Festo‘s bionic projects illustrate how networking and real-time communication can work in process automation. At ACHEMA 2015, the 31st international trade fair for process industry taking place from the 15th to the 19th of June in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Festo will present two of those projects at once. In hall 8, stand C72 Festo shows the autonomous, swimming jellyfish AquaJellies 2.0; in hall 11, stand G44 the floating eMotionSpheres. Both projects use principles from nature and demonstrate how these can be applied in automation technology.
