The game-changing Festo Motion Terminal is one of the new technologies customers can see demonstrated at the new Festo Experience Center in Santa Clara, CA.

Festo customers can now see virtual demonstrations of the company’s automation solutions at the Festo North American Experience Center in Santa Clara, CA. Recently opened, this 5,000-square-foot demonstration pavilion blends Festo’s mastery of automation technology with Silicon Valley’s culture of high tech and innovation.

Santa Clara provides the perfect setting for Festo to showcase its latest automation solutions, with the growing links between producing things and controlling processes through cloud computing and Big Data.

Virtually experience processing systems

The Festo Experience Center includes a demonstration hall that contains augmented-reality devices through which visitors can virtually experience Festo manufacturing and processing systems already being used in a variety of industries, from medical technology and laboratory automation to food packaging, semiconductors and electronics, solar and flat panel, assembly and test, and process automation. The hall also has rotating exhibits that showcase active and static displays of the company’s newest automated solutions for manufacturing and processing. In addition, there is a laboratory for focused customer solutions, as well as training and meeting areas.

Festo’s U.S. president, Richard J. Huss, says the Experience Center will bring the company closer to its customers in many industries while paving the way for new strategic relationships. “From a solutions-development perspective,” he adds, “Festo teams will be enriched by being in the heart of one of the most dynamic innovation incubators in the world.

“All of this energy will be put toward helping customers make things and control processes better, faster, and with greater flexibly.”

Among the demonstrations planned at the Center:

  • Modular and reconfigurable systems that conform to Industry 4.0 concepts;
  • Cyber-physical devices that change functionality based on downloadable apps;
  • Predictive analytics relying on smart sensors, Big Data concepts, and connectivity to the cloud to alert teams to system failures in advance;
  • Cloud-based dashboards and data analytics that facilitate optimum overall equipment and process effectiveness;
  • Manufacturing/processing solutions for optimum energy efficiency;
  • Online tools for bringing products to the market more quickly, with lower engineering overhead.

The Experience Center is the ideal showcase for Festo’s automation solutions.
