The Productivity Master platform from Festo is designed to show how digital manufacturing can offer customers individualized products created by a fully automated process, from order placement to delivery.

The platform is said to seamlessly connect all handling hardware and software to create a digitalized production line that can be monitored by anyone from anywhere but is otherwise hands off from the vendor’s perspective.

It requires no human interaction with the customer and only such intervention as is necessary to maintain the system. All components, axis mechanics and software are planned as a complete system.

Since all parts fit together optimally, the engineering time to develop such a system is shortened and process reliability enhanced. The first production line was designed using Festo’s digital engineering tools, with digital twins included.
