TORKIndustrial automation and operator interfaces

Let machine control, operator screens and plant data work together.

TORK is an industrial automation solution extending from PLC control software to HMI screens and SCADA monitoring. The information, alarms and commands the operator needs are gathered on clear screens. New line installations and the integration of existing machines are planned on the basis of how the plant operates.

WHAT IT DOES

Different machines, different screens,
scattered data.

In many plants, each machine has its own panel, its own alarm structure and its own data log, which makes it hard to see the overall state of the plant.

Operators work with complex screens, alarms pile up without being prioritized and production data is gathered by hand for reporting. Older machines stay outside the data because they cannot connect to new systems.

TORK combines machine control, operator screens and plant monitoring in a shared data structure. Alarms are prioritized, production data is recorded and reported automatically, and older equipment is brought into the system through gateways.

KEY FEATURES

Six core capabilities
for plant automation.

01

Machine and line automation

PLC software developed in IEC 61131-3 languages with reusable function blocks.

02

Clear operator screens

Touchscreens designed with the ISA-101 approach that bring abnormal conditions to the fore.

03

Alarm management

Prioritized alarms, acknowledgment, temporary suppression and alarm history (ISA-18.2 approach).

04

Data logging and reporting

Recording of production, downtime and energy data; shift and OEE reports.

05

Multi-protocol support

Connection to existing equipment via OPC UA, Modbus, Profinet and EtherCAT.

06

Web-based access

Monitoring by permission from a browser, tablet or phone, with no installation required.

PRODUCT FAMILY

Three layers
from the field to management.

The layers can be used together or separately, and can be integrated with existing PLC and SCADA infrastructure.

TORK Control

PLC-based machine and line automation

Machine sequencing, motion control, safety interlocks and recipe management.

  • IEC 61131-3 software development
  • Works with different PLC brands
  • Recipe and parameter management
  • Commissioning and testing

TORK HMI

Touch operator panels

Clear, multilingual screens with user permissions for the operator at the machine.

  • Multilingual screens
  • User and permission management
  • Trend and alarm screens
  • Recipe selection

TORK SCADA

Plant monitoring, alarms and reporting

Monitoring of all lines and machines from one center, alarm management and reporting.

  • Excel / PDF reports
USE CASES

Where TORK
is used

Assembly and packaging lines

Line synchronization, recipe changeover and downtime tracking.
