Industry 4.0

At Festo, we are playing a major role in shaping the trend towards Industry 4.0. In the Scharnhausen Technology Plant, many aspects of Industry 4.0 are already a reality, while our own training factory prepares the employees of tomorrow for digitised production.

Automation in Industry 4.0
Your opportunities for the future are promising: since the Industrial Revolution, the prospects for industrial companies have never been better. A smart factory with digitally connected production systems, the Internet of Things, big data, cobots and other cyber–physical systems (CPS) all make tremendous productivity increases possible – and you have already found the right technology partner.
Factory automation and Industry 4.0
Take advantage of our expertise in factory automation, from the fundamentals of technology to complete industrial automation.

Do you want to convey expertise in the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, IT, sensors and microsystems? Our learning systems offer practical, interdisciplinary knowledge in the dynamic fields of science and technology. Using state-of-the-art technologies, you will be able to teach the interdisciplinary topics of design, planning and systems automation in a very practical way.

Didactic provides Industry 4.0 training
Employees in industry, as well as students at vocational colleges and universities, will need to be specially trained to work with Industry 4.0 systems to develop their understanding of fully automated digital production technologies, and knowledge of the layout and programming of digital system networks, says Festo Germany Industry 4.0 Platform management member Dr Eberhard Veit.
Industrial robots
An important role for Industry 4.0

Robots are a key component of automation as they pave the way for new technologies and possibilities and presents you with new challenges in training and operation. We have developed a comprehensive training concept for you, consisting of hardware, programming and simulation software as well as comprehensive training documentation.
