The TCG Family – More than Just Data Modules

  • The entry and exit point to the data of your machine
  • Openness and compatibility through Linux
  • Connectors for off-the-shelf and industry standard cloud services
  • Ready for any cloud with MQTT protocols and service descriptions
  • Support through generic software, tools, and libraries
  • Comprehensive certifications and approvals
  • RED DA compliant and CRA ready

Our TCG product series comprises a series of on-board computers which are compatible both within their respective generation and between generations. The compatibility extends to the form, the fit and the function, taking the software in particular into consideration. Our Form Fit Function strategy provides maximum investment security and guarantees future-proof operation through adaptation of the latest technologies.

Developed for use in adverse conditions, the products display their strengths in their openness, flexibility, and wide software support. Linux as the underlying operating system stands for an Open Source policy. A freely-available development environment, a wide diversity of tools and libraries, a large user community as well as access to the comprehensive STW software packages and examples are just some of the advantages. Building on the Telematics Application Framework (TAF) right up to Cloud connectors, we offer a range of equipment which provides the right concept for every user.

On the machine, the wired Ethernet and CAN interfaces facilitate the exchange of data with control units, displays and sensors. M2M networks ensure communications with other machines via WiFi or Bluetooth. The direct interface to the user is realized through USB, Bluetooth or WiFi. Access to the Internet, and therefore even to dedicated servers or Cloud solutions (IoT) is also provided via WiFi or a cellular connectivity (4G, 5G with fallback options).

Being very often the only remote entry into a machine, the TCG products follow latest security requirements and are prepared to comply with the EU Cyber Resilience Act. They store and verify update packages, work as gatekeeper, distribute the software onto the controllers, displays, and sensors inside the machine.
