The online shop serves as a central, convenient platform that enables customers to access and order products at any time, from anywhere. In today's digitalised industrial environment, having instant access to products, spare parts, and automation solutions is critical for successful operations. Festo's solutions extend their offering from just buying online to servicing their customers online.

With the personalised “MyFesto“ dashboard, Festo customers have a central overview of their current offers and service requests. Additionally, customers can access all project-related product data through “MyFesto Projects“. Looking ahead, Festo users can expect an even greater experience with the introduction of the System Configurator, which will provide a single, central gateway to the entire world of Festo engineering tools.

The System Configurator provides a comprehensive suite of design tools, enabling customers to design, select, size, and configure their individual automation systems as a complete machine topology. Users can also configure specific components or entire load cases, from PLCs, drive controllers, and remote I/Os in the AP network, through to IO-Link devices. This enables customised automation solutions that are precisely tailored to the respective requirements. The System Configurator enables faster, smarter, and more intuitive design, configuration, and integration than ever before.

Seamless collaboration

The System Configurator enables the storage and management of projects, parts lists, and design data, seamlessly integrating into “MyFesto Projects". This enables different departments within the customer's company to collaborate on the same project. By providing shared access to project data, this fosters seamless collaboration across the customer’s teams. Various functions, such as those of development engineers and purchasers, can have access to the same data during the ordering process.

However, that's not all; consistent data management via Projects enables the direct import of design data into the Festo Automation Suite, facilitating the efficient commissioning of devices. This consistency offers several advantages, as it facilitates the transition from planning to implementation, significantly reducing the time required for commissioning and, at the same time, reducing susceptibility to errors.

In this way, Festo guides customers through every stage of the value creation process, transforming complexity into seamless progress, from planning and development through to procurement, commissioning, and maintenance. This makes the implementation of projects considerably faster, simpler and more efficient.

Festo literally takes customers by the hand along the entire value creation process – from planning, development and procurement through to commissioning and maintenance. This makes the implementation of projects considerably faster, simpler and more efficient.
