Product design with special significance

The MOTUS C14 is the latest interpretation of Wöhner's own product design language including the typical organical touch. The electronic motor starter is characterised by a slim and compact housing design. Translucent materials make technology and functionalities visible. For the digital display and interaction requirements, an operating concept via OLED display and an interactive, LED-guided maintenance and fault management were developed, enabling safe operation.
