TAS Cloud: new toolset for Turck Automation suite

TAS Cloud simplifies condition monitoring, system management and remote maintenance for machine and system manufacturers.

Turck is expanding its Turck Automation Suite (TAS) IIoT and services software platform with the TAS Cloud industrial cloud service for remote maintenance and condition monitoring. Customers can put together their own individual cloud solution from six modules and thus also customize the billing for their services. Users only pay for services they actually use.

The Maintenance Manager in TAS Cloud sets a new standard. This service uses a modular principle and allows users to create, schedule, execute and document maintenance schedules for their machines without any programming. TAS Cloud communicates via the MQTT IIoT standard, which ensures the best connectivity with other systems and services. Maintenance technicians can monitor machine status and control functions remotely. The cloud service provides a convenient VPN connection for unrestricted access to all functions, just like in a corporate network.

With the launch of TAS Cloud, Turck now offers the second module set of the Automation Suite. The previously available TAS service tools will be further developed in the future under the name TAS Desktop. The IIoT and service platform will be completed in the medium term by TAS Edge with all necessary tools for edge computing on Turck hardware and TAS Mobile, a special version for mobile devices.

TAS Cloud can be connected via all of Turck's TX HMIs and edge controllers and the BL20 and BL67 modular I/O systems. The TBEN-L-PLC IP67 PLC will also soon be available as a client for TAS Cloud.
