Transportation tracks and conveyor systems
Motion independence - for high production flexibility and throughput
Wireless and contactless communications on conveyor systems are critical to creating fully automated, innovative and competitive machine designs for packaging, assembly, logistics and material handling that were not possible before.
CoreTigo's IO-Link wireless communications solutions are revolutionizing the industry by providing real-time, cable-grade wireless connectivity for sensors and actuators on dynamic mobile machine components.This allows equipment such as grippers, pumps and valves mounted on movers or separate units within the conveyor system to perform actions seamlessly while in continuous motion.
Wireless Advantages of Transportation Tracks
Adaptable, Efficient, Sustainable
Eliminate manual and automatic conversion of multiple products/packages and small batches
IO-Link Wireless System Integration
CoreTigo's solution provides real-time data connectivity to sensors and actuators on individual movers without the need for additional external robots or equipment. Each mobile is equipped with an IO-Link wireless multiport hub (TigoHub) or an IO-Link wireless bridge (TigoBridge), which provides multiple sensors and actuators with a connection to the mobile itself.
The IO-Link Wireless Master (TigoMaster) communicates wirelessly with all devices on mobile devices, connects to PLCs for automation control, and connects to the Internet of Things and enterprise IT-level servers for data monitoring.CoreTigo's unique antenna solution enables a highly reliable, scalable, and secure solution for wireless communication with hundreds of mobile devices and equipment. wireless communications with hundreds of mobile devices and equipment.
Turntables and Turntables
Efficient wireless connectivity supports adaptive and simplified design
Easily add connectivity to fast rotating equipment on turntables and dials with an industrial-grade wireless real-time communication solution. Without unnecessary cables or slip rings, you can add sensors (e.g., load cells, volume sensors) and actuators (e.g., valves, servo motors, grippers) to dynamically rotating machine components such as tables and turntables.
Products are processed in the most flexible manner while in constant motion, eliminating the need for manual changeovers while reducing maintenance and deployment efforts.
Wireless Advantages of Turntables and Dials
Reduced conversion, multiple product and package designs, simplified deployment and maintenance
Simple and flexible operation
CoreTigo's solutions provide real-time wireless connectivity to multiple sensors and actuators on rotary tables and turntables in continuous motion.
The sensors and actuators on the rotary device are connected wirelessly to one of the following devices:
．TigoBridge - Direct and seamless connection, no need to integrate with sensors or actuators, turning them into IO-Link wireless devices.
．TigoHub - Multiple sensors and actuators can be connected to CoreTigo's TigoHub, which converts four to six digital, analog or IO-Link devices in parallel to IO-Link wireless.
．Embedded Modules- Integrated IO-Link wireless device design without external adapters.
TigoMaster (IO-Link Wireless Master) allows real-time transmission of device data and control to and from automation PLC's. Master supports a wide range of industrial Ethernet protocols (e.g. Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Profinet, or OPC-UA) and can send monitoring and control data to IIoT platforms or any other application. The Master is fully flexible and easy to deploy, as no communication cables are required between the Master and the rotary devices on the turntable and table.

IO-Link Wireless System Integration
- Terminal Equipment Integration
CoreTigo's TigoAir SOM module can be integrated directly into sensor devices and connected to sensors or actuators like a smart fixture. A specially designed antenna provides the connection and a battery provides the required power.
• Machine Integration
Many wireless devices can be integrated into the machine: swivel ends, mobile units and fixed platforms. Standard IO-Link devices can be connected via TigoBridge, while other analog/digital devices can be connected via multi-port I/D hubs and TigoBridge.
- Complete Solutions
All wireless devices communicate with TigoMaster via the IO-Link wireless protocol. TigoMaster communications are automated at the OT level with PLCs via the Industrial Ethernet protocol or OPC-UA, and at the IT level with enterprise applications or the cloud via the MQTT or OPC-UA protocols, for IIoT, Data analysis and monitoring.
Wireless Robot
IO-Link Wireless for Wireless Robot and Collaborative Robot Communication
Enabling wireless communications for end-of-arm devices for robots and collaborative robots solves a number of challenges. Cables in constant motion are prone to breakage and abrasion, and resistance to bending and torsional loading increases the cost of the cable.
Multiple units (e.g., clamps, valves, sensors) need to be individually wired for data communication, leading to wiring and installation complexity. Cables often impede a robot's range of motion, limiting flexibility. Heavier payloads require larger robots that are more expensive, slower and take up more floor space in the machine/work cell area.
CoreTigo's industrial-grade IO-Link wireless solutions enable robotic end-of-arm devices to realize the low-latency, reliable and interference-free communications required for real-time wireless control and monitoring.
Benefits of wireless technology for robots
Cable-level connection, not limited by cables
Full connectivity of robot end-effectors
The implementation of wireless control and monitoring robotics solutions can be realized in two key ways:
．Embedded IO-Link Wireless Module
CoreTigo's TigoAir wireless device connection SOM (System on Module) is integrated at the end of the arm at the device/connector, providing an IO-Link wireless connection and receiving power directly from the robot arm.
．External IO-Link Wireless Hubs and Bridges
Other end-effectors can be retrofitted to any robotics/collaborative robotics platform using CoreTigo's TigoBridge or TigoHub, allowing any IO-Link, analog and digital device to be seamlessly converted into an IO-Link wireless device with no special design or prior integration.The TigoBridge and TigoHub are separate units with IP67 enclosures, allowing them to be used as-is with no integration effort. TigoHub as standalone units with IP67 enclosures allow them to be used as they are, with no integration work required.
In both cases, the IO-Link wireless device is connected wirelessly to the TigoMaster, which can be placed on the robot itself or in a control box on the production line, controlling numerous end-effectors and robots.
TigoMaster transmits data and control commands in real time to and from PLCs via the preferred industrial Ethernet protocols such as Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Profinet or OPC-UA. It can also send monitoring data to IIoT and other enterprise applications.
