Do you find yourself losing time, money, and patience integrating devices from multiple suppliers? You’re not alone. It’s one of the key challenges machine builders and system integrators face, presenting a series of hurdles throughout the project lifecycle. The need for a long-term partnership is essential to navigate these challenges effectively.
As a partner of the Rockwell Automation Technology Program, Festo eliminates these pain points with intelligent pneumatics and other related automation products and tools to solve your application challenges. Combined with Rockwell Automation, we provide solutions that cover the entire project lifecycle, from proposal writing to commissioning, operation, and post-sales support. Our expertise in this strategic partnership enhances our capability to deliver exceptional results.
Integrated Architecture Builder Program
Festo is enrolled in the Integrated Architecture Builder program from Rockwell Automation, a free software tool that greatly assists system integrators during the proposal writing stage.
This resource allows you to layout and validate control systems and generate proposals and BoM's. You can also take advantage of the tool’s advanced selection assistance and a graphical interface for designing systems, which is crucial for expanding your operational objectives.
Festo valve terminals, safety valves, and other referenced products are included in the Integrated Architecture Builder, helping you accelerate your proposal creation and reduce your time to commission. By leveraging our strategic resources, you can optimize your project outcomes.
Festo Maintenance Tool
Festo provides solutions to support machine builders through the commissioning stage, ensuring that our valve terminals interface with Rockwell control systems as seamlessly as possible.
Our Festo Maintenance Tool (FMT) offers an export to a L5K file, embedding a CPX valve terminal configuration directly into your software, including description notes and parameter values. Less sophisticated valve terminals for EtherNet/IP or IO-Link have an Enable Key from Rockwell to provide Premier Integration. Whether used for commissioning, configuration, or extended diagnosis, FMT is a helpful tool for simplifying the building process and enhancing your strategic partnership with us.
Digitalization
At Festo, we understand the vital role digitization plays in optimal machine operation, and we have the state-of-the-art tools and solutions to take full advantage of the “fourth industrial revolution.” Our expertise in digitalization extends the capability of our strategic partnerships to ensure success.
We offer the world’s first digital pneumatic valve terminal, the VTEM, which is configured with Apps and can be used to optimize energy efficiency and flexibility. All Festo solutions provide best-in-class diagnostics to support maintenance, troubleshooting, and instructions for easy integration with a Rockwell controller. Festo also provides Encompass Referenced safety solutions for pneumatics.
Digitization extends to our post-sales support. You can access our comprehensive manuals and a global MRP system from anywhere on the globe, with just a click of the mouse. Additionally, our digital tools, such as QR codes for unique product keys, support the exact configuration of our automation products.
