designed from the ground up as a robust modular
platform for industry that can be adapted rapidly to
many different industrial applications.

The MICA Computing Appliance not only forms the basis of the
MICA platform. In many cases, the comprehensive package of
a 1GHz ARM processor, a 1GB of RAM, up to 32GB memory
and multi-tasking capability via HARTING Virtual Industrial
Computing can replace one or more industrial computers at an
attractive price and with minimal maintenance costs.
The basis of the MICA software environment is a Linux
system that is optimised for embedded applications. HARTING
Industrial Virtual Computing is then layered over this,
making it possible to virtualise applications on a field device
without the overhead of traditional virtualisation. All MICA
applications run in LXC containers in separate sandboxes.
The required libraries and drivers are all contained in
the respective container. This leaves dependencies among
packages, incompatibilities and negative side effects between
applications behind.
At the last Hannover Messe trade fair, three MICAs with
RFID function boards served as RFID readers at intelligent
stop points. Further development of the HAII4YOU will see
MICA deployed more extensively for control, orchestration and
monitoring tasks.

HARTING IT System Integration’s multi-year experience in
SAP and the production environment produces excellent re-
sults in the integration of the HAII4YOU Factory, enabling com-
pletely autonomous and automated machine connection in an
extremely rapid fashion. When a customer places their order
via the online store, a plausibility check is already performed
during configuration in order to protect the user from errors.
This means that the order can be transferred to SAP ERP and
translated directly into manufacturing orders.
Both functions have been implemented within SAP ERP stan-
dard functionalities, including only minor adjustments due
to the special information necessary for the demonstrator.
The newly created production orders are now - also in an
automated manner - passed on to the production layer. The
SAP MII (Manufactuiring Integration and Intelligence) uses
its functions as an interface for the communication between
SAP ERP and the shop floor and, in addition to the direct trans-
mission of data, also permits data from various sources to be
enhanced and displayed.
In the case of the HAII4YOU, the production-centric SAP MII
system assumes the task of system integration and visualisa-
tion of the manufacturing status and the status of the order.
Various data exchange interfaces are set up for both systems to
convert the manufacturing orders received into a format usable
for the machine, with the associated following demands to be
met by SAP MII for the HAII4YOU Factory:
• acceptance of orders from SAP ERP
• exchanging order information between SAP ERP and the
factory
• converting orders into a machine-usable format and con-
verting responses into an SAP-usable format
• analysis of machine data
• display of SAP ERP and machine data in both a stationary
and mobile environment
Thanks to the ability of the interfaces to be used via a web
browser, a single UI is able to be developed for the HAll4YOU
Factory that can be simultaneously used on stationary and
mobile end devices with integrated data from SAP ERP and
machine data.
With a cycle rate of less than 500ms, the data from the factory
and from SAP ERP is able to be updated and displayed.
The HARTING IIC MICA can also e.g. serve as a gateway between SAP ERP and the factory or consolidate factory data
and prepare it for analysis. The HAII4YOU Factory also consists of an online store for configuring connectors, as well
as featuring the integration of the online store with SAP ERP and, additionally, with the factory itself.

When a customer orders via the online
store, a plausibility check is already per-
formed during configuration.

system integration and the visualisation
of the manufacturing status and the
status of the order.

Digitalisation Customisation Integration Identification
Picking on the packaging lines is the final step in the man-
ufacture of heavy HARTING connectors. For the employees
responsible for these tasks, the packaging process poses chal-
lenges that are not to be underestimated.
Because here, at the last step prior to being warehoused, not
only do the ERP internal planning data need to be updated -
the shipping notice for the distribution centre also has to be
printed and the label for delivery to the end customer has to
be applied. In this context, it should be noted that the products
must be verified and packed in accordance with a predeter-
mined number.
The strived-for goal of improving what is very good to excellent
performance - with less effort while increasing capacity - poses
two challenges:
• the integration of all hardware and software components
• improving work processes for employees in the face of a
more complex IT structure
To meet these challenges, HARTING IT System Integration created
the concept of the Enterprise-Integration-Layer (EIL). This is a
logical software layer that lies between the individual applications
and integrates them with one another. As an additional benefit,
the EIL offers a user interface that can be used to operate all oth-
er systems. For the packaging lines, this means that, in future,
machine control, checkweigher, printing system, SAP ERP and
warehouse can be controlled via a single interface and supplied
with all required data. For employees, this results in dramatically
reduced effort since data input only takes place in a single system!
The challenge of not leaving staff behind while racing full speed ahead towards Industrie 4.0 is being impressively

IN BRIEF
• Reduction in operator effort
• Semi-automated interfaces prevent incorrect input
• Virtually no training required
• Direct integration between plants and SAP
This also represents the most important advantage of the EIL: a
reduction in the required interaction with complex IT systems,
thanks to networking and the automatic background distribu-
tion of required data. Previously, it was precisely this which
had to be manually read in by staff and entered in the indi-
vidual systems. The structure of the EIL interface facilitates
intuitive use and a very short learning curve. Project planning
by HARTING IT System Integration is done in close coordination
with the customer in order to achieve the best possible result.
“At present, we conservatively estimate a time saving of ap-
proximately 4 minutes per order. That works out at about
157,000 euros over the course of a year that we can save,”
said Reinhard Schmöe - Group Leader Housing Assembly, and
Karsten Wehrmann - Master Mechanical Treatment at HARTING
Electric. As a result, the SAP project could pay for itself within
the first year.

Identification
Electrical carriage transition is one of the most important subsystems of a rail vehicle. Besides high reliability,
low Life Cycle Costs (LCC) are also required. To meet these requirements, HARTING developed an RFID-based
identification system that can be seamlessly integrated into a maintenance management system.

For multiple-unit trains, it is impera-
tive that each car be reliably and safely
supplied with the electrical lifelines of
“Power, Signal and Data”. Laying elec-
trical cables in the car itself is not a
problem since they lie protected in the
floor or roof assembly. By contrast, the
transition cables to the next car, the so-
called Jumpers (Figure 1), are exposed
to high mechanical stresses that result
from bending, stretching and twisting.
Then there are the cables which are out-
side and are subjected to a broad range
of environmental conditions such as UV
radiation, heat, cold, rain, ice and snow.
Till now, these Jumpers have been re-
placed for preventive purposes at regular
intervals in order to pro-actively avoid
cable breaks and disturbances. This
method did not take into consideration
actual strain and actual wear. To simpli-
fy replacement, the Jumpers are plug-in
ready. Due to the robustness of Han®
rectangular connectors, the connec-
tion point of the Jumpers to the vehicle
is among the most durable parts of the
unit. As such, the connector is an ideal
location for the placement of an identifi-
cation system to “track” the entire unit.
Consequently, HARTING Technolo-
gy Group has equipped its proven
Han®
connectors with industrial-grade
Ha-VIS RFID transponders (Figure 2).
The RFID transponders integrated into
the connector are extremely robust and
can accompany the product from manu-
facturing through the broad variety of
railway vehicles’ maintenance intervals
all the way to replacement.
The transponders permit the unique
identification of the Jumpers, and all
loads and strain can be continuously
documented error-free - with no media
change - throughout the entire life cy-
cle. This enables the precise analysis
and classification of wear and tear, as
well as determinations regarding sourc-
es of error. In this way, Han®
connectors
with RFID support both the integrated
concepts of product traceability as well
as integration into the state-oriented
maintenance of rolling stock. This saves
time, money and reduces Life Cycle
Costs (LCC).
HARTING offers transponders equipped
with RFID technology, readers, anten-
nas and complete boxes, as well as cus-
tomer-specific system integration, in-
cluding the required software modules
(Figure 3).

Modularisation Digitalisation Miniaturisation
Production processes are becoming
increasingly modularised and flexible.
This requires durable and efficient con-
nections which supply machine modules
with data, signals and power.
Han®
connectors are predestined for these
applications: they give production mod-
ules flexible exchange and add-on pos-
sibilities - all while offering data, signals
and power in a single connector. What
makes this possible is Han-Modular®
, the
market standard for rectangular modular
connectors. Now, electronic components
are also increasingly finding themselves
at home in the Han-Modular®
system and
are opening up new possibilities.
MODULARITY ON ALL LEVELS
Current machinery has to work within
its existing environment while also being
capable of migration to Industrie 4.0. The
ongoing digitisation of industrial produc-
tion demands ever more intelligent hard-
ware to include at the field level.
HARTING’s modularly configured sys-
tems support the decentralised collec-
tion of data and their analysis. As a re-
sult, real production and IT applications
are growing closer step by step.
INCREASING NUMBER OF ETHERNET
CONNECTIONS
Machine vision is a basic technology of
Industrie 4.0. The seamless integration
of this technology into industrial produc-
tion systems requires an intelligent and
reliable supply of power and data. Here,
switches find one of their applications.
For example, camera systems are im-
plemented in existing systems with the
intention of optimising process flexibil-
ity and quality assurance management.
The total number of devices that need to
have an Ethernet connection is steadily
increasing in future-oriented systems.
Interfaces play a central role in this con-
text. Machine modules at all levels of the
production process are reliably linked
via connectors. Now, switch functional-
ity is also finding its place in the connec-
tor. This provides the ability to deploy
network devices closer to the field while
HARTING Technology Group is increasingly integrating electronics into the connector. The
Han-Modular®
Mini Switch provides additional flexibility in the digitisation of industrial pro-
duction and opens up new topological degrees of freedom - inside the connector.

In future, besides Ethernet, industry will increasingly require robust, high performance power connector solutions.
HARTING’s new Power version of the M12 continues the success story at the company, which significantly contributed to
the creation of the new IEC 61076-2-111 M12 power standard - the cornerstone of a new standardised device connection.
Compact, powerful, standardised.
M12 Power sets a new standard.
» Matthias Domberg, Product Manager, HARTING Technology Group, Matthias.Domberg@HARTING.com
HARTING’s launch of the M12 Power is not limited to a single connector - the company has unveiled a whole new product family.
29. 29
New concepts are needed to meet
Industrie 4.0’s increasing “appetite for
energy” resulting from the growing
number of participants in the area of
automation. In addition to signals and
data, more and more power must also
be transmitted. As a result, HARTING
Technology Group has helped push
ahead with the development of a new in-
dustry standard whose objective is the
creation of manufacturer-neutral mat-
ing faces. The resulting new Standard
IEC 61076-2-111 is the basis for future
M12 power connector solutions. The ad-
opted standard has also led to the emer-
gence of the new, universal mating face
with L-coding. This standardisation ef-
fort offers our customers investment se-
curity for the future and establishes the
M12 in the power connector segment.
The 5-pole L-coding boasts 0.75 kW pow-
er at 63V / 16 A, making it ideally suited
for small servo motors, field distribution
boxes, field-bus controlled I/O boxes,
network devices and valve applications.
Besides the classic M12 applications, the
future will see more markets - e.g. trans-
portation - which could be addressed by
this power variant in different encodings
or in combination with PushPull tech-
nology. The PNO views the L-coded M12
as the future standard device connection
that will completely replace the area of
application of the existing M12 A-coded
and 7/8“ solutions. Thus, in the future
a uniform and universal IP65/67 power
connector will be able to be employed.
The M12 Power’s smaller build is thus
fully in line with the trend towards min-
iaturisation.
In addition to its impressive performance
and small size, the M12 Power’s portfolio
also includes impressive versatility. On
the cable side, the well-known HARAX®
IDC connectors and crimp terminals
are available for straight versions as
male and female variants. These feature
the proven 360° shielding concept that
is already successfully being used in
the Slim Design series. As a result,
HARTING has taken into account a
market requirement that goes even be-
yond the requirements of the relevant
IEC 61076-2-111 standard. The portfolio is
rounded out by panel feed-throughs, re-
flow-compatible PCB connectors, straight
designs and customised cable assemblies
in various lengths and cable types. In the
area of customisation, the new M12 Pow-
er means that HARTING offers its custom-
ers a standardised yet customisable pow-
er connector - a solution that at all events
meets the Fourth Industrial Revolution’s
“appetite for energy”.

The development challenges of the future are characterised by shorter product life cycles, faster

Many project delays result from over-
loading the organisation (too many
projects at the same time) and the un-
controlled scheduling and inclusion
of projects in the project portfolio. The
CONWIP approach limits the number
of projects simultaneously permitted in
the organisation that are being worked
on at the same time. This forces continu-
ous active control of the project portfolio.
The result is an increase in the efficien-
cy with which more projects are execut-
ed during the identical time frame.
Traditional project management begins
by roughly planning out costs, perfor-
mance and time. In the project struc-
ture plan, milestones which rely on esti-
mates have data generated for them even
during initial stages. All in all, an at-
tempt is made to predict the future while
the project is still just getting started,
without the ability to really assess out-
side influences. For changing demands,
this makes the system very rigid.
Particularly in the case of customer pro-
jects, changes need to be incorporated
flexibly since the customer itself is still
in development and thus no final speci-
fications are yet available for the project
to get under way.
The “scrum” management method can
be used to manage such teams and to
be able to promptly influence the course
of the project. The method does not plan
out the complete project schedule. Rath-
er, work packages are divided into short
Sprints (small periods) - in the case at
hand, from one day to one week, giv-
en how highly dynamic it is. The work
packages for a sprint are distributed to
the project team members. Here, a sprint
is visualised on a scrum board, and the
following key questions are asked at
15-minute daily meetings:
• What have I done since yesterday?
• What will I accomplish by tomorrow?
• Where do I have problems, where do
obstacles exist?
Problem-solving is not front and centre
at this meeting - annotating items on a
board is. Solutions to problems are then
implemented by efficient smaller teams.
The overall monitoring of all work packag-
es is done on a burn-down chart. The chart
lists all work packages necessary for the
project and assigns them an effort and a
duration. The burn-down chart shows daily
progress as well as any deviation from the
target. Delays are thus recognised early on,
which allows measures to be initiated.
When using these methods, it is import-
ant that the project teams be protected
in a disciplined manner from work that
falls outside the project focus. The scrum
boards also display when certain em-
ployees have no tasks in the project and
can assume other work. Consequently,
this type of project does not necessarily
mean a halt in all other projects.
The efficiency of these methods has al-
ready been proven in concrete projects.
In one customer project, the extremely
short development time available was
able to be met - with an extra week to
spare. As a result, thanks to modern and
efficient development and project man-
agement methods, our customers can
rely on short and targeted development
processes at HARTING - regardless of
whether this involves customer specials
or catalogue development.
The result is an increase
in the efficiency with
which more projects
are executed during the
identical time frame.

extensive industry know-how of its development engineers.
As a Siemens Solution Partner, HARTING e.g. developed a plug-
in Power-Y distributor box to supply power to Sirius M200D
devices and Sinamics G110D / G120D frequency inverters.
The impetus for this was a construction site problem report
lamenting the extensive wiring effort required for inverters
and switching equipment. Teaming up with the customer,
HARTING Customised Solutions developed a plug-in Power-Y
distribution box which permits a four-wire power line with a
cross-section of up to 4 mm² to be looped from one connector
to another using the daisy-chaining technique, saving the cost
of additional energy supply points. For the Y-Power distribution
box, HARTING developed new injection moulding tools and new
distribution PCBs inside the box and equipped the box with
customer-specific part numbers, as well as new packaging.
Optimised performance is not only the preserve of mass production applications - where tailored solutions are
carefully developed and where technology boundaries are challenged; Customers with smaller batches and
specialist needs must also seek to achieve this goal effectively and efficiently.

Lighting systems
for wind turbines
As an expert in customisation solutions,
HARTING provides LED lighting systems
to the wind power industry. Customised
standard components often form the
building blocks of the modular system.
The systems, which consist of LED
lights, pluggable device connection,
pre-assembled cables, distribution units
and, upon request, an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS), are adapted to the
specificities of the wind power facility.
Experts first analyse which lights in
which mounting position achieve op-
timal light distribution with minimal
material utilisation. Naturally, the legal
requirements for illumination intensity
are taken into consideration.
Individual analysis can be performed
using a computer software model, or
by taking measurements in the facili-
ty itself. Here, HARTING’s 30+ years of
experience in the wind industry benefit
the company as well as the customer. As
a result, the in-house developed lights
impress with particularly good light dis-
tribution and can, additionally, be used
for both indoor as well as outdoor use.
The effect is an overall reduction in the
LED spotlights required in an installa-
tion. Each lighting fixture that doesn’t
need to be installed saves the customer
money several times over: in procure-
ment, installation and with respect to
fail-safe requirements – so-called econ-
omies of scale.
Customers report that our lighting sys-
tem – thanks to the individual delivery
composition in logistics, the plug play
installation method and 100 % function
testing during commissioning - also re-
sults in lower costs, just as it does for
maintenance and service. Modularity
and first-class engineering are the key
to this success.

Real-time communication and high availability represent
the challenges facing the multi-layered, networked future of
sensors and actuators in the world of Integrated Industry.
Today's “smart” grids - regardless of their structure and regard-
less of whether they transmit data or power - all need a “data high-
way” to communicate, and optimally need to operate around the
clock. The demands on the control systems of these networks are:
• the system, and thus the control unit, need to provide high
performance real-time communication and offer 24 x 7 uptime
• planned and unplanned downtimes should be reduced, if
possible*
Since high availability concepts often focus on active electron-

Each year between March and
November, this region at the mouth of
the Pearl River is hit by severe typhoons.
Overhead wires would be repeatedly lost
to storms, and safe operation of the tram
could not be guaranteed. As a result, the
operating company opted for the use of
a catenary-free electrification system
in which the trams are supplied with
electricity via the ground.
Here, 3 to 5-meter long contact plates
embedded between the tracks form a
current-conducting section. A safety
circuit ensures that only the contact
plates located directly below the vehicle
conduct electricity. An extensible copper
pickup shoe on the bogie transmits the
energy to the vehicle. For areas without
contact plates, temporary storage in
the vehicle ensures continuous power
supply.
To guarantee safe contacting of the
current-carrying contact plates, the
pickup shoe must be precisely lifted and
lowered. Here, the HARTING RFID UHF
system is used for exact triggering of the
lifting and lowering mechanism.
Passive UHF RFID Type CT89 tran-
sponders embedded in the track bed
mark the times at which the lifting and
lowering mechanism of the pantograph
must be activated. The transponders are
read by a rail-suitable HARTING RFID
RF-R500 reader mounted on the tram
with the aid of the flexible LOCFIELD®
antenna. This antenna mounted under
the tram ensures reliable reading of
the transponder at a speed of 40km/h
- despite its minimal antenna spacing.
The LOCFIELD®
antenna is based on a
modified coaxial cable, around which a
tubular UHF antenna field spreads.

Modularisation
HARTING has created two possibilities for using its industrial
connectors to make electrical connections in UL 508 control
panels, switchgear and other control systems. The first is the
creation of an extensive range of “UL-listed”, pre-assembled,
connector-based cable assemblies that meet the requirements
of UL 2237 (“PVVA” section), a complementary standard to UL
508 that governs multi-point connections of power cables in
industrial machinery. The second is made possible through
the newly launched “PVVA2” section of UL 2237, which was
established by UL at the request of HARTING. It allows for field
assembly using individual “UL-Recognized” components. The
PVVA2 classification facilitates the use of connectors in a
UL 508-certified cabinet, which in turn will deliver benefits
throughout all stages of product design, fabrication, testing
and commissioning, with enormous time and cost savings
over hard-wired connections. HARTING connectors are the
only ones that have undergone rigorous testing by UL to gain
UL-Recognized (PVVA2) status, which also makes them suit-
able for incorporation in PVVA cable assemblies. A wide range
of HARTING connectors now have UL-Recognized status, and
many more HARTING products will be added to both the PVVA
and PVVA2 lists in the months and years to come.
QUICKER INITIAL COMMISSIONING OF FACILITIES
HARTING is currently the only manufacturer in the world that
offers its customers two different options for installing con-
nectors in electrical cabinets intended for the North American
market. The time needed for testing and commissioning at
industrial facilities is then reduced, even while the reliabil-

complished for UL approvals, HARTING is actively involved in
certifications for many markets around the world. Additional
quality certificates are available for HARTING products from
testing institutes such as GL, DQS or Veritas.

For customers, numerous factors play a role in the choice
of a product. In addition to innovation, a broad portfolio and
product quality, delivery times and delivery reliability are of
particular importance when making a decision.
With regard to reliability of delivery, for the customer the ques-
tion arises of the likelihood of a supply shortage in situations
where components are only manufactured in a single factory or
even with a single tool. If problems were to arise with the tool
or the production plant, sooner or later this would inevitably
lead to supply problems. To avoid this and ensure the greatest
possible delivery reliability for its customers, HARTING early
on chose to produce large chunks of the industrial connector
portfolio in parallel at various locations, depending on the re-
spective degree of automation. Accordingly, different products
for European and American customers are produced either in
Germany or in Romania. Asian customers are supplied with
the identical products from the Zhuhai/China location. This
production is carried out according to the same HARTING high
quality standards. This unique global production approach in
the area of rectangular connectors offers customers the highest
level of delivery reliability.
HARTING combines this with a global logistics concept that
is based on regional distribution centres in Germany, China,
Japan, Singapore, Russia, Brazil and the United States, in order
to ensure short distances and quick delivery times.

As an innovative technology leader, the
HARTING Technology Group is continu-
ally confronted with product replicas
and is forced to protect its rights to its
own intellectual property by all available
means. In this context, a recent appeal
hearing achieved another victory against
a Chinese manufacturer that had copied
HARTING connectors. An appeals court
in Beijing ordered the Chinese company
to halt production and sale of the product
replicas and definitively dismissed the
appeal of the defendant. For HARTING,
the judgment is not merely a positive
sign for its involvement in China.
It is also of extreme importance for inno-
vators such as the HARTING Technology
Group to be able to safeguard invest-
ments via patent protection, thereby en-
abling further innovation and ultimately
high quality standards to be maintained
consistently.
