Seamless integration of electrics and pneumatics gives customers major competitive advantages. “Seamless Automation combines our broad-based solution portfolio with end-to-end connectivity and an intuitive digital experience for our customers,” explains Frank Notz, Chief Sales Officer at Festo. Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of seamless automation at the Festo stand in Hall 13 at the Hannover Messe.
The Seamless portfolio includes pneumatic and electric automation, software and AI. Seamless connectivity ensures seamless connectivity in the systems. This is made possible by Festo’s open system architecture – it connects individual components from different technologies. This creates uninterrupted data flows – from the individual component to the higher-level control system, including in solutions from Festo and third-party providers. The Seamless Digital Experience provides end-to-end support from design and operation to maintenance throughout the entire project. Data is transferred seamlessly.
Seamless and consistent – everything fits together
“With Seamless Automation, we are paving the way for every industrial motion requirement of our customers,” adds Sales Director Notz. Everything fits together: mechanically and digitally, from the hardware to the software and the appropriate learning programme – supplemented by the broad technological and application expertise of Festo engineers and technicians.
Consistent data flows from individual components to the control system and high compatibility thanks to open standards ensure that devices, data and hardware recognise each other and automatically work together seamlessly. Festo makes this possible through:
- standardised protocols across all technologies
- a universal modular system
- consistent system principles
- the same architecture across all modules
With Seamless Automation from Festo, users save valuable development and programming resources. This is ensured by simple and fast product selection, design and commissioning. Seamless Automation also includes Seamless Connectivity: The connectivity of data, information and technology and application knowledge enables devices to recognise each other and work together automatically. The open connectivity between hardware, mechanics and software enables simple integration into the customer’s machines and systems.
With Seamless Automation, Festo makes automation technology so simple that technology becomes an experience. The concept reduces complexity and creates clarity for intuitive solutions – to be experienced at the Festo stand in Hall 13 at the Hannover Messe.
