Together formoreenergyefficiency
Achievemore through cooperation:maximumpossibleenergyefficiency canonlybeattained if the research
effortsand theknow-howof leadingscientists, engineers, institutionsand companiesare combinedas theory
andpracticegohand inhand in this respect.
This is the reasonwhy Festo isactively involved innumerous researchprojects, initiativesand collaborations.

EMC2: EcoManufacturedTransportationMeans fromCleanand
CompetitiveFactory
A researchproject of theEuropeanCommunity fundedby theSeventh
FrameworkProgramme. Theobjective is todevelop concepts for facto-
rieswhichare intended inparticular to improveenergy-intensivepro-
ductionprocesses in theautomotive, aviationand railway industries.
TheGreenCarbodyproject: planning theefficient useof compressed
air in thebodyshop
A researchproject of theGerman FederalMinistryof Educationand
Research (BMBF) targetedat “Research for futureproduction”.
Energy requirements for pneumaticdrive technology in thebodyshop
need tobe reducedbybetter coordinationbetweenenergysuppliers
and consumers.
EnEffAH: Energyefficiency inproduction in thefieldof driveand
handling technology
A joint projectwithin the frameworkof theGermangovernment’s
energy researchprogramme. Development ofmethods, toolsand
products for energy-efficient automation, i.e. the right technology
andefficient operation.
ESIMA:Optimised resourceefficiency inproduction throughenergy-autonomoussensorsand interactionwithmobileusers
A joint project of theGerman FederalMinistryof Educationand
Research (BMBF) dealingwith“Energyself-sufficientmobility–
reliable, energyself-sufficient systems formobilepeople”.Hardware
andsoftwaremodules for simplifying interactionbetweenpeopleand
machines inorder to create transparencyat anymoment about
machinestatusesand theuseof resources. Thismakes it easier to
optimiseproductionplants.
