Product Innovations & Technological Edge

Digital Pneumatics Revolution:

    • VTEM Motion Terminal: The world's first app-controlled valve, VTEM replaces 50+ traditional components using piezoelectric technology. It enables real-time function switching (e.g., from pressure regulation to directional control) via software, slashing hardware complexity and boosting flexibility.

    • Piezo Valves: Critical in semiconductor manufacturing, these valves offer micron-level precision, near-silent operation, and minimal energy consumption. Applications include wafer handling with zero vibration and dust suppression in cleanrooms.

Software & Ecosystem Advantages

Festo AX: An AI-driven platform for predictive maintenance, analyzing pneumatic/electric component health to cut downtime by 30%.

Handling Guide Online: Configures multi-axis handling systems in <30 minutes, generating CAD files and bills of materials instantly.

Industry-Specific Applications

  • Semiconductor: Piezo valves enable vibration-free wafer handling and precise gas control in etching processes. VTUX valve terminals streamline assembly lines.

  • Battery Manufacturing: VPPEO Negative Pressure Valve prevents electrolyte leakage during lithium-cell vacuum filling, improving yield by 25%.

  • Life Sciences: EHMD Rotary Grippers automate test tube handling in labs, adapting to varied lid pitches without retooling.

  • Food/Pharma: OVEL Vacuum Generators with IO-Link achieve clean-compliant gripping, while SupraDrive magnetic transport systems enable contactless, sterile conveying.

Vision & Sustainability

Festo invests 8% of revenue in R&D, focusing on digital twins, energy optimization algorithms, and bionics (e.g., bio-inspired grippers). Its solutions align with Industry 4.0, reducing energy use by up to 60% via efficient pneumatics and electrification

With 59 global subsidiaries and 300,000+ industrial clients, Festo merges German engineering with localized innovation—proving that automation, when intelligently fused, powers both productivity and a sustainable future.
