Maximized cost-effectivenessBased on win-win cooperation: Festo uses every instrument available for reducing the total cost of ownership with and for its partners. Using global framework agreements, for example, or services for reducing compressed air consumption and replacement parts management.

Centralized, cross-process advantages

Optimal quality through trainningFesto Didactic provides industrial training and education programs aimed to maximize the productivity and competitiveness of its customers.Festo Learning systems include optimal vocational and further training for process technology and process engineering designed to improve skills and knowledge.

Our Principle: 100% program and service quality

The highest level of efficiencyOur highest priority is consistent reduction of the time from system conception to production start up. Because it pays to save time.Festo provides the answer with products, assemblies and systems for realizing modular and scalable system concepts.When working with Festo, engineers rely on a comprehensive, fully compatible offer.A further accelerating factor is the comprehensive portfolio of engineering tools that Festo provides.

Reduce total costsOnly those who understand the challenges of pulp and paper can reduce costs and generate added value. Festo relies on detailed comprehension of the processes and structures of its partner.The products and services philosophy provides comprehensive support along the entire value creation chain.

Our Solution: Competitive advantage through complete automation systems

Integrated automation concept – easier, economic and more flexible A decentralized automation concept is for water or wastewater treatment plants more appropriate than a centralized automation concept.Because it is usually faster toimplement and commission, itis easier and saves on resources at the same time. And our decentralized automation solutions

are also absolutely reliable!In a decentralized automationconcept, in addition to the power cabinets in the control room, smaller cabinets are placed in a decentralized configuration in the plant. The remote I/Os installed and decentralized PLCs inside them process the electrical signals while valve terminals activate the actuators pneumatically.
