CoreTigo Inc. to Demonstrate IO-Link Wireless Live at the IO-Link User Workshop in North America

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreTigo Inc., the industrial wireless automation solution provider for machine builders, equipment manufacturers and manufacturing plants, will exhibit its IO-Link Wireless-based products and solutions, in the IO-Link User Workshop to be held in North America - Detroit, MI, on March 30, 2023.

The workshop, organized by PI North America, will introduce IO-Link Wireless as part of the agenda. The event aims to showcase the benefits of using fieldbuses and Industrial Ethernet solutions for cost-efficient and highly reliable automation, while assisting device manufacturers throughout North America in the development and marketing of IO-Link products.

CoreTigo enables faster and more flexible manufacturing with IO-Link Wireless communication, the first wireless communication designed specifically for industrial automation. As the manufacturing world is transforming to mass customization and sustainability, CoreTigo's technology allows ultimate production line adaptivity, while increasing throughput. IO-Link Wireless is breaking down barriers for wireless machine connectivity and enabling a range of new solutions that were not possible before, along with solutions for existing machines that are reducing complexity and increasing overall flexibility.  

While past attempts of integrating common wireless communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi and BLE on machines and production lines were not optimal, IO-Link Wireless provides a completely new level of capabilities. IO-Link Wireless was designed specifically for factory automation and is suitable for both real-time wireless control and monitoring. With ultra-high reliability, and low latency (5msec), IO-Link Wireless ensures cable-grade connectivity even in the harshest of industrial environments.

Located in Grand Rapids Michigan, CoreTigo Inc. is led by President Reid Schook, a former Rockwell Automation executive with over 35 years of experience in the factory automation market. Schook served in numerous leadership roles at Rockwell, including Sensing & Connectivity Business Director, Connected Enterprise Consulting Director, and Manufacturing & Assembly OEM Segment Business Manager.

"We are excited to participate in the IO-Link User Workshop in North America, showcasing our IO-Link Wireless-based products and solutions." states Schook. "This IO Link Workshop will help machine builders differentiate their offerings and End Users optimize their operations, allowing both to better meet their customer needs."

Michael Bowne, Executive Director of PI North America, added, "We are delighted to have CoreTigo exhibiting at the IO-Link User Workshop in North America. Their IO-Link Wireless-based solutions are important for the development and growth of the IO-Link ecosystem here in North America."

Additional IO-Link workshops are already scheduled for these times and locations:

• Greenville, SC, on June 13, 2023
• Minneapolis, MN, on October 5, 2023
