Everyone must play a part
Energy efficiency is more than just a concept. It must be an
integral part of a company’s mission and vision. It affects every
single employee in the company – whether they are in research
and development, production, service or consulting. Here,
Festo employees from different departments provide some
insights.
Energy efficiency has become an essential
part of any production and assembly opera-
tion. All of our plants worldwide are working hard
to deliver energy efficiency – starting at the factory
and plant planning stage. The result is factories in
which we consistently monitor our consumption
data with an energy monitoring system or generate
energy using sunlight. By taking such steps we are
gradually becoming less vulnerable to the
effects of rising energy prices.
With Festo Energy Saving Services, we are
providing our customers with the tools
to permanently reduce their energy consumption –
from compressed air production through to
application with professional analyses and
optimisation concepts. The amortisation
periods for our projects are no more than
two years, and are often less than one year.

Our customers in the process industries
are also looking for energy-efficient
solutions. A recent example is the wastewater
treatment plant in Sindelfingen, which is now
much more energy-efficient thanks to conver-
sion to pneumatic automation solutions from
Festo. Our customer has achieved electrical
energy savings in the region of
10% for the operation of large pumps.
