TURCK, which is known for its hardware expertise, has won the “Product of the Year 2024” in the “Software & IT” award given by the technical journal Computer & Automation.
The recognition comes from readers of Computer & Automation, one of the industry’s top technical publications, underscoring the impact of Turck’s Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and service platform, Turck Automation Suite (TAS).
The award, voted by industry practitioners rather than a jury, highlights a shift within Turck.
Traditionally celebrated for hardware solutions, the company’s foray into software with TAS has resonated with professionals seeking efficient, networked automation. “This award isn’t just another accolade,” Turck’s said in a statement.
“It’s a validation from those who use these tools daily, confirming we’re on the right path with digital transformation.”
The award was given for TAS device management within industrial Ethernet networks, equipping users with batch functionalities that streamline repetitive tasks.
Firmware updates, IP configurations, and Codesys program management—once a cumbersome process done on each device—can now be executed across multiple devices simultaneously.
This time-saving approach extends to RFID tools and IO-Link functions, providing features like the IODD Configurator and the Radar Monitor for advanced monitoring and configuration.
Since launching TAS just over a year ago, Turck has regularly enhanced the platform and is now gearing up to roll out the TAS Cloud module, further expanding its capabilities.
This ongoing evolution aligns with Turck’s commitment to the IIoT landscape, marking its transition from a hardware stalwart to a forward-thinking force in digital automation.
