Siemens Xcelerator: Festo joins the Siemens Industrial Edge Ecosystem
Dr. Oliver Niese (Festo) and Rainer Brehm (Siemens) present the partnership at Hannover Messe 2023
Breakthrough for digital solutions in manufacturing
“We’re pleased to offer our
Festo AX Industrial apps on the Siemens Industrial Edge platform as part of our
partnership,” says Dr. Oliver Niese, who heads Digital Business at Festo. “This
gives Festo an additional sales channel for industrial customers in the areas
of mechanical engineering and production. Users benefit from the opportunity to
purchase apps from different providers in a single place, to install them and
run them at the machines on the shop floor.” Another customer benefit is the
wide range of software components that can be integrated into production in a
standardized way. IoT solutions can even be scaled across lines and factories, thus
considerably reducing manual software maintenance.
“At Siemens, we want to add
even more partners to the Industrial Edge Ecosystem, especially those in the
field of automation,” says Rainer Brehm, CEO of Factory Automation at Siemens.
“A larger selection increases flexibility for our customers, who can build individual
IoT solutions from Siemens and partner modules (Industrial Edge apps and
devices). We create the greatest value for our customers when we work together
across company boundaries.”
Analyzing data
Festo launched its
Industrial Intelligence portfolio with the Festo AX Data Access connectivity
solution, which feeds data from Festo components into Siemens Industrial Edge
to supply analysis applications with data. Customers can build a monitoring
solution based on the data and thereby improve maintenance processes, lower
their energy consumption, and improve quality. Additional industrial apps from
Festo are expected to be available on Siemens Industrial Edge, such as AI-based
wear prediction for pneumatic drives.
Self-service solution improves flexibility
Festo AX Industrial apps like AX Data Access
are building blocks that can be combined with other applications from Festo,
Siemens, and third parties to form larger solutions. They enable production
employees to independently build digital solutions for optimizing productivity.
The partnership allows Festo and Siemens to support their customers on the path
to becoming more sustainable, more flexible, and highly efficient.
