The All Electric Society as the key
Technology and innovation are our key to a sustainable future. We see ourselves as an impact investor, bringing together attitude and return. We are pushing ahead with the implementation of our vision of an All Electric Society, while at the same time not losing sight of all areas of technological innovation surrounding digitalization, Industry 4.0 and IoT.
In order to use the regeneratively generated energy according to demand, this requires solutions and technologies for electrification, networking and automation to realize sector coupling.
In sector coupling, energy generation, distribution, storage and consumption are considered as a holistic system. To this end, individual sectors exchange energy with each other so that it is available in the right form where it is needed. By collecting and evaluating energy consumption and generation data, the energy flow is optimally controlled.
“The major global challenges demand that leading players in particular put sustainability at the heart of their business models. It is the future image of the All Electric Society, in which we see the big questions of our time answered. With products, solutions and services for electrification, networking and automation, Phoenix Contact as a global technology company supports industry and society on the way to this sustainable world.”
