TAS Edge – Smart OT Data Processing at the Edge

Capture Only the Data That Matters

Industrial machines continuously generate vast amounts of operational data, yet only a small portion is typically required for monitoring, analytics, or predictive maintenance. Instead of transmitting every signal to IT systems or the cloud, TAS Edge from Turck processes data directly at the network edge, ensuring that only meaningful information is forwarded.

As the latest addition to the Turck Automation Suite (TAS), it helps bridge the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), making Industrial IoT implementations more efficient and scalable.

No Programming Required

Designed for fast deployment, TAS Edge allows users to configure data acquisition, filtering, and forwarding through an intuitive web-based interface without extensive programming knowledge. For more advanced applications, support for Node-RED provides additional flexibility to create custom processing logic.

The software runs on Turck TX HMI devices, industrial edge controllers, as well as Windows and Linux platforms, making it suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects.

From Raw Machine Data to Valuable Information

Instead of simply collecting data, TAS Edge performs filtering, aggregation, and preprocessing directly where the data is generated. This significantly reduces communication loads while providing MES, SCADA, ERP, and cloud applications with information that is immediately useful.

By processing data locally, manufacturers benefit from faster response times, lower bandwidth requirements, and more efficient industrial communication.

Secure OT-to-IT Communication

Cybersecurity is an integral part of TAS Edge. The platform supports secure MQTT communication, certificate management, and integrated diagnostic functions to ensure reliable data exchange between production systems and enterprise applications.

Its open architecture also enables straightforward integration into existing automation infrastructures, allowing companies to modernize production without replacing their installed equipment.

Part of the Turck Automation Suite

TAS Edge complements the Turck Automation Suite (TAS), Turck’s comprehensive platform for centralized device management, commissioning, diagnostics, and remote maintenance. Together, they provide a complete solution for collecting, managing, and utilizing industrial data throughout the entire machine lifecycle.
