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 (CPS), such as 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. Read more
