Key Highlights

Three representatives from the fluid power industry share their insights on how digitalization is being implemented in hydraulics and pneumatics to enable the creation of smarter and more efficient systems.
Embedded electronics and controls, digital communication protocols, and software are some of the key technologies driving this shift.
While digitalization presents many opportunities for the fluid power industry, there are also several adoption challenges which need to be addressed such as market hesitation, data security concerns and perceived reliability risks.

Digitalization of fluid power components and systems is increasing to enhance connectivity, data collection and more. This is being enabled through the integration of sensors, software, IoT (the Internet of Things), artificial intelligence and other technologies.

In this on-demand webinar, which originally aired February 26, 2025, a panel of industry experts from the hydraulics and pneumatics industry will offer their insights on how digitalization is being employed as well as influencing future fluid power designs. They touch on the benefits of employing digitalization, examples of how they are seeing it deployed in the fluid power industry as well as opportunities and challenges with this industry trend.

Panelists featured in this webinar include:

Frank Langro, Director of Product Market Management, Pneumatic Automation, North America - Langro currently leads a multi-national team at Festo and has represented the company in multiple areas in support of the advancement of automation, and in particular fluid power, as a member of the National Fluid Power Association as well as being an Industrial Advisory Board member for the CCEFP (Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power).
Marcus Pont, CEO, Domin - Pont is an expert in mechanical engineering, focusing on high performance hydraulic valves and systems. He brings this expertise to Domin which is on a mission to improve the hydraulics industry by increasing efficiencies up to 90% and saving billions of tons of carbon.
Nate Keller, Ph.D., Business Development Manager, Moog Construction - Keller uses his experience with electric and hydraulic systems to work with a number of off-highway OEMs at Moog Cosntruction, part of Moog Inc., to help them understand how to develop a new generation of construction vehicles.
