TQ-Systems supplies the industry with tailor-made embedded and automation solutions. The company will be showcasing some of these at the virtual industry trade fair Computer&AUTOMATION world & conference. In addition to the latest embedded systems such as the TQMxE40 embedded module family with the new Intel Atom x6000E, visitors can expect to see solutions from the field of robotics. According to TQ-Systems, the interaction between embedded and robotics in particular opens up a wide range of possibilities in process automation.

Artificial intelligence and high-speed communication

Bringing more intelligence to the field level is probably the best way to summarize the trend in the coming months. TQ-Systeme is focusing its technology in the embedded environment on the areas of AI, real-time (keyword TSN) and high-speed communication. Here, the company will offer a wide range of embedded modules that support up to 100 Gbit Ethernet under industrial operating conditions, for example. An important goal for the company is to offer developers the opportunity to integrate the latest processor technology quickly and easily into their applications. For this reason, many new embedded modules with the latest Arm and x86 processors are being launched. At system level, modular platforms and customer-specific design-in solutions are also offered.

In the field of automation, users can expect more and more practical solution packages with which they can, for example, implement cobot-based process automation independently in their production areas. In order to be able to quickly automate even complex processes and tasks with cobots including sensor connection, the company also offers specially developed TQ apps. The current coronavirus situation severely restricts face-to-face interaction on site. Compared to purely online measures such as mailings, website offers, postings and on-demand online training, a personal virtual exchange at least offers the opportunity to respond directly to individual requirements, wishes and personal feedback. In contrast to face-to-face events, virtual events and meetings make it much easier to have a wide range of experts available for detailed questions and technical discussions. The individual exchange of information and documents is usually very easy in virtual environments, especially when chat functions are available. Different locations can be integrated simultaneously and without additional effort. The virtual exchange offers much more freedom in scheduling and is usually also accessible to many more employees, as travel time and costs are eliminated. This means that many more interested parties can be reached and potential partners can be found more easily.
