As one of 16 exhibitors, we were at the 22nd Cooperation Conference Automotive Wire Harness in Munich on 31 October. The well-attended event offers practical information on current trends as well as opportunities for new cooperation, and with more than 250 participants we made extensive use of the numerous opportunities for networking and professional exchange.
Autonomous driving changes the wire harness industry and creates new requirements for development and production. The experts from automotive manufacturers and the supply industry discussed current technical approaches for the implementation of automated driving and digitalization in the vehicle wiring system at this year’s event.
Speakers from BMW, Audi, Leoni Bordnetz-Systeme, KOSTAL Kontakt Systeme, DRÄXLMAIER, fleXstructures, Gebauer & Griller Kabelwerke and Schäfer Werkzeug- und Sondermaschinenbau took a close look at topics such as “Safety of power supply systems”, “Cables for high data volume” and “3D-mechanical power supply system design and digital protection”. Innovations for high-voltage systems and the realization of a stable energy supply were also presented.
