The body and hardware still reflect HARTING's standard of perfection. That's how you gain speed and quickly digitize old machines and connect them to the cloud within a manageable cost framework. And this process begins as soon everything is working again for the client. All in all, HARTING has become faster.

There are limitations to this model of course.

Natural language processing has come a very long way since then, having burnt through a good few paradigms to get to something we can use on a daily basis.
