Samtec Connectivity for Intelligent Automation in the All Electric Society

Automation is one of the driving forces behind the All Electric Society. It connects clean electrical energy with intelligent systems that can manage, optimise and react in real time. For automation systems to work well, sensors, processors, actuators and power systems all need to communicate quickly and reliably. Designers need connectors that balance performance with the durability required in automated equipment.

In robotics, precision is essential. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) often operate in harsh environments. They require connectors that ensure both power delivery and signal integrity, even in tough conditions. Samtec solutions support AMR applications, including machine vision, feedback sensors and high-current drives. Rugged contact designs such as the Samtec Tiger Eye™ retain performance even when exposed to vibration, heat and electrical noise.

Smart homes and intelligent buildings depend on distributed sensing and constant connectivity. Lighting, HVAC, security, access control and energy management all exchange data to reduce energy use and improve comfort for occupants. Samtec offers high-density solutions suited to compact devices, along with the high-speed digital links needed for dependable system coordination.

Building automation is moving towards predictive control. Systems increasingly rely on continuous streams of data from edge devices. Samtec high-speed, optical and RF technologies enable these low-latency pathways, helping building systems respond swiftly and efficiently to changing conditions.

Automation makes the All Electric Society scalable and intelligent. Samtec connectors form the essential physical layer that links sensors, controllers and power electronics. This enhances the performance and reliability of automated technologies across homes, factories and smart infrastructure.
