Efficiency is crucial in manufacturing, driving continuous innovation in PCB connection technology. Tool-free Push-in and lever Push-in systems are already easy to use. Building on this, the new Push-X technology introduces a mousetrap-style mechanism for even faster, tool-free connections.
How is the industry looking in Germany?
A significant research collaboration between Phoenix Contact and Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, led to a new scientific study illustrating profound industry changes, spearheaded by Dr. Fabian Bertelsmeier of Phoenix Contact.
In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, smooth and efficient production is vital—yet PLC backup and restore procedures, a critical component, are often overlooked.
PLC backup-and-restore procedures are vital for maintaining manufacturing system integrity. In addition, they ensure that the latest software is used, and preventing costly downtime. With cybersecurity in mind, asset management forms a key foundation, while device and update management—enhanced by backup and restore capabilities—is essential to a proactive, consistent security strategy.

The PLCnext Factory in Bad Pyrmont demonstrates that analyzing minimal process data with Phoenix Contact’s advanced technologies can yield significant savings.
Bad Pyrmont, a scenic town in Germany’s Weserbergland region, is home to Phoenix Contact’s PLCnext Factory—a cutting-edge automation facility. It tests and implements new technologies like the Industry 4.0-based Digital Factory and net-zero carbon concepts. The factory also produces the very technologies that will power future production systems.
With rising electricity consumption and the integration of diverse energy sources, battery storage systems are increasingly coming into focus. Consequently, residential, industrial, and utility-scale storage systems—defined by their battery storage capacity—are increasingly used. Industrial and utility storage systems, whether stationary or distributed, store valuable wind and solar energy.
E-mobility is crucial for a sustainable future in the All Electric Society. However,its acceptance depends on abundant charging points, low maintenance costs, and short charging times. Therefore, electrical connection technology is key to enhancing these aspects.
In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, efficiency and versatility are crucial. The THERMOMARK CARD, a Thermal transfer printer designed by Phoenix Contact offers a reliable, portable marking solution for managing wiring systems, organizing terminal blocks, and ensuring clear device labeling.
