TACH Systems integrates electronic control and sensing for off-highway and industrial automation

In the landscape of industrial automation and mobile machinery, the integration of electronic control systems and advanced sensing technology represents a critical factor in achieving high performance, operational safety, and technological continuity.

Within the TACH Systems ecosystem, the technologies developed by the group’s companies converge to deliver complete Hardware + Software + Cloud solutions, designed for harsh environments typical of the off-highway sector: agricultural machinery, earthmoving equipment, lifting platforms, special vehicles, and mobile industrial applications.

Integrated Architecture: from sensor to cloud

The TACH system combines multiple technological layers operating in a coordinated way:

1. Intelligent sensing

TSM sensors acquire critical data related to position, inclination, pressure, force, and other operational parameters. The sensing technology is designed to ensure accuracy, robustness, and long-term stability, even in the presence of vibrations, dust, humidity, and significant temperature variations.

2. Electronic control systems

ALMEC control units (ECU, PLC, I/O modules, HMI) process signals from sensors and manage the machine’s operating logic. The electronic architecture is engineered to ensure functional reliability, control precision, and compatibility with industrial protocols such as CAN BUS and CANopen.

3. Software

Through dedicated development environments such as ALMEClab and Diaboard, the system can be configured, programmed, and diagnosed efficiently, reducing integration time and design complexity.

4. Connectivity and cloud

The platform enables telemetry, remote diagnostics, and data management functionalities, allowing continuous monitoring of machine status and optimization of operational performance.

5. Structured wiring and industrial connectors

HTP components dedicated to the pneumatic, hydraulic, and industrial automation sectors provide a complete range of connectivity solutions designed for demanding industrial environments. The portfolio includes connectors for EN175301-803 standard solenoid valves, circular industrial connectors such as M8, M12, 7/8”, and M23, as well as passive distribution boxes and signaling solutions such as industrial LEDs.

The integration of sensing technology, control systems, and connectivity allows TACH Systems to offer customers a complete technological platform designed to ensure operational reliability, modularity, and scalability in the most complex industrial applications.

Why choose TACH

Complete and scalable systems The TACH approach integrates hardware, software, and cloud services into a single coherent architecture, reducing compatibility issues between components and simplifying product lifecycle management.

Co-engineering with the customer

The development model includes direct technical collaboration with OEMs and system integrators, enabling customized solutions tailored to specific application requirements.

Wiring design

Connectivity solutions represent a fundamental element in ensuring electrical continuity, robustness, and reliability in industrial automation and off-highway machine applications.

Off-highway specialization

Systems are designed to operate in harsh environmental conditions, ensuring mechanical robustness, protection from electromagnetic interference, and operational continuity even in demanding contexts.

Safety and compliance orientation

Solutions are developed in accordance with functional safety regulations, industrial cybersecurity requirements, and compliance standards required in international markets.

How system components interact

The TACH architecture is based on a modular logic:

  • TSM sensors detect critical physical variables of the machine

  • ALMEC control units process data and manage actuators and operational logic

  • Communication modules transmit information over CAN networks or other industrial protocols

  • The software and cloud platform enables monitoring, diagnostics, and performance optimization

This approach makes it possible to develop intelligent, connected, and upgradable machines over time, improving operational efficiency and safety.
