en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 2026 WOD Manufacturing Digitalization and Intelligence Expo was held from June 3 to 5 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Festo, a global automation company with over a century of technological expertise, appeared at booth E1-D01 under the theme "Embrace Digital Transformation, Intelligently Connect the Industrial Future," showcasing applications such as AI-powered predictive maintenance, production maintenance management, product configuration and selection, and a digital learning portal. The company created an immersive smart experience zone aimed at helping enterprises achieve intelligent upgrades across the entire production process.
At the expo, Festo demonstrated the various capabilities of the Festo AX software through different application scenarios, including real-time energy consumption monitoring and leak prediction, as well as a one-click deployable "plug-and-play" predictive maintenance service compatible with mainstream market products. Its digital energy management platform integrates IoT, edge computing, and AI analysis technologies, supporting energy efficiency management from the equipment level to the production line and factory level, meeting the demands for cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and green transformation. For complex operating conditions, Festo added a vacuum predictive maintenance software covering plant vacuum and vacuum generator scenarios, capable of identifying anomalies such as suction cup wear, loose piping, and vacuum generator damage in advance, thereby reducing the risk of dropped parts and minimizing manual inspections and unplanned downtime.
Festo AX Smartenance is a computer-aided maintenance management system (CMMS) software that integrates repair, maintenance management, and machine logs into a single solution. The system enables on-demand access to machine-related information through a web application for maintenance or production managers and a mobile application designed for maintenance engineers and machine operators. Festo supports customized development, with cloud data achieving seamless connectivity, covering equipment data integration, data analysis, and data presentation.
To assist customers in designing solutions and selecting components, Festo showcased its self-developed digital drawing software FluidDraw, FluidSim, and the product configurator Configon. FluidDraw can be used to quickly draw pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical circuit diagrams in compliance with industry norms and standards. FluidSim is a simulation software for dynamic simulation, verification, and teaching demonstrations of pneumatic, electrical, or hydraulic systems. Additionally, by integrating data, users can create custom databases to obtain detailed Festo product data and component information, achieving intelligent management. Configon is an installation-free product configurator that allows users to easily and accurately configure complex products in a 2D/3D environment based on drawn schematics, significantly optimizing the entire process from planning and quotation to production.
Festo also launched the Festo Learning Experience online portal, a platform that allows learners and instructors to access and create personalized learning plans. The courses cover multiple industrial fields and include high-quality standardized learning resources and industry expertise from Festo Didactic, aiming to cultivate skilled talent with both theoretical knowledge and practical abilities.
