HARTING also recently became a member of the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC). This association headquartered in Needham in the US state of Massachusetts aims to develop internet technologies for industrial deployment. It was founded in March 2014 by the US companies AT&T, Cisco, General Electric, IBM and Intel. Over 200 companies, which now also include HARTING, belong to the organization worldwide.
“The developments triggered by the Internet of Things will remain the mega issue over the coming years. HARTING will play an active role in the testing of new technologies. Our membership of IIC means we are always on the pulse of the latest developments,” explained Dr. Frank Brode, Senior Vice President New Technologies at HARTING.
