Efficient data flow: working hand-in-hand to the cloud
Benefit from digital value creation between the shop floor and the cloud — with TURCK's end-to-end IIoT architecture from a single source
IIoT connects worlds: seamless data communication between the sensor and the cloud
Digitalization is entering more and more industrial areas. Technologies such as IO-Link, RFID and Ethernet increase the data volume from the machine environment many times over; cloud services enable mobile access worldwide. But how do you extract the information that is really relevant to you from the Internet of Things – without overloading networks or exposing protected content? TURCK's answer: with networked sensors, efficient Edge Controllers and simple cloud solutions – in short: with decentralized automation.
Decentralized preprocessing transforms big data into smart data by filtering it specifically. This allows you to use parameters, process values or status messages specifically and safely for the purpose of your application, for example for condition monitoring. But the end-to-end networking of sensors with higher-level IT systems such as clouds opens up many more possibilities for you. For example, bidirectional communication allows remote access to devices and plant segments, which pays off in global service deployments. In addition, high data availability paves the way for completely new processes in production, logistics and supply chain management.
Discover TURCK's future-proof IIoT architecture, from rugged sensors, powerful I/O devices and Edge Controllers to customized cloud applications.

Smart data suppliers with advanced functions
Sensors detect fluids, measure paths and distances, and detect a wide variety of objects. In short, they generate valuable data that can now be used specifically for machine processes. Take advantage of the benefits of extended device features for condition monitoring of variables such as vibration or temperature using a single sensor. The IM18 control cabinet monitor from TURCK has three sensors and transmits measured values to the IT world via Ethernet.
With IO-Link, sensors become communicating system nodes. Digital communication means users not only get better information from sensors and actuators, but can also make it more easily available to applications in MES, ERP and cloud systems. Reading out internal memories, recording statuses, making diagnoses, and identifying and locating components are all tasks that can be solved easily with IO-Link.
