Turck relies on cloud solution from Beck IPC
Turck has acquired the cloud software from IoT specialist Beck IPC as part of a technology buyout. The software solution is to form the basis for the development of the Mülheim-based automation specialist's own industrial cloud solutions.
"With the purchase of the cloud software from Beck IPC, we are taking a further step towards becoming an automation partner for Industry 4.0," explains Turck Managing Director Christian Wolf on the occasion of the signing of the contract and adds: "Based on this software, we will be able to offer a mature, future-proof industrial cloud solution in the near future, which we will continue to develop further with Beck IPC."
The cloud solution focuses heavily on the machine level. Oliver Merget, head of the Automation Systems business unit, explains: "We don't want to unsettle our customers with 'big data', but rather offer them 'smart data', i.e. only data with useful value, for example to minimize unplanned plant downtimes with predictive maintenance. With the new Turck cloud solutions, our customers can usefully evaluate machine data for their own purposes." And Thomas Schumacher, Managing Director of Beck IPC, adds: "In our collaboration with Turck, we see a genuine sensor-to-cloud platform for all industrial sectors in automation for the first time."
The servers for Turck's cloud solutions are hosted in Germany, which, according to Wolf, guarantees the greatest possible data protection worldwide. In addition to the simple storage of data, the solution should also enable the visualization of processes, the execution of data logs and data reports through to the display of monitoring functions.
