Industrial Ethernet Infrastructure

Reliable and efficient data transmission in Industry 4.0

Industrial Ethernet

With Industrial Ethernet, the Ethernet standard becomes usable for networking devices in industrial manufacturing. Wherever classic bus systems reach their limits, Industrial Ethernet-based infrastructures are increasingly being used. Industrial Ethernet switches are an integral part of every modern communication path due to their flexibility and performance.

Single Pair Ethernet

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) reduces Ethernet cabling to one wire pair and thus enables a compact, weight- and cost-optimized infrastructure for industrial and mobile applications. Ideal for connecting sensors, actuators and decentralized field devices – especially where conventional Ethernet solutions reach physical limits.

Robust & Reliable

Robust and reliable TERZ switches are essential for industrial use. Through special constructions and materials, they withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations and electromagnetic interference. This reliability ensures uninterrupted operation even under the harshest conditions.

Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 revolutionizes the manufacturing industry through the integration of Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence and machine learning. This digital transformation enables intelligent factories with networked systems that can communicate autonomously and optimize themselves. The result is more efficient, flexible and sustainable production.

Networking mobile machines

Connected vehicle technology is a central driver for automated, sensor-based systems in mobile work machines. Ethernet-based architectures enable the integration of camera systems, control units, GNSS and telemetry data in real time. TERZ components are designed for use in construction machinery, agricultural technology and special vehicles – high protection class, EMC-robust and vibration-resistant.

Our products for industry

The TERZ product range includes Industrial Ethernet Switches with RJ45 and M12 connection technology and M12 Industrial USB Flash Drives. All products are developed for use in industrial automation and for use in vehicles such as passenger trains, agricultural machinery, commercial vehicles and ships. To make the products as efficient and reliable as possible, great emphasis is placed on optimization during development. During the concept phase, in addition to the long-term availability of the components used, their industrial suitability and quality are also ensured. All products are designed, developed and manufactured in Germany.
