TANGO has proven its excellent reliability by controlling several huge scientific installations in a 24*7 mode. Even if it has originally been built for particle accelerators and scientific experiments, it can be used to control any equipment from small domestic applications to big industrial installations. In the last years the interest around TANGO has been growing and several industrial partners in Europe propose services for TANGO. The TANGO industrialization project aims to increase the visibility of the system fostering the economic activity around it. It promotes TANGO as an open-source flexible solution for controlling equipment as an alternative to proprietary SCADA systems. To achieve this goal several actions have been started, such as the development of an industrial demonstrator, better packaging, integrating OPC-UA and improving the communication around TANGO. The next step will be the creation of a TANGO software Foundation able to engage itself as a legal and economical partner for industry. This foundation will be funded by industrial partners, scientific institutes and grants. The goal is to foster and nurture the growing economic eco-system around TANGO.

The TANGO (http://tango-controls/org) collaboration continues to evolve and improve the TANGO kernel. A latest release has made major improvements to the protocol and, the language support in Java. The replacement of the CORBA Notificaton service with ZMQ for sending events has allowed a much higher performance, a simplification of the architecture and support for multicasting to be achieved. A rewrite of the Java device server binding using the latest features of the Java language has made the code much more compact and modern. Guidelines for writing device servers have been produced so they can be more easily shared. The test suite for testing the TANGO kernel has been re-written and the code coverage drastically improved. TANGO has been ported to new embedded platforms running Linux and mobile platforms running Android and iOS. Packaging for Debian and bindings to commercial tools have been updated and a new one (Panorama) added. The graphical layers have been extended. The latest figures on TANGO performance will be presented. Finally the paper will present the roadmap for the next major release.
