Release Notes

New features:

  • Hardened system
    Tagsurance 3 controller is now hardened and ready for network connections. Tagsurance 3 system can be accessed only with system-specific credentials.
  • Headless system
    Tagsurance 3 provides a browser-based UI and an API that can be accessed only by a separate computer. Tagsurance 3 can be connected to a computer via a network or direct point-to-point connection.
    All features*, including Recipe Builder, are available in the browser-based UI that requires user login credentials.
  • Cloud-based features
    When Tagsurance 3 is connected to the network, the user can benefit from the first cloud-based features: The system checks the available releases, and a new version can be downloaded directly from the Voyantic cloud to the Tagsurance 3 system. The license update is no longer a manual process for the systems online. Tagsurance 3 automatically fetches the latest available license from the Voyantic cloud.
  • Admin UI
    The section of Tagsurance 3 UI for system update, user management, detailed license information, system specific API client information, and the diagnostic log export.
  • Recipe service
    Recipe service stores and manages the recipes locally on the Tagsurance 3 server. Once the recipes are stored locally, they are always accessible, and a job can be started even if the computer where Tagsurance 3 UI is running changes. Recipes can be created and edited in the Recipe Builder, part of the Recipe service.

* some features or feature properties are available only at API and they are not exposed in Tagsurance 3 UI
