On the shopfloor, machines not only deliver products, but also large amounts of data that are converted into information using artificial intelligence in such a way that they show humans specific optimization potential . Initial successes are visible: in hundreds of customer applications, solutions from the Festo AX Industrial Intelligence portfolio have reduced unplanned downtimes by up to 25 % and cut waste by 20 %.

Festo is now making it even easier for its users: the functions of the classic valve terminals CPV, MPA-L/S and VTUG are now available under the umbrella of the convertible valve terminal VTUX. In addition, the AP-I and AP-A communication system creates the ideal platform for digitalized production. This brings flexibility and openness - true to the motto "Open Architecture".
