DESCRIPTION:Salvatore DE BENEDICTIS (KOMP-ACT)\nCompressed air is typicall
 y one of the main consumers of energy in a plant. The overall efficiency o
 f a compressed air system can be as low as 10%-15%. Despite this\, devices
  such as linear actuators - using compressed air - are the industry standa
 rd\, used in manufacturing facilities worldwide. From pharma to electronic
 s\, from automotive and robotics to the food & packaging industry\, pneuma
 tic actuators are used on automated machines to produce every type of good
 s.\n\nKOMP-ACT's mission is to accelerate the transition to a fully electr
 ic and sustainable industrial automation by developing innovative electric
  technologies. KOMP-ACT’s solutions are cost-effective\, compact sized a
 nd lightweight\, and can directly replace the compressed air systems curre
 ntly used to supply actuators and other devices. We look forward to reduci
 ng (in Europe alone) energy waste and CO2 emissions amounting to 4 BEUR an
 d 50 Million Tons per year respectively.\n\nFurthermore\, pneumatic device
 s are also used in other industries such as aeronautics and transportation
 .\n\nOur long-term goal is to make our technology the new standard for eve
 ry industry from ground to space.\n\nMore information on: www.komp-act.com
