Process automation refers to any application where the flow of fluid is controlled and is found across multiple industries. Festo's process automation systems support all levels of the automation pyramid, including the control architecture (piloting valves, remote I/O, HMIs, PLCs) and the field level components (process valves and automation accessories). Our comprehensive solutions ensure efficiency, simplicity, and security making Festo your reliable partner for process applications.
Modern manufacturing and processing facilities demand more than just control. They require improvements in efficiency, safety, and productivity which all contribute to boosts in profitability.
By automating routine operations and integrating system data into a central platform, manufacturers can free up operator time, reduce human error, and ensure production continuity.
Festo process automation products provide precise performance, rugged reliability, and seamless control at every level of the automation pyramid — from top-level operations down to field-level devices — to provide all the benefits associated with automated fluid process control.
Festo’s comprehensive process automation catalog includes all the operator-, control-, and field-level solutions and accessories required for industrial fluid process control. It also features three powerful online configurator tools that enable customers to build automated ball valves, actuated butterfly valves, and quarter-turn actuator assemblies.
With Festo, your automation systems are engineered for high performance, long-term reliability, and seamless integration into your existing infrastructure.
For years, Festo has been developing process automation solutions for a broad range of industry sectors. By transferring our experience from one industry to another, we take advantage of valuable synergies and expand our offering to provide complete solutions.
Actuated ball valves: Festo has matched torques and mounting interfaces for these readily available assemblies, ensuring a working solution every time.
Our process automation courses focus on maintenance strategies and lean production techniques, equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to optimize industrial processes efficiently.
Festo provides end-to-end solutions, including both field level components (like process valves, actuators, pilot valves, positioners, and limits switches) and control architecture (like valve terminals, remote I/O, PLCs and HMIs). Our systems are modular and scalable, suitable for both new installations and retrofits.
