Dosing, aspirating and controlling extremely small quantities of aggressive liquids and gases is not a problem with the media-separated solenoid valve VYKA from Festo. This compact powerhouse has a width of only 7 mm and can dose and aspirate the extremely small amounts of liquid very precisely. It also meets the strict requirements for leak-tightness for gas applications.

Seeds are the new gold. Why is that? Plant-based foods can feed an ever-growing world population. But climate change, pests and diseases threaten plant breeding. To help develop resistant seeds and make them available to agriculture, plant breeders need vast amounts of DNA. That is precisely why Synchron Lab has developed the "DNA factory", which is automated with handling gantries, electric axes, pneumatic grippers and sensors from Festo.

According to estimates, by 2025 some 600,000 tons of used batteries from electric passenger cars need to be recycled. Since batteries are energy storage devices made from valuable raw materials, this inevitably raises the question of sustainability. Festo therefore offers modular automation concepts not only for cell producing, assembling battery modules and packs, and platform integration, but also for disassembling and recycling or separating the materials.

The production of tyres and the production of wafers seem to have absolutely nothing to do with each other. In terms of automation technology, however, they use the same technology: Controlled Pneumatics. That is why Festo has further developed compressed air technology to make pneumatics sustainable, resource-saving and energy-efficient.

Als de coronapandemie ons iets heeft geleerd, dan is het wel dat laboratoria grote behoefte hebben aan een hoge doorvoer van monsters. Zelfs met hooggekwalificeerd laboratoriumpersoneel is het niet meer mogelijk om aan deze vraag te voldoen. Laboratoriumprocessen konden niet langer om de automatisering heen. Daarom heeft het Nederlandse bedrijf MolGen de Pureprep TTR ontwikkeld die 320 patiëntmonsters per uur kan prepareren voor verdere moleculaire verwerking. Ook aan boord: laboratoriumspecifieke automatiseringstechniek van Festo.
