IO-Link Pathfinder Workshop – GAP Analysis & Roadmap in 4 Hours

At the start of most projects, there are usually many open questions – including ones that concern the entire IO-Link product development process. At the start of most projects, there are usually many question marks. The new IO-Link Pathfinder Workshop was designed with the goal of analyzing and structuring projects, identifying bottlenecks, defining realistic goals, and setting an actionable timeline. In addition to the IO-Link Pathfinder, we offer other IO-Link workshop formats – including on topics such as development and sales.

Would you like a structured entry point into IO-Link development?

With the IO-Link Pathfinder, you'll quickly gain the knowledge and orientation you need for your first IO-Link project.
Product Data Sheet

For example, your current situation may look like this:

  • Do you have an initial product idea with new functions, for example in the areas of maintenance or IoT?
  • Is it your task to integrate IO-Link into an existing product due to market adjustments or customer requirements?
  • Have you heard of IO-Link but are unsure whether integration is worthwhile for your product?
  • Would you like to convince your management of the benefits of IO-Link but are still looking for the right arguments?

From the IO-Link Pathfinder Workshop analysis to a certified, market-ready product

We support IO-Link holistically – from architecture through development to certification and market entry. With the proactive TEConcept IO-Link Coaching system, we create structure, transparency, and a clear roadmap for your product development. The IO-Link Pathfinder is the structured entry point into your IO-Link project. Within just 4 hours, we will work together to develop a sound basis for decision-making and a concrete roadmap for your project. Result for you:
  • Clear assessment of your IO-Link maturity level
  • Transparency regarding technological, organizational, and conceptual gaps (GAP analysis)
  • Concrete recommendations for action with a priority plan
  • Realistic roadmap for product improvement or IO-Link integration

Now clearly assess potential with the IO-Link Pathfinder Workshop and define the roadmap for your product.

Start with the IO-Link Pathfinder and reach a sound decision and an actionable roadmap in just 4 hours.

FAQ on IO-Link Pathfinder Workshop

The IO-Link Pathfinder is a structured workshop in which TEConcept works together with you to develop an individual roadmap for your IO-Link project. The goal is to analyze your use case, assess the system architecture, and develop concrete solution approaches – tailored to your requirements.

The workshop is aimed at everyone involved in planning and implementing an IO-Link project: technical project management, product management, development, and – where relevant – marketing and sales.

The IO-Link Pathfinder consists of two two-hour sessions.

The first session focuses on the target vision and use case, as well as an analysis of your current system architecture.

The second session involves a critical assessment of technological maturity and IO-Link suitability, followed by jointly developing concrete solution approaches for implementation.

Four hours, split into two two-hour blocks. The sessions are held on separate days with an appropriate interval between them.

First, we jointly clarify your target vision together: What should the product achieve, and what added value does IO-Link bring for your specific use case? We then analyze your existing system architecture – which interfaces, protocols, and hardware components are already in place.

TEConcept evaluates the findings from the first session internally. We analyze your requirements and system architecture, assess technological suitability, and develop possible solution approaches. This preparation allows us to design the second session in a targeted, results-oriented way.

We present our assessment of the technological maturity and IO-Link suitability for your use case and discuss the developed solution approaches together with you. Building on this, we then develop the concrete implementation roadmap for your project.

At the end of the IO-Link Pathfinder, you receive a roadmap tailored to your requirements for implementing your project – with clear next steps, identified risks, and an assessment of technological feasibility.

No. The process is designed to be technology-agnostic. One possible outcome can explicitly be that IO-Link is not the best solution for your specific product requirements. The goal is always the right decision for you – not a particular technology.

No prior IO-Link knowledge is required. It’s helpful if participants have an overview of the planned product, the target application, and existing technical framework conditions.
