In our expert video "From the control level to the field level – automation solutions for hydrogen production", Reiner Laun, Hydrogen Global Industry Segment Manager at Festo, explains how decentralised automation benefits customers.
Hydrogen is highly reactive. That is why decentralised automation must be safe and reliable,in potentially explosive areas too. Festo offers specially certified components for Ex zones as well as solutions for non-explosion-proof environments. For maximum safety during electrolysis.
A decentralised system may seem complex, but it is often simpler in everyday operation. It has clearly structured modules, is easy to expand, and the direct access to field devices makes maintenance and disassembly easier. Festo supplies pre-configured, tested solutions on request – ready for immediate use.
Festo offers you an personalised and coordinated product portfolio for decentralised automation. Working with just one partner has many advantages: You reduce the number of suppliers, lower your planning, procurement and operation costs and have a contact person who knows you.
