ON YOUR MARKS,
GET SET, 4.0:
Trends are becoming solutions -
HARTING Integrated Industry 4 You
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!

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.
t e c . N e w s 29: S t r at e gy
“Disruptive” or
­“evolutionary” does
not mean a disruptive
balancing act if the
­resolution mechanisms
of both scenarios point
in one direction.

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.

POTENTIAL FUTURE SCENARIOS
• Extreme case: No evolutionary/­
revolutionary change in the technical
structure.
• The classical model of the automation
pyramid remains in place.
• Business models of suppliers and
­users remain virtually unchanged.
• The classical structure of the auto-
mation pyramid is supplemented by
distributed systems.
• Additive business models arise,
­leading to the emergence of a new
­value-creation level.
• Extreme case: Radical change. The
classical structure is replaced by a
network composed of distributed
systems.
• This leads to a radical realignment of
existing business models and to the
formation of a value-creation network.

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
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
during processing and vertical integration in a SAP environment make customised solutions easier to achieve and
bring customers and suppliers closer together.

ules are exchanged. The modules fea-
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.
The intelligent stop point
HARTING already offers its customers all
necessary connection components for
cyber physical systems.

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

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.

t e c . N e w s 29: S t r at e gy
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.
» Sebastian Holzschuh, Head of Technology  Production, HARTING Technology Group, Sebastian.Holzschuh@HARTING.com
When a customer orders via the online
store, a plausibility check is already per-
formed during configuration.
The SAP system handles the task of
­system integration and the visualisation
of the manufacturing status and the
­status of the order.

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
mastered in the SAP project for the packaging lines for heavy duty connectors in Plant 2 in Espelkamp - all while
­garnering an expected cost savings of at least 157,000 euros per year.

 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.
Intuitive use and a very short learning

 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
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.

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-
ics such as the assemblies and the software, the complexity of
the associated housing technology and the backplane technol-
ogy is often underestimated. But for a CPS of this complexity
and magnitude, the backplane and the housing technology
both play a crucial role.
To do this task justice, top-ranking customers leverage our
expertise in the field of signal integrity, backplane design and

 Identification
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.
HARTING was awarded the contract
by Chinese railway research company
­Qingdao SRSRI to equip twelve trams
on Line 1 in Zhuhai with corresponding
RFID systems.
» May Li, Product Manager ICPN, HARTING Shanghai, May.Li@HARTING.com
Zhuhai is an upcoming modern metropolis in southern China. In August of this year, a catenary-free tram went into oper-
ation. Relying on HARTING RFID technology, the partially underfloor power supply is controlled via precise positioning,
ensuring reliable railway operation.

 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-
ity and quality of the facility improves. Besides this work ac-
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.
» Cory Jenkins, Senior Product Manager, HARTING USA, Cory.Jenkings@HARTING.com
HARTING now offers focused product solutions that are fully
compliant with the UL 508 (508A, 508C) certification standard
for “Industrial Control Equipment”. This represents a significant
worldwide advance for every manufacturer of equipment with
intended use in North America where UL 508 certification is a
practical necessity. It will expand the use of connector-based
cable assemblies or components in industrial electrical control
cabinets.

PushPull Signal exemplifies miniaturisation.
Double the number of contacts in the well-
known connector format.
Squealing tyres. The smell of burnt rubber. The pit crew
works quickly, focused, constantly battling against the stop-
watch. In the Formula Student, things have to be fast. Here,
every movement must be precise, every component reliable
- which is why the team from the University of Osnabrück
counts on the PushPull Signal from HARTING. It’s light, fast,
modular and provides the electric racer’s cockpit with data
and signals.
It is precisely these features which make this connector an
optimal connectivity technology for the Fourth Industrial Rev-
olution. Production is becoming ever more modular, and both
components and machines will be recombined at ever shorter
intervals in future. New products and processes are imple-
mented for even small individual batches. Here, time plays a
considerable role. The disconnection and recombination of new
modular units must be fast, simple and reliable – as fast as a
pit stop. If the racecar driver comes to a stop and components
are changed, the process has to be fast. In robotics for example,
these are sensor systems that need to be supplied with signals
and power and switched out for different tasks. Here, PushPull
Signal offers quick and easy one-hand handling. In addition,
the high contact density of 20 poles packed into a minimal area
permits the PushPull to save space and interfaces on the appli-
cation. This is in line with the trend towards miniaturisation,
and offers customers highly integrated devices.
With its 20-pole PushPull Signal connector, HARTING supports
its customers on the way to optimised production that realises
the ideals of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

In Industrie 4.0, maintenance, daily adjustments and the new ability to
combine machine modules are a reality. Here, speed is of the essence.
HARTING’s PushPull Signal is light, fast, modular and is already being used
in motor sports applications. The best conditions for Industrie 4.0.

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.

  • 2. ON YOUR MARKS, 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, » Philip Harting, Chairman of the Board, Senior Vice President Connectivity Networks and personally liable partner

  • 7. 7 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. t e c . N e w s 29: S t r at e gy “Disruptive” or ­“evolutionary” does not mean a disruptive balancing act if the ­resolution mechanisms of both scenarios point in one direction.
  • 8. 8 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.

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.

  • 10. 10  Digitalisation   Customisation   Integration   Identification 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. t e c .

  • 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. t e c .

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.

  • 14. 14  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! » Andre Beneke, Director Product Industry Segment Management, HARTING Technology Group, Andre.Beneke@HARTING.com The perfect interface for flexible and modular machine layout in Integrated Industry applications is at work in the HAII4YOU Factory.

  • 15. 15  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. The intelligent stop point HARTING already offers its customers all necessary connection components for cyber physical systems.  IN BRIEF • Modular, quick and simple to use • Decentralised communication of machine elements • Freely scalable, thanks to a broad product portfolio • Robust and industrial-strength t e c .

Mini infrastructure box provides maximum flexibility t e c . N e w s 29: S t r at e gy » John Witt, Sales Business Development Manager, HARTING Technology Group, John.Witt@HARTING.com » Andreas Huhmann, Strategy Consultant Connectivity Networks, HARTING Technology Group, Andreas.Huhmann@HARTING.com 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 .

  • 17. 17  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.

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.

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. » Sebastian Holzschuh, Head of Technology Production, HARTING Technology Group, Sebastian.Holzschuh@HARTING.com When a customer orders via the online store, a plausibility check is already per- formed during configuration.

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 mastered in the SAP project for the packaging lines for heavy duty connectors in Plant 2 in Espelkamp - all while ­garnering an expected cost savings of at least 157,000 euros per year.

N e w s 29: A p p l i c at i o n s  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. Intuitive use and a very short learning curve.

  • 25. 25 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).  IN BRIEF • RFID enables unique ­identification • Product traceability without media downtime • Reduction in Life Cycle Costs (LCC) t e c .

  • 26. 26  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.

N e w s 29: S o l u t i o n s 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”. t e c .

  • 31. 31 t e c . N e w s 29: S o l u t i o n s 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. The CONWIP (CONstant Work In Projects) project clock

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.

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.

  • 39. 39  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.

This represents a significant worldwide advance for every manufacturer of equipment with intended use in North America where UL 508 certification is a practical necessity. It will expand the use of connector-based cable assemblies or components in industrial electrical control cabinets. t e c . N e w s 29: S o l u t i o n s HARTING is currently the only manufac- turer in the world that offers its custom- ers two different options for installing connectors in electrical cabinets intend- ed for the North American market.

  • 40. 4 0  Modularisation   Miniaturisation ©FSG Hirvonen PushPull Signal exemplifies miniaturisation. Double the number of contacts in the well- known connector format. Squealing tyres. The smell of burnt rubber. The pit crew works quickly, focused, constantly battling against the stop- watch. In the Formula Student, things have to be fast. Here, every movement must be precise, every component reliable - which is why the team from the University of Osnabrück counts on the PushPull Signal from HARTING. It’s light, fast, modular and provides the electric racer’s cockpit with data and signals. It is precisely these features which make this connector an optimal connectivity technology for the Fourth Industrial Rev- olution. Production is becoming ever more modular, and both components and machines will be recombined at ever shorter intervals in future. New products and processes are imple- mented for even small individual batches. Here, time plays a considerable role. The disconnection and recombination of new modular units must be fast, simple and reliable – as fast as a pit stop. If the racecar driver comes to a stop and components are changed, the process has to be fast. In robotics for example, these are sensor systems that need to be supplied with signals and power and switched out for different tasks. Here, PushPull Signal offers quick and easy one-hand handling. In addition, the high contact density of 20 poles packed into a minimal area permits the PushPull to save space and interfaces on the appli- cation. This is in line with the trend towards miniaturisation, and offers customers highly integrated devices. With its 20-pole PushPull Signal connector, HARTING supports its customers on the way to optimised production that realises the ideals of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. » Mathias Ohsiek, Product Manager, HARTING Technology Group, Mathias.Ohsiek@HARTING.com » Bastian Schieleit, Product Manager, HARTING Technology Group, Bastian.Schieleit@HARTING.com In Industrie 4.0, maintenance, daily adjustments and the new ability to combine machine modules are a reality. Here, speed is of the essence. HARTING’s PushPull Signal is light, fast, modular and is already being used in motor sports applications. The best conditions for Industrie 4.0.  IN BRIEF • Light, fast, modular • Supplies end devices with up to 2A of power per contact • High contact density PushPull on the fast track t e c .

  • 41. 41 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. t e c .

  • 42. 42 t e c . N e w s 29: I n b r i e f 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.
