Ask the Expert - Festo Seamless Connectivity for Industrial Electrical Automation

by GreigRS

Festo is an industry leader in automation innovation. Their advanced electrical automation systems are designed to enhance productivity and efficiency. In previous interviews with Festo, we talked about Pneumatics, but here we shine the light on their electrical automation solutions, paying particular attention to motor control and efficiency.  As we found out, Festo is in the unique position to offer both, air and electrical automation solutions. However, it gets really interesting when both worlds combine. Join us as we find out more.

Festo also offer a host of resources for engineers to get up and running. 

Their Automation Suite simplifies the setup, programming, and maintenance of Festo components, integrating everything into one user-friendly interface.

The Seamless Connectivity approach from Festo makes standardisation easy, regardless of which network is used.
