HARTING Technology Group will once again be showcasing numerous new products and solutions at the Hannover Messe to be held on 23 to 27 April. This year, HARTING (Hall 11 / Stand C13) will highlight the importance of Integrated Industry partnerships by way of a few examples. HARTING will emphasis this year’s HANNOVER MESSE motto of “Integrated Industry – Connect & Collaborate”.

In conjunction with partners from the MICA. Network and Swiss automobile manufacturer Rinspeed, HARTING will show how partnerships can create added values for the customer. Currently, 24 partner companies cooperate in the MICA.Network and present some 29 use cases on the basis of MICA (on the website www.mica.network) for various applications in the area of Industry 4.0.

As the eye-catcher and technology carrier par excellence this year’s HARTING stand will once again showcase a concept vehicle created by the Rinspeed automobile visionaries. The revolutionary “Snap” is a driveable electro-pod with exchangeable vehicle superstructures – depending on applications and customer demands and wishes. Rinspeed, the Swiss automobile specialist, will be highlighting the new “Snap” concept vehicle in Hannover. For the third time in a row, Rinspeed will be relying on innovative HARTING technology. This time around, the family-owned company is delivering rapid-charging technology to charge the “Snap” with electric power, quickly and in an environmentally friendly way.

Another highlight at the trade show will be modular connectors. HARTING is consistently expanding its portfolio of modular connectors based on the fast and secure PushPull locking system. Industrial connectors need to be robust, easy to use and at the same time as powerful as possible.
