It's electric, it's fantastic

Why the All Electric Society (AES) inspires us

Haven't we already been living in an "electric society" quite some time now - with our smart phones, robot vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers, dishwashers and washing machines? So what is it that makes our "Electric Society" an "All Electric Society"? How big is the step to reach this "All" of the "All Electric Society"?

For us, the "All" is the world of the future, which is characterised by universal connectivity between all assets in all sectors. Each and every asset will be interconnected, interacting and building an intelligent, CO2-neutral and efficient future system. We, the HARTING Technology Group, are offering everything that creates the connection - networked with our connectivity.

Connecting the All Electric Society

For HARTING, the All Electric Society (AES) is the key element in charting the course to a sustainable world. But achieving this will also call for interlinking the sectors. And there is a foundation for this complex task that needs to be outlined and established.

Satisfying the hunger for energy – electrified and networked

Energy makes the world go round – with demands for power trending ever upwards. The ecological and economic framework conditions, however, call for decisive steps in the direction of renewable forms of energy. In order to optimise their use, individual sectors must be able to interact and the concept of the All Electric Society must be lived consistently.

The ‘All’ makes the difference

The ‘All’ makes the difference

The term ‘All Electric Society’ is already firmly established. However, its actual realisation is still a long way off. In this interview, Andreas Huhmann, Strategy Consultant, and Stephan Middelkamp, General Manager for Quality and Technologies at HARTING, explain what it will take.

The long-distance race is on

The long-distance race is on

The electrical and digital industry is a guarantor for successful electrifi cation and consequently also for the necessary sector coupling. The relevant industry association, however, does not expect the transformation process to be a sprint. First movers in the industry and attractive framework conditions on the part of policymakers are key aspects for the organization.

The electrical backbone for all sectors

The electrical backbone for all sectors

Successful sector coupling depends decisively on smooth energy transmission. To this end, HARTING is constantly developing and refining its products and, with its innovative connectors and cable systems, is providing the key connectors between and within the sectors.

Leveraging the advantages of DC-Drives

There are very few production environments working in DC networks. Does that mean that the advantages of direct current are not being utilised? Quite the opposite: DC drive systems have been on the job in a wide variety of applications for years. Now it's time to operate them with direct current to unleash their fullest potential.

Denmark: An intelligent energy system that enables a green and safe transition

In neighbouring northern European countries, the All Electric Society is already more tangible. Above all Green Power Denmark with its members is an active driver. Christina Burgos Nittegaard, Head of the Intelligent Energy Department at the business organisation, gives an insight the goals and challenges.

IEC Ethernet standards: The primary element empowering the AES

Data and power are the foundations of an All Electric Society (AES). In an electrified world, there is no device that can function without the appropriate power supply and communication. This communication between all participants is the key to sustainable energy generation and the necessary efficiency gains. While international Ethernet standards already ensure data communication today, power supply solutions are highly fragmented across the individual sectors of the AES.

One Single Interface for all lifelines

Current drives and servomotors in industrial applications are connected to the necessary lifelines by way of several interfaces. Data, signals and power are each connected via plug connections that are specialised for their individual task – which costs space.
