Intelligent compact vision systems reduce investment and production costs Quality and price are the factors that influence buying decisions. For food manufacturers operating on small profits, this can often mean a delicate balancing act. One way to resolve this dilemma is to monitor food production using compact vision systems. These can significantly reduce investment and production costs.

Stop the waste! Compressed air preparation is not exactly a hot topic for plant operators. As a result, carelessly maintained compressed air systems waste energy and result in premature wearing of high-quality pneumatic valves and drives. Festo is now launching a push for greater compressed air efficiency.
