- Festo AX Data Access app available on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace
- Connectivity solution helps to drive productivity and sustainability
- Siemens Industrial Edge Ecosystem continues to grow: More apps from Festo being planned
Siemens Xcelerator, the open digital
business platform, creates an open ecosystem for collaboration between
customers, Siemens, and certified partners, from large technology companies to
independent software developers. Festo and Siemens announced their latest
partnership at this year’s Hannover Messe trade fair. Festo has joined the
