8th bi-annual 2022 vector awards for
innovative energy supply systems

The vector awards recognize unique applications with energy supply systems. These applications can be implemented with multifaceted cable carriers and cables. Modern plastic cable carriers have for 50 years ensured the safe, reliable supply of energy, data, signals, and media while remaining in continuous motion. They can be used universally, from cranes to machine tools, from industrial robots to laboratory technology. The cables and their carriers must be constantly reinvented to meet high demands, such as dynamic speeds, compact installation spaces, heavy additional loads, and cleanrooms. Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions called smart plastics prepare the cable carrier for Industry 4.0.
