为了让您适应未来的新挑战,未来我们将朝哪些重点领域方向迈进?我们的目标是让您的应用自动化更简单、更可靠且更高效。所以我们热衷于在我们的所有工厂开发硬件、软件、服务和技术。在这些页面上,我们不仅会向您展示其中几款新产品,还会简要介绍几个重要领域,今年我们的工作将围绕着这几个领域展开。
可持续性是一项社会责任问题。Festo 肩负起这一责任——我们采用符合相关联合国可持续发展目标的综合方法。这贯穿于我们业务的每一个环节,从采购到工厂生产以及客户对产品的使用。正确的工程设计、高能效、高资源利用率的产品生产、节能服务以及我们的一系列技术入门和进阶培训有助于减少 CO₂ 排放,从而改善环境中的碳足迹,最终实现碳中和生产。Festo 将自动化视为在可持续发展的行业中提高效率的制胜法宝。
一个不起眼的小装置正在永远改变阀的格局:压电弯片。它是压电阀的核心,也是让压电阀保持小巧、节能、高效、快速和固有比例的原因。由于具有能够高精度地计量、混合或分配气体和液体等众多优点,压电阀正成为一种趋势。因此,压电阀在生命科学、电气工业以及其他行业中和在快速诊断移动终端中应用广泛。其紧凑的尺寸和极低的发热量也使它们适合在狭窄的空间用作先导控制装置,如在数字控制终端 VTEM 中。

Our fluid and motion technology is perfectly tailored to the needs of modern laboratory environments. And our innovative products, systems and services for the diagnostic market reduce the validation time and speed up the time to market. Our products, systems and services enable us to realise precisely the flexibility, quality and safety that every industry sector demands. This also includes maximum efficiency.
Electromobility is a growing trend: never before have as many electric cars been registered as in 2021. At the heart of every electric vehicle are lithium-ion batteries for energy storage. These are still the only available scalable technology that can be used for motion. Solutions from Festo ensure that these expensive components are produced safely and end up in the car without getting damaged.
Moving away from pneumatics and moving towards electrics or a mix of the two: one of the big automation trends in recent years has been electric automation. Demand continues to rise rapidly. Festo is responding to this demand with an offer that covers most movement options: from cost-effective and simple movement between two end positions to highly complex and flexible servo drive solutions with many synchronised axes or dynamic Cartesian robots. This portfolio is characterised by seamless connectivity: mechanically, electrically and intelligently. From the shop floor to the master controller, everything fits together. Innovative servo drive technology, direct integration in networks and clever software solutions, in combination with state-of-the-art communication and control concepts, already represent tomorrow's automation solutions.
Efficient and safe processes are the prerequisite for maximum overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). This is particularly important in highly challenging markets in order to remain competitive or even to keep ahead of the game. Artificial intelligence, or AI for short, is one of the tools that will be used to monitor and improve processes in the future. However, AI also helps to detect faults and the imminent failure of components or to improve energy efficiency. With Festo Automation Experience AX, such a tool is now available.
