1965 First Turck product: An isolating switching amplifier Turck manufactures its first series product for Hüls chemical works, now Evonik. The isolation amplifier with intrinsically safe circuits for explosion-protected areas lays the foundation for the success of the early years of the company. 1988 First IP67 sensor/actuator fieldbus system Turck originally develops the first IP67 fieldbus system "sensoplex" for a large automotive manufacturer. The IP67 I/O system already lays the foundation for systems without control cabinets in terms of decentralized automation at the end of the 80s. 1993 First Factor 1 sensor With uprox, Turck presents the first inductive proximity switch that has the same high switching distance on all metals. A world first that gives users unprecedented design freedom in the choice of metals as well as immunity to interfering magnetic fields. 2004 First modular fieldbus system in IP67 BL67 is the world's first modular IP67 fieldbus system in the mid-zero years. This makes the flexibility and freedom of combination of modular systems possible for the first time in decentralized IP67 automation concepts without a control cabinet. In 2006, the range of decentralized IP67 solutions is expanded to include identification tasks: with BL ident, Turck presents the first IP67 RFID complete system. 2006 First national company in India The foundation of Turck India Automation Pvt. Ltd. in Pune is representative for the second internationalization phase in East Asia. The national companies in Korea, Japan and Singapore (JV) are followed after India by the joint ventures with the strategic partner Banner Engineering in Thailand and Malaysia. 2012 First fieldbus system for three Ethernet protocols Multiprotocol Ethernet allows users to use the same I/O solution in Profinet, Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP for the first time. The technology underlines Turck's position as a global automation partner, as machine builders can now use the same I/O systems in machines for different markets. 2016 First logic software for distributed I/O modules ARGEE represents the next milestone on the road to decentralized automation. For the first time, I/O components can autonomously control small applications directly on site. The simple browser-based configuration with flow diagrams in ARGEE Flow sets standards in terms of intuitive usability. 2017 First automation company with its own RFID turnkey solution provider With the acquisition and integration of Vilant, Turck strengthened its position in the field of turnkey solutions for intralogistics in 2017. With its RFID system know-how, the company based in Finland is one of the leading suppliers of complete RFID solutions worldwide - including implementation in the customer's own software solutions. 2018 Turck Cloud Solutions Turck acquired cloud software from IoT specialist Beck IPC as part of a technology buyout. This sophisticated cloud software solution is the foundation for the development of the industrial cloud ecosystem Turck Cloud Solutions. 2018 First national company in Africa With its long-standing strategic partner Banner Engineering, Turck takes over its sales partner RET Automation Controls and establishes Turck Banner (Pty) Ltd. South Africa is the ninth joint venture with the opto-sensor and safety specialist Banner Engineering.
