What You’ll Experience at Automate 2026
Connected automation – from field to control
Keep your automation system flexible – without redesign
See how electric drives, remote I/O, and control systems work together in one flexible architecture—independent of network or PLC type.
Standardize your hardware while adapting control strategies as needed. Integrate faster, reduce engineering effort, and scale your system without redesign.
Your advantage
Increase system flexibility to reach maximum productivity faster
Precision motion with coordinated electric systems
Build motion systems using coordinated drives, motors, and linear axes designed for precision, speed, and flexibility.
Combine CMMT drives with EMMT motors, and electric axes like ELGD and EGC to create scalable motion architectures – from simple positioning to multi-axis systems.
These solutions deliver accurate, repeatable motion while keeping system design compact and efficient.
Your advantage
Achieve precise, repeatable motion to maximize system productivity
Reliable handling across every application
Handle a wide range of materials—from delicate components to porous or heavy products—using vacuum and gripping solutions designed for real-world variability.
Combine pneumatic and electric handling technologies to match your application requirements while maintaining stable, repeatable performance. Integrated sensing helps you monitor and optimize handling across changing conditions.
Your advantage
Maintain consistent handling to keep productivity high – even as conditions change
Efficient system design with modular valve control
Design machines using modular valve terminals like VTUX that simplify installation and reduce infrastructure complexity.
Centralize pneumatic control, integrate vacuum functions, and connect sensors and actuators through a single platform. This reduces wiring effort, shortens installation time, and creates a cleaner, more maintainable system architecture.
With direct feedback at the valve level and centralized access to components, troubleshooting becomes faster and more straightforward.
Your advantage
Reduce installation complexity to reach maximum productivity faster
Lifelong learning for the future of automation
Develop the skills needed to design, operate, and maintain modern automation systems.
Festo Didactic provides training solutions for vocational education, higher education, and industrial upskilling—helping teams stay current as technologies evolve.
From basic principles to advanced automation systems, these learning solutions bridge the gap between theory and real-world application.
Your advantage:
Build the skills needed to sustain long-term productivity
