HARTING reduces design time from weeks to minutes
Summary
Microsoft has published a story about the collaboration with Siemens and HARTING Finding the right product among more than 27,000 options can feel like searching for a specific grain of sand on the beach. HARTING products power everything from electric vehicle charging stations to datacenters, but traditional design and configuration processes were ripe for disruption. The AI assistant supports engineers by refining 2D layouts, verifying details, generating 3D models with Siemens NX, and doing basic thermal FEM simulations. Simon Hagen, Senior Innovation Engineer at HARTING Technology Group, credits teamwork as the key to success, explaining, “Each company brought unique knowledge to the table, and by working together with Siemens and Microsoft, we could build the modular architecture that made this project a reality.” HARTING’s innovations set a new benchmark for customer-centric product development. These tools empower engineers, customers, and sales teams to work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence, transforming how connectors are designed and delivered.
