Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) thrive on both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and end customers. Production and the digital world are met with positive effects in terms of more flexible factory automation, greater energy efficiency, better logistics logistic management, value chain optimization, and the same for process automation.
The first valve controlled by an APP
Digitization within Industry 4.0 will dramatically change the world of production. With the Festo Motion Terminal, FESTO launches a world-wide market for the first time, a standardized platform that, thanks to the clever blend of mechanics, electronics, and software, becomes a "cyberphysical system".
This system allows maximum flexibility and flexibility
The new Festo Motion Terminal VTEM catapults the air in the Industry 4.0 era with App that can replace over 50 different components. All this is made possible by virtue of the latest developments in piezoelectric technology and software. With the rapid activation of new features through the Motion App licenses, machine designers can thus create a basic machine type and then select the various relevant apps to provide the various features and features required by the customer.
The ability to quickly and easily change the size of a single machine is at the top of the wish list of many packaging machine manufacturers and their customers. Festo's recent innovations meet these needs: with the supply of all targeted products such as the Festo Motion Terminal, it is possible to control and test the pneumatic functions via App without any modifications to the hardware. From simpler control valve control functions to more complicated motion-related functions, applications can be standardized in a simpler mode.
