Via EdgeIR.comAvassa has been chosen by Alimak Group to power its edge native computing projects.

Using IoT, real-time data processing and AI applications at the edge is possible through this collaboration to make a new generation of intelligent connected systems.

By using the Avassa edge platform, Alimak Group can manage and observe container workloads running on its equipment and facilities, providing secure access to all data.

“Industrial companies are rapidly moving towards software-defined capabilities at the edge, and Alimak Group is truly manifesting that shift,” says Olle Hillström, CEO of Avassa. “With the Avassa edge platform, Alimak Group can accelerate its development of intelligent, connected solutions while maintaining the control, security, and scalability required in complex, distributed environments.”

Alimak Group will develop a modular edge architecture for control systems, advanced analytics and AI solutions. Its aim is to increase the operational efficiency, security and provide new data-based services.

The platform will allow the reliable management of applications across distributed environments.

The announcement also reflects a broader market trend: manufacturing and industrial sectors are among the fastest adopters of on-premise edge computing because of requirements around data localization, operational resiliency, and low-latency decision making. This positions Alimak Group to evolve from a traditional industrial equipment company into a connected systems platform provider with recurring digital services layered onto its physical infrastructure.
