< PreviousSee all the Leaders in Automation at www.automationworld.com/leadersAdvertisementHARTING is the global choice connectivity solution provider for high demand markets and critical applications. Best known for world-class connector and cabling solutions for getting power, signal, and data quickly and reliably from point A to B. Not at least because HARTING invented the rectangular connector in 1956. The 6 Trends in IIoT: Miniaturization: The new award-winning ix Industrial® requires 70% less installation space and is more robust than the legacy RJ45 with the same functionality.Modularization: Modularization means offering flexible, reconfigurable production elements that have standardized interfaces for mechanical connections and power, data and signal transmission. HARTING’s Han-Modular® series illustrates this trend perfectly.Identification: In 2006, HARTING introduced an industrial RFID solution developed specifically for utmost reliability even in harsh operating environments, with a product lineup that has continued to grow over the past dozen years.Integration: The HARTING MICA® serves as an ideal communications hub in a decentralized IIoT production environment. For example, the HARTING MICA® has been used to monitor the amount of power used at the machine, measure power quality, provide insights into machine health and ensure process quality.Customization: HARTING customized the hood for its economical Han-Eco® series of thermoplastic connectors to make them suitable for data center applications. This is why the customized Han-Eco® was selected as the connector for Microsoft’s open-source Project Olympus data center developed through the Open Compute Project.Digitalization: Digitalization is taking things that typically do not transmit data or are analog and make them digital so that they can be integrated into larger IIoT systems. The flexible configuration possibilities with MICA® mean shop floor and machine operations can be retrofitted to perform digital, networked applications for more efficient production processes, predictive maintenance, and documentation of process data.www.harting-usa.comEmail: more.info@HARTING.comPhone: 877/741.15001370 Bowes Road, Elgin, IL 60123 USA HARTING North AmericaCables, Wiring & ConnectorsIoT Platforms108Document_2020_LIAProfiles.indd 108Document_2020_LIAProfiles.indd 1081/20/20 3:52 PM1/20/20 3:52 PMSee all the Leaders in Automation at www.automationworld.com/leadersAdvertisementHELUKABEL – The Worry-Free Cable ExperienceHELUKABEL USA, based near Chicago IL, is a global manufacturer and supplier of cables, wires and cable accessories.
