TACTUN Awarded Second U.S. Patent

July 8, 2025 – We’re excited to share that TACTUN has received its second U.S. patent – this time protecting our cloud-based configuration platform for industrial testing machines.

What This Means – and Why It Matters

TACTUN’s platform was designed to eliminate the traditional friction in custom machine development – especially for materials testing equipment, where every sensor, actuator, grip, and control logic can vary by test standard or customer.

Until now, configuring a testing machine meant custom programming every time – new controller logic, new desktop software, new hardware mappings. Even small changes could mean weeks of engineering time.

TACTUN’s newly patented approach changes that:

  • Engineers can fully configure a test machine from the cloud – before it’s even built
  • The platform adapts available options based on selected controller type, test standards, or device configuration
  • When the hardware arrives, it’s ready to use – just plug it in and load the configuration you built in the cloud. There’s no need for embedded firmware development or custom software coding – the system is ready to run.
  • End-user apps are generated automatically – tailored to each machine, white-labeled with the manufacturer’s branding
US Patent

From Hardware + Software to a Smart Unified Platform

This new software patent builds on our first U.S. patent, which protected our reconfigurable FPGA-based industrial controller – a hybrid architecture that delivers high-speed deterministic control while remaining flexible for any machine type. Together, these patents form a complete platform: from dynamic hardware at the edge to cloud-based configuration and deployment.
