HARTING reduces design time from weeks to minutes with Siemens and Azure AI
HARTING
HARTING, a German maker of industrial connectors with more than 27,000 product options, built an AI-guided Han® Configurator powered by Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service and Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing that lets customers describe requirements in natural language and get guided to the right product in about one minute, down from 15-20 minutes. For custom designs, a companion tool built by HARTING's Innovation Hub interoperates with Siemens' NX and Simcenter (part of Siemens Xcelerator) to refine 2D layouts, generate 3D models and run basic thermal FEM simulations, cutting custom prototype creation from weeks to minutes.
