It was also remarkable how carefully and comprehensively the project was thought out overall.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its reasoning for the award for the PCB terminal block, the jury emphasized that with &#8220;SPT modular&#8221; Phoenix Contact had for the first time implemented an end-to-end digital process chain from the configurator to production. At the end of a configuration, all the data required for the design in the process and ordering process is available, it said.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.german-innovation-award.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">German Innovation Award<\/a>, the German Design Council honors cross-industry products and solutions that distinguish themselves primarily through user-centeredness and added value compared to previous solutions.
