Automation for sustainable agriculture

Innovative technologies for all of the agricultural industry

Agriculture today is facing a host of challenges: labour shortages, rising costs and the pressure to follow sustainable practices. Festo offers advanced automation technologies that enable you to work more efficiently and at the same time protect the environment. Our solutions are designed for productivity both in protected cultivation and in the open field. With our experience in automation of more than 100 years, we are experts in pneumatics and electrical solutions. We have successfully applied this experience in the agricultural industry too, from repotting to milking robots.

High-tech and nature: intelligent technologies for outdoor cultivation

Milking robots with solutions from Festo have been demonstrating for more than 20 years how automation makes everyday life easier for farmers. Today, robot technology, camera technology and intelligent controllers handle complex tasks in plant cultivation. This reduces physical strain, time, pesticides and costs, while increasing yields and protecting the crop at the same time. This enables farmers to work more efficiently, economically and sustainably.

Festo makes agriculture smarter, easier and more efficient. Our innovations ensure high yields, while durable components reliably cope with dust, moisture and with being used continuously, whether in fields, in barns or in fruit and vegetable growing. Our systems are easy to integrate and run smoothly, for anything from gripping and moving to controlling. This allows you to get machines into the field faster, increase yields and minimise effort.
