Pneumatics in Transition: Smart through Digitalization

Camozzi Automation and Hans E. Winkelmann GmbH have developed a proven collaboration based on trust and efficiency, with the aim of taking pneumatic drive technology to a new level through digitalization and innovation.

Pneumatics plays an essential role in automation:

Despite the flexibility and efficiency of electric drive technology, pneumatic drive technology remains a reliable and loyal partner in automation. This technology is particularly in demand in areas where precision and robustness are required. The challenge lies in combining this proven technology with modern digital solutions. This is where the two companies come in to make pneumatics fit for the digital future.

The smart cylinder project:

The smart cylinder project was launched as part of the partnership. The aim was to combine traditional pneumatics with the possibilities of modern digitalization. The result is an innovative system that improves the efficiency and precision of pneumatic cylinders and sets new standards in automation technology. The system enables pneumatic systems to be monitored, controlled and optimized in real time, making production processes faster, more accurate and more reliable.

Expansion with the valve terminal:

2025 The smart cylinder project will be further expanded. A valve terminal will also be integrated to enable even more flexibility and simplified integration into existing automation environments. This expansion strengthens the partnership and offers new solutions for future challenges in automation technology.

This continuous development and the close cooperation between Camozzi Automation and Hans E. Winkelmann GmbH form the basis for innovative, future-proof solutions in industrial automation.
