Focus on efficiency: Intelligent automation | Drives | Valves and valve terminals |
Innovation can be that easy. Simpler solutions are a tried and tested way
of reducing costs without compromising on productivity. To come up with
a strategy for simpler solutions, we looked at machine concepts and the
associated process sequences with leading users. The result is a signifi-
cant improvement in the relationship between input and output in many
lead users’ systems – without any losses in quality.

For you, this means more integrated and economical solutions from a
single source. That’s because Festo’s integrated automation platform
combines many different technologies that were previously separate and
can now be integrated on one platform:

The reasons for this are simple: the safety assessments of electric, pneu-
matic and mechanical components are being performed in an integrated
manner for the first time. This standardisation also has an effect on the
uniformity of the procedure and so makes evaluating the safety class
easier.

There are four stages on the path to a bionic system: identifying, evaluating
and analysing the biological principles, then translating them into basic tech-
nical principles. The bionic adaptation is then applied to the technical applica-
