The Festo Motion Terminal VTEM: A Building Block for Smart Factories

The age of smart factories, or Industry 4.0, is on the rise. As a result of this evolution, manufacturers are looking to boost the simplicity, versatility and flexibility of machine systems and components—and this includes pneumatic systems. Cyber-physical systems like the Festo Motion Terminal VTEM can help manufacturers meet these new demands. In fact, this technology promises to propel pneumatics further into the age of Industry 4.0 in a way traditional mechatronic systems fall short.

With its enhanced capabilities, the Motion Terminal does away with the need for up to 50 components that are essential in traditional pneumatics. That's a major time and money saver in design, installation, operations, maintenance and procurement. With VTEM apps, pneumatic systems can be perpetually self-adjusting and self-optimizing, more energy efficient and easily upgradable. Simplified design means new products get to market faster. Digital pneumatics. It's the future – available now.
