Festo is displaying some exciting new development concepts in handling and positioning at PPMA 2012, on stand B72, hall 5. In addition, Festo Training & Consulting will be sponsoring the show's "The Ones to Watch' awards, and visitors to the stand will have the opportunity to meet Festo Food & Beverage specialists, who will be on hand to discuss automation challenges in the food and packaging industry.
"The Ones to Watch' awards identify the processing and packing machinery industry's next generation of stars and celebrate promising young professionals who have already made an impression. The prize for winners is the chance to further develop their knowledge and skills by participating in a number of training courses worth up to 9500.
Each year Festo invests more than 8.5 per cent of turnover in R&D, and the company is working with leading research and educational establishments looking to nature for inspiration on improving productivity in automation. The company's new advanced handing and kinematic robot systems achieve just this and are suitable for use in the food and beverage sectors.
Nature shows in a wide variety of ways how improved performance can be achieved with reduced energy consumption. By transferring these principles to the development of new technological methods and innovation processes, engineers can better understand how automation systems can be more efficient.
