在 NextGen 生命科学自动化领域，Festo 正致力于开发面向医疗技术和实验室自动化的新解决方案。在 2026 年汉诺威工业博览会上，Festo 和 德国弗劳恩霍夫制造工程与自动化研究所将展示用于 CAR-T 细胞疗法中细胞修饰工艺步骤的盒式结构。自动化技术大大缩短了生产时间，降低了成本，使定制的癌症疗法更快、更便宜，并为更多患者所用。

Compact, customised manifold plates for precise fluid control: Diffusion Bonded Manifolds enable individualised, contamination-free fluidic solutions using an adhesive-free joining process. The technology complements existing standard components and is aimed in particular at applications in medical technology, diagnostics, laboratory automation and food analysis.

Festo is expanding its portfolio to include multilayer manifolds made of plastic (bonded manifolds) in order to be able to offer manufacturers of medical and laboratory equipment solutions from a single source. To this end, Festo is taking over the production systems and processes for manufacturing these complex plastic manifolds from Carville, a leading company in this field.

No one enjoys going to the dentist; young children even less so. To help future dentists and dental assistants deal with children during dental treatments, the Japanese company tmsuk has developed a humanoid robot that realistically simulates the behaviour of young children during these treatments, complete with fidgeting, flinching or closing the mouth. The dummy’s realistic movements are produced using proportional pressure regulators with piezo technology from Festo.
