Festo at the Expo 2010 in Shanghai

Balancity – a city in balance – is the general topic for the German Pavilion at the Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China. The most important component of the exhibition will be the “Energy Source”. Resource and energy efficiency – for now and the future – is also a key topic for Festo. With the aid of biomechatronics, Festo aims to detect new technologies and make its products even more intelligent and efficient. The Pavilion sections “Factory” and “Depot” will feature innovations created by German companies. Festo will be exhibiting its AquaPenguin and BionicTripod. With the aid of bionic principles, these energy-efficient Future Concepts provide an impetus for tomorrow’s green manufacturing methods. In the “Depot”, exhibits are displayed in a kind of store room or trading area for goods. The “Factory” is a room which is constantly in motion. Visitors are conveyed along moving walkways and can pass through interactive scanner stations, where they can access information in the form of films.
