The future belongs to human-robot cooperation. System builder BEC developed such a collaborative solution for Siemens Healthineers. It inserts coils weighing several tonnes precisely into the magnets of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. Electric cylinders from Festo, which ensure the coils are securely gripped, play a crucial role here.

The decentralised IO system CPX-AP-I allows compact and lightweight I/O modules as well as the decentralised valve terminals from Festo to be integrated into major host systems in a flexible and scalable way. Another advantage of CPX-AP-I is its seamless connectivity from the field level right through to the cloud, providing access to features such as predictive maintenance. This makes digitalisation incredibly easy.

Thanks to high-pressure pneumatics, stretch blow moulding machines achieve an output per blow moulding station of between 1,000 and nearly 3,000 PET bottles per hour. The key to this success is precise control using valves and valve blocks and the proper compressed air preparation. These are supplied by Festo, along with global services, from design engineering tools to operation. At drinktec in Munich in September 2022, innovative digitalisation solutions for monitoring and smart components in high-pressure applications will be on show for...

Every day, sensors in production plants collect huge amounts of data. However, companies seldom realise how valuable the correct evaluation of large amounts of data is. This creates data graves whose potential remains undiscovered. The Heubach Group had a similar experience. However, with Festo AX artificial intelligence, it was proven that benefits for maintenance, engineering and productivity can be achieved from central PID data.

Algae are small climate savers. Even in their natural state they are extremely efficient photosynthesizers and absorb ten times more carbon dioxide (CO₂) than land plants. In bioreactors equipped with appropriate sensors, control technology and automation, the efficiency of algae can be increased to a hundred times that of land plants. This shows that they have a significant potential for a climate-neutral circular economy. With the PhotoBionicCell research project Festo demonstrates a potential approach for the industrial biologisation of...

Operating costs for pneumatic equipment can be reduced by up to 60% if system operators put into practice the results and analyses of the Compressed Air Energy Efficiency Audit GFAA by Festo. Energy efficiency experts from Festo use an integrated approach to analyse the entire compressed air system, from the compressor to the application, and recommend measures to reduce energy consumption. Climate protection is also included in the service, since the cost and energy savings naturally result in lower CO2 emissions and higher productivity.

High energy prices, increasing cost pressure and the goal of climate-neutral production have pushed energy efficiency to the top of the agenda in many companies. Festo Energy Saving Services to DIN EN ISO 11011 offer a customised range of services to provide support with this topic. As part of these services, energy efficiency experts from Festo work with customers and users to identify potential savings in how compressed air is used overall and reveal solutions to reduce consumption – now even with artificial intelligence.

When it comes to reducing product-related CO₂ emissions, Festo can leverage two important aspects and also focuses on an all-encompassing approach to the CO₂ emissions caused by its products. The design of a machine lays the foundation of the CO₂ footprint at machine level. Festo supports this process first and foremost through free engineering tools. In addition, the key to a carbon-neutral future is to look at and assess CO₂ emissions from the point of view of the product, and then reduce these emissions with innovative solutions.
