NEVs Are Revolutionizing Global Mobility — Turck Automates their Production

The automotive industry is currently undergoing a revolution. New energy vehicles (NEVs), customization and modularization require flexible production concepts and smart automation. 

For over 50 years, Turck has been driving innovation in automation, also in automotive production. We know the standards and the unwritten rules of this industry. Our Project Management team always has everything under control. Our Sales department knows the automotive world, knows the pain points and always follows the best decision-making paths.

The transformation of the industry is challenging for manufacturers and suppliers alike. Face these challenges with a partner who has been shaping the automation of automotive production for many decades. We have always found creative solutions for the automation of the future.

Smart Production for any Platform

Put your faith in a partner with solutions across the entire automotive market, from tier X suppliers to OEMs, from the press plant to final assembly, and any drive platform you can think of. 

Conventional Platform

The classic platform is designed for internal combustion engines including the exhaust system. These platforms can also accommodate electric drives but the architecture remains unchanged. Many automation solutions for classic combustion engines can be transferred to alternative drive concepts. 

Multi-Energy Platform

These platforms are designed to accommodate both conventional combustion drives as well as electric or hybrid drives. The production system must be able to cover the different drive types while still maintaining efficiency and availability. 

Battery-Powered Vehicles

These platforms are specifically designed to meet the requirements of battery-powered vehicles. Skateboard architecture allows large battery packs to be installed in the underbody and increases the available space while the external dimensions remain the same. Turck provides specialized solutions also for manufacturing batteries.

Support and Service

Support and Service

  • Teams of application engineers develop programs and other solutions for and with customers. They can also provide commissioning support if needed 
  • If faults occur, the team will assist in troubleshooting and resolving the issue
  • Open to ideas for optimizing and developing specific solutions and adaptations
Production

Production

  • Turck manufactures at six locations across Europe, Asia, North America and Central America.
  • 70% of regional demand is covered by local production plants
  • Local production means short delivery times
  • It is therefore easier to meet specific requirements

NEVer Compromise: The Next Level of Automation

TRACK AND TRACE

Identification solutions for flexibility up to batch size 1

Smart production environments can produce unique products at conveyor-belt speed. Identification solutions from Turck help overcome the complexity of fluid production methods. With our in-house system integrator Turck Vilant Systems, we are the only automation partner on the market that knows, understands and can therefore solve the challenges of production systems and logistics systems alike.

DECENTRALIZED AUTOMATION

On course for cabinet-free automation 

Just like modern vehicle architectures, modern production concepts also benefit from modular concepts. Well-thought-out modularization requires decentralized automation solutions to be integral parts of a machine, instead of being in a separate control cabinet. Our IP67 solutions not only reduce the complexity and cost of wiring and assembly, they also create freedom to flexibly combine autonomous units, including identification, I/O, network, control and safety units.

SENSOR-TO-CLOUD

Transparency from the shop floor to smartphone

Benefit from the global plant transparency provided by Turck Cloud Solutions. Provide your customers with convenient service functions for remote maintenance, analysis or predictive maintenance — or simply shift to usage-based billing or leasing models. Turck Cloud Solutions allow data to be preprocessed directly in the field so only the relevant data is sent to the cloud — data minimization by design. Encrypted proprietary protocols or optional private cloud systems on your in-house servers provide you with the highest level of security.

Webinar: Decentralized Automation in the Automotive Industry

How do decentralized solutions help to reduce commissioning times? Why is modularization the answer to the challenges facing automobile production?

Aurel Buda, Head of Product Management Factory Automation Systems, will answer these questions and more in a webinar taking place on November 10, 2021. 

Find out how one manufacturer has improved the reliability of its conveyor system by using IP67 PLCs or how decentralized safety controllers enable quick offline testing for tier suppliers.

Products That Bring Performance to the Road

Condition Monitoring

Condition monitoring sensors detect critical environmental conditions, such as humidity, temperature, and vibrations. And the devices from the CCM product series evaluate the data, using the customer's own programming if required.

Complete M12 Power Portfolio

Our I/O modules for Ethernet (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, EtherCAT) are equipped with M12 Power supply units as standard. They round off our M12 Power range of junction boxes, connection cables and IP67 power supplies.

Edge Controller and I/O Solutions

Turck provides one of the most diverse ranges of edge controllers, namely  controllers with cloud connections, with or without displays. Our IP20 or IP67 I/O solutions also bring logic to the field, fully replacing the PLC or taking over some of its functionality.

RFID Read/Write Heads and Interfaces

Turck's identification systems offer suitable solutions to meet all performance, location and distance requirements. Few other automation partners can handle both production and logistics IDs equally well.

Safety Modules with Integrated Safety Controllers

IP67 block I/Os enable safety functions to be implemented without switch cabinets. Safety applications can be tested offline using their safety controller and controlled in a decentralized way during live operation.

Smart Sensors

Turck's inductive proximity switches are considered to be the de facto standard for bodywork construction in the automotive industry. Our encoders, photoelectric sensors and the Fluid+ series of sensors show that this good reputation is well-deserved.
