As the market leader and the inventor of valve terminals, we know where potential is still to be had and where there are new opportunities to exploit – to your advantage, for instance, through:
Seamless integration of valve terminals and electrical terminals in the process control system SIMATIC PCS7, making diagnostics easier.
"Valve terminals are an effective way to reduce your total cost of ownership in practice – thanks to electric and pneumatic function integration. Now, in addition to this, motion control is also integrated. The result is reduced system costs by up to 20%, and in some cases by as much as 60%"
Examples:
Shorter commissioning times thanks to Festo Plug & Work ©: Easier parameterisation due to uniform interfaces and minimised sources of error via complete integration.
Enhanced machine performance means up to ...
All in all, reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)
