Will data be transmitted wirelessly in the future? Can cables be printed directly into the body? Which wiring harness structure paves the way for Automation? Which architecture ensures functional safety? What does a green electrical systemthat is CO2-neutral and resource-efficient? In short: What will the wiring harness look like in 10 years?
Dozens of scientists and developers at universities, private research institutes and within the framework of public projects are working on these and other questions. Away from day-to-day business, the foundation for the wiring harness of tomorrow (and the day after) is being laid here.
It is precisely in this research and project landscape that the wiring harness hub is actively looking for technological approaches with a TRL from 3 to 4This means that the physical principles and possible applications have been researched and proof-of-concept studies and initial test setups are now being carried out.
Once we have identified such relevant technologies, we give researchers the chance to carry out their work on one of our trend outlooks Here, innovative ideas can be placed directly in the wiring harness community and potential partners can be won for the crucial next step:
The Valley of Death describes the phase of technology development where many good ideas have already failed. Many technologies "starve" on the way from laboratory tests to the successful construction of near-production prototypes and final commercialization. This is where we come in and find the perfect partners in our broad network to turn ideas into innovations.
The content presented as part of the trend outlook will then be published here on the website.
Are you researching an exciting topic or are you part of an interesting joint project? Come to us! We would be happy to check how the wiring harness can benefit from your technology.
