COPA-DATA and Avassa partner for Edge-based industrial automation

COPA-DATA and Avassa have entered a partnership to make the Edge easier to manage in an industrial context.

“We are super excited to team up with COPA-DATA and make sure their extensive range of functionality can be efficiently deployed and managed to industrial Edge locations as well as aggregation data centres.

“COPA-DATA’s new containerised Service Engine is a perfect example of how Cloud-native implementations can be easily managed in Edge locations using Avassa,” said Olle Hillström, Head of Product Strategy and Customer Success at Avassa.

Through COPA-DATA’s service engine, data can be acquired and processed locally from sources in edge locations, and efficiently utilised centrally in COPA-DATA’s service grid. And together with Avassa’s platform, enterprises get a complete solution for managing both the data itself and the Edge application lifecycle in a secure, cost-efficient, and sustainable manner.

As Kenneth Quinteros, Area Sales Manager at COPA-DATA explains: “We look forward to working together with Avassa as their technology makes a key contribution in solving the challenges and requirements with remote and local data acquisition. We often meet the need for an efficient solution for handling deployments, updates, and changes across numerous remote sites.

“Avassa makes it easy to orchestrate and monitor thousands of Edge devices giving us at COPA-DATA the opportunity to fully use the potential of our software solutions such as Service Grid.”

While both COPA-DATA and Avassa offer fully horizontal solutions, key industries for the joint offering include manufacturing, industrial IoT, automotive, food and beverage, life science, and energy.
