Targus MiraLogic Connect wins CES 2025 Innovation Award in sustainability

Targus today announced that its MiraLogic Connect retrofit adapter has been named a CES 2025 Innovation Award Honoree in the Sustainability, Eco-Design & Smart Energy category. CES’ elite panel of judges recognized MiraLogic Connect for its unique features and benefits that help organizations advance their sustainability initiatives by upgrading mainstream Targus docking stations to IoT-connected smart docks configured for MiraLogic. MiraLogic is a patented, unique workspace intelligence system that enables IT and management teams to remotely control, oversee, and optimize their company’s modular IT ecosystems, anywhere.  

With the MiraLogic Connect adapter, organizations can seamlessly and cost-effectively upgrade their mainstream Targus docking stations to IoT-connected smart docks configured for MiraLogic. This allows their IT and management teams to efficiently analyze, control, and manage their workspace assets anywhere (e.g., power consumption, workspace utilization, and real-time occupancy). By providing valuable, real-time insights to make data-driven decisions about running costs of power, energy, equipment, and desk usage, MiraLogic helps today’s businesses achieve their sustainability goals more effectively while empowering employees to work productively from anywhere.  

MiraLogic Connect is a retrofit adapter that sits between a Targus docking station, specifically DOCK182DOCK192DOCK310, and DOCK315, and host device to incorporate the capabilities of the Targus MiraLogic Workspace Intelligence System into the dock. With this small adapter, Over-the-Air (OTA) Firmware updates and management tasks can also now be performed remotely and automatically through the MiraLogic platform, without attaching to a host device. This eliminates the need to perform time-intensive, manual updates on multiple docks throughout the workplace. Remote OTA firmware updates enable organizations to cut time spent on dock maintenance by more than 90%, according to data from Targus enterprise users.   

Extending MiraLogic’s sustainability benefits, the adapter and product packaging also use recycled materials. The housing has 75% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and the product comes in a recyclable brown box packaging and CPE-07 biodegradable bag which degrades faster than regular plastic once discarded. In the company’s future docking solutions roadmap, Targus is working toward replacing all of its current docking products with 85% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) housing and 100% recycled packaging.  

The MiraLogic Workspace Intelligence System, which was named a CES Innovation Award Honoree in 2019 and 2024, combines patented and patent-pending enterprise-grade hardware and proprietary cloud software to give technical and management teams full remote control and visibility over their modular IT ecosystems across the workplace. By providing real-time insights to make data-driven decisions about running costs of power, energy, equipment, and desk usage, organizations can achieve their sustainability goals more effectively while empowering employees to work productively from anywhere.   

MiraLogic Connect is slated for availability in April 2025. Consumers and media can get a firsthand look and technical demonstration of MiraLogic Connect and the MiraLogic Workspace Intelligence System at CES 2025, the world’s most important proving ground for innovation happening in Las Vegas, Jan. 7th-10th. Targus will be showcasing its latest innovations in docking stations, cases, and tech accessories designed to upgrade peoples’ lives at The Venetian in Suite #35-106. Additionally, MiraLogic Connect will be featured in the CES Innovation Awards Showcase and with the MiraLogic Workspace Intelligence System during CES Unveiled, CES’ premier media preview event taking place at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center on the evening of January 5th.
