Auerbach. ZF Friedrichshafen AG has been honored with the prestigious Plus X Award for its groundbreaking energy harvesting products. The independent expert jury granted the quality seal in the categories of Innovation, High Quality, Ease of Use, Functionality, and Ergonomics, thereby recognizing the technological excellence and high user value of the solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ZF’s energy harvesting products enable battery-free and maintenance-free power supply by converting mechanical energy\u2014such as the actuation of a switch\u2014directly into electrical energy. This technology forms the basis for wireless switching systems that can be flexibly integrated into modern building and industrial applications. External power sources or batteries can be entirely dispensed with, significantly reducing both installation effort and resource consumption. With their innovative design and high-quality craftsmanship, ZF’s energy-harvesting solutions meet the highest quality standards. The products thus serve as exemplary representatives of sustainable, forward-looking technologies in the field of intelligent building control.<\/p>\n

The Plus X Award is one of the world’s most prestigious innovation awards and honors products that stand out with a clear technological advantage and tangible added value. The award underscores ZF’s commitment not only to setting technological benchmarks with its energy-harvesting products but also to actively contributing to a more efficient and sustainable use of energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
