Global Manufacturing Leader to also Demo Its New AI-Powered Platform Developed with Microsoft and Siemens

HARTING, the gold standard in connectivity for industrial environments and mission-critical applications, is attending the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago from September 9 to 14 to showcase its innovative products that support engineers and allow manufacturers to be more efficient. Additionally, the company has collaborated with Microsoft and Siemens to develop an AI-enabled platform that helps manufacturers effectively design connectors, save time, and enhance productivity. The software uses advanced algorithms and machine learning capabilities to understand manufacturers' needs and preferences, providing relevant product recommendations.

Microsoft's CVP of Global Industry, Kathleen Mitford, will highlight the platform's prototype during her keynote panel at IMTS on Monday, September 9 at 9:30 am CT. The discussion will focus on the AI-powered platform and how data and AI can empower organizations to achieve sustainable transformation. Additionally, Casey Spitz, Vice President of Development & Innovation of HARTING Americas, will speak on Microsoft's "Demystifying Industrial AI Across the Value Chain" panel on Wednesday, September 11 at 3:30 p.m. CT.

HARTING will be at booth #237345, which will have its mobile product showcase on wheels containing its entire portfolio of advanced plug-and-play connectivity products that allow manufacturers to reduce the number of wires and labor needed to operate.

"Efficient connectors that use fewer materials and produce more power are the future of manufacturing and other critical industries powering the world, and as the world's top industrial connector supplier, we understand this better than anyone," said Lucas Knapp, Vice President of Product Management and Market Development at HARTING Americas. "Engineers will have hands-on experiences with our products at our booth to understand how they work. Between experiencing our connectors, testing our new AI platform, and speaking with our team of experts, visitors will have a greater understanding of the future of connectivity and smart manufacturing."

HARTING will be at booth #237345, which will have its mobile product showcase on wheels containing its entire portfolio of advanced plug-and-play connectivity products that allow manufacturers to reduce the number of wires and labor needed to operate. In addition, guests can test the company's new AI tool by simply entering a few criteria and specifications for the functionality they need and the model generates a recommended existing connector as well as suggestions for a custom solution.

Attendees will also learn about the inefficiencies of hardwiring through a hands-on display to better understand why that process has no place in modern machinery. The booth will feature an interactive modularity display with the company's Han-Eco Lego sculptures, where visitors will have a tangible and visible experience with the lightweight connector solution that showcases the benefits of modular connectors.
