The Path the More Sustainable Business

Successful Electrification and Networking at WAGO

One of the great challenges that companies face lies in switching their office and production environments over to sustainable, networked, electrified solutions. WAGO’s success provides a clear example of how specific measures can help a company successfully orient itself towards sustainability while also supporting its industrial customers on with the right product portfolio and know-how as they work towards the same goal.

At a Glance:

  • Organizing Intelligent Power Distribution

  • WAGO Uses Its Own Portfolio of Solutions

  • Investing in Sustainability

These days, sustainability is one of the most important aspects of corporate management. Whether it is a startup, an exchange-listed conglomerate, or anything in between – every company needs to consider its own actions carefully. That is a complex task: Many different forms of sustainable business need to be taken into account and provided with concrete, measurable methods. Specific steps are then required for gradual, structured implementation of these methods. WAGO has also chosen this approach and has embedded it within its corporate objective of making sustainability an integral component of all business decisions.

As a manufacturer of electrical interconnection and automation technology, WAGO possess a unique combination of hardware, software and engineering expertise that helps automate industries around the world. Headquartered in Minden, Germany, the company has customers who demand integrated solutions for efficient, cost-effective production, as well as assurances that their OT systems will be future-proof and reliable. This fits perfectly with the company’s vision: “WAGO is the backbone of a sustainable and smart connected world.” Through these efforts, WAGO supports the transition to a renewable and sustainable society.

Organizing Intelligent Power Distribution

The conventional path of power distribution from the power plant, to the energy supplier, to the grid connection point is changing radically – and the roofs of production halls are just one place this change can be seen. However, this transition creates new challenges, such the necessity of safeguarding the power supply. Lukas Dökel knows how to maintain stability in the grid, despite the volatility caused by decentralized generation and consumption of electricity. As Head of Automation Sales & Industry Management for EMEA in the Smart Factory division at WAGO, he is the contact person for industrial customers who are actively involved in power supply conversion and optimization. “Renewable energy generation on companies’ own roofs, CHP plants on the premises or electricity from a new wind turbine in the neighboring community – such changes require internal and external infrastructure to be managed differently than before,” says Dökel, adding: “In such situations, my colleagues and I have the right answers.”
