The factory of the future

N��rmont relocates Festo��s headquarters

The headquarters of the control and automation expert Festo in Esslingen am Neckar with its production area of approx.30,000 square meters has become too small. It was decided to not only build a completely new plant a few kilometers away in Scharnhausen, but to also create the most advanced technology factory of the company. Festo built in Ostfildern-Scharnhausen a ��factory of the future.��

In N?RMONT Festo found a reliable partner for this relocation. The subsidiary of the Baum��ller Group has 30 years of cross-industry, international experience in new assembly and relocation of machinery and systems as well as complete plants. Besides logistics, special part production, pipeline construction, dismantling and reassembly as well as electrical installation, this also includes commissioning support and the subsequent installation service.

Human-robot cooperation in the factory of the future of Festo

The high-precision machines for machining in the new Festo factory were dismantled and reassembled in line with the timing schedule

An average of 15 N?RMONT installers worked at Festo for more than a year, until the relocation was completed in autumn of 2015. During full production, the approx. 100 partly high-precision and several tons heavy production systems were disassembled electrically and mechanically and reassembled again. ��Such relocations with as little production downtime as possible are not uncommon,�� says Klaus Prei?er, General Manager at N?RMONT, ��despite many years of experience, such projects are always a highly interesting challenge that requires exact planning.��

Thanks to the outstanding collaboration between the Nuremberg system service provider N?RMONT and Festo, the relocation is following the timing schedule. Based on the experiences of the N?RMONT installers used, work was completed faster than originally planned in many cases. All systems relocated by N?RMONT were started up to full production capacity within the shortest time.

The N?RMONT installers appreciated the compliments from the project manager level at Festo for their fast and high-quality service: ��We are completely satisfied with N?RMONT. The entire project completion was flexible, reliable, and technically flawless. We are looking forward to work again with N?RMONT in the future,�� says Markus Bellenberg, project manager at Festo.
