Product design is all about form and function, both of which are well understood at Phoenix Contact as innovators of smart device connection technology. The connector is an integral part of any device and, if carefully selected, can enhance and improve the functionality and usability of the device.

Within industry, energy costs are continually increasing. As a result reducing energy costs is becoming increasingly important in terms of providing companies with a major competitive advantage in the areas of production, process and industrial engineering.
Alongside energy consumption, the quality of the energy supplied, the reliability of the supply and effective system utilisation are also important in ensuring profitability. These factors call for continuous measurement and monitoring off all sources of energy.

So here we are once again with my last blog of 2013 so I thought I would highlight not only a very innovative technology but also a very new market. Building-integrated photovoltaics, or BIPV as it’s more commonly known, is the latest trend in energy development using solar technology.
Conventional building materials such as windows, roofing, shading elements, etc. are being replaced with photovoltaic modules. This trend satisfies the future requirements that buildings will need to meet, namely, not only to use less energy but also to actively provide energy. BIPV usually involves difficult installation conditions where the space available for laying cables is very restricted in most cases.
