The Weidmüller Group, headquartered in Detmold, looks back on a successful 2022. For the first time, the turnover mark of one billion euros was exceeded in the current fiscal year. In total, Weidmüller achieved a turnover of 1.175 billion euros in 2022.
The German electronics and connectivity technology company Weidmüller is expanding its activities on the Chinese market. A new manufacturing site will be built in the city of Suzhou. With this project, Weidmüller is strengthening its commitment in China and investing in local, sustainable and more efficient capacities for production, R&D and logistics. Completion of the new site and start of production are scheduled for July 2025.
With SNAP IN, the electronics and connectivity company Weidmüller introduced innovative connection technology in 2021, which is already setting new standards in the field of connectivity – and is also optimised for panel building of the future. SNAP IN enables automated wiring by industrial robots.
Improving production efficiency and quality in control cabinet building is a common pursuit of Weidmüller and Eplan. To achieve this goal, both companies are working on the best possible integration of their interfaces and data models. This has resulted in a technology partnership that was sealed in 2022 as part of the Eplan Partner Network and has now been announced at the Hannover Messe.
Universal relays are needed in numerous general applications in automation – and are therefore used in more and more industrial fields. To guarantee maximum plant availability, they also need to work reliably in environments subject to frequent vibration. At the same time, more compact modules that fit into flat switchgear cabinets are also needed. With TERMSERIES-compact, Weidmüller now presents literally a small revolution that meets both these requirements in impressive form – and can do much more besides.
The new Klippon® Connect terminal block with the lateral PUSH IN conductor connection combines the advantages of PUSH IN and screw connection technology.
The newly developed AIDA plug-in connector with SNAP IN connection from Weidmüller features a wide range of advantages. Thanks to SNAP IN – the fastest and safest connection technology on the market – the plug-in connector is ready for roboticinstallation quickly, easily and safely. No tools are required for assembly. This saves time and significantly reduces the risk of errors during assembly.
Weidmüller is expanding its product line of electronic housings for industrial use with the “u-maker Box” Raspberry Pi housing. Specially developed for private use, the housing can also be used in industrial switch cabinets.
Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, so we must install the appropriate charging structures. However, in many detached and multi-family houses and commercial properties, the mains connections and lines are not designed to operate charging points. This could result in costly peak loads and blackouts. The SMARTcharge intelligent load management system from Weidmüller is a reliable option for preventing overloads, and is an intelligent choice with its numerous smart functionalities.
Bipolar plates are the heart of electrolysers, which are used to produce hydrogen. Depending on the manufacturing process, stacks can consist of hundreds of such bipolar plates, whereby a single defective plate can negatively impact the performance of the entire stack. Because of this, it makes sense to monitor the voltage of each plate separately. Weidmüller has developed solutions for this purpose. With these solutions measured values can be recorded and processed reliably, safely and economically, even in potentially explosive areas.
