What Turck Vilant Systems does

Turck Vilant Systems is a Finland-based RFID and RTLS system integrator founded in 2002 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Turck Group, a diversified industrial automation conglomerate. The company designs and deploys end-to-end Track & Trace platforms combining passive UHF RFID with active RTLS technologies (BLE, UWB, GPS) to provide item-level visibility across industrial supply chains. Its proprietary stack includes a Track & Trace platform, RFID middleware with ready-built SAP and WMS interfaces, and a kit of 30+ configurable RFID applications running on Windows/Android environments or autonomously on RFID readers.

The company serves enterprise customers across eight verticals — warehousing & logistics, manufacturing, retail & wholesale, healthcare & pharma, pulp & paper, chemicals, car rental, and data centers — with named clients including Recalo (90,000+ tracked RTIs), Outokumpu Stainless Steel, Promart, and an unnamed Scandinavian retail distribution center. Its go-to-market is consultative enterprise sales via a 6-phase project model (Concept, Design, Plan, Execution, Rollout, Support), with regional sales offices in Finland, Germany, Benelux, Poland, Czech Republic, and Malaysia, supporting implementations in 41 countries. Revenue is generated through a mix of project-based system implementations, hardware sales (readers, gates, tunnels, tags), software licenses and subscriptions (with optional 24/7 premium support), and professional services including site surveys, feasibility testing in a Voyantic-equipped demo room, and system audits. Recent product launches include an EUDR compliance solution and self-service RFID store concepts (VilantContainer/VilantCheckout), signaling expansion into regulatory-driven traceability and unmanned retail operations.
