Why you need digital tools to elevate product quality
Quality is more than just a feature; it’s a promise of reliability, durability, and consistency.
Upholding quality is integral to any company and reflects its commitment to excellence by delivering on promises made to customers. With the demands of modern energy systems, ensuring high-voltage product reliability is more crucial than ever.
In this episode, we invited Thomas Haas, Head of Quality for the High Voltage Products business at Hitachi Energy, to share in-depth insights about how building a quality mindset, combined with leveraging digital tools, can significantly improve the reliability and performance of every component manufactured.

Does the world need F-gases?
For years, F-gases have been in the spotlight for many complex reasons – some good and some bad: they make it possible to achieve impressive things like the super reliability of our electricity supply. On the other hand, they have a downside (the high Global Warming Potential of SF6 comes to mind).
All things considered, it would be unfair to put all of these gases in the same box since they come in various types, each with distinct characteristics and applications.
Let’s unpack the nuances of F-gases in this episode with Rebecka Forward, Product Material Compliance Manager for the High Voltage Products business unit at Hitachi Energy. She breaks down everything you need to know about these gases into simple terms, their pros and cons, and their role in enabling the industry to move forward with better and more sustainable solutions.
