Automation in the process industry

Automation in the process industry – Extreme environmental conditions and high safety requirements present the process industry with very particular challenges. At the same time, there is growing cost pressure, regulations are being tightened and requirements are ever more individualised.

How can you increase the process reliability and standardisation of your systems in future and thus optimise the efficiency, flexibility and time to market? Make use of the automation know-how and industry expertise from Festo. Take a look at Festo Solenoid Valves.

Process automation from a single source

Festo is your reliable, powerful partner for comprehensive support in process automation – with worldwide, future-proof solutions that are not limited to a specific technology. From individual components and ready-to-install solutions to integrated automation concepts, whether pneumatic, electric or in combination. Our experts will advise and support you in every phase of the project, from engineering and procurement to installation and on-site servicing.

Reliable in the harshest conditions

Bitter cold, scorching heat, high humidity, salt water or extreme UV radiation are part of the normal production environment in many sectors of the process industry. Innovative automation solutions will only make the systems more productive if the processes run reliably and safely in the long term. Components and systems from Festo are equipped for the harshest operating conditions and have been tried and tested around the world. They also meet the strictest requirements for explosion prevention and protection and functional safety (SIL).
