SAN JOSE, CA, July 11, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Litmus Automation, an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform provider, today announced a distribution agreement with Ingram Micro in Canada. Under the new alliance, Ingram Micro will distribute Litmus Automation’s Loop and LoopEdge technologies to channel partners throughout Canada.

As part of its IoT suite of end-to-end solutions, Ingram Micro sells IoT gateways from vendors such as Advantech, Cisco, HPE and more, and with the new agreement, LoopEdge gateway software will be sold on top of these gateways as a bundled solution.  LoopEdge simplifies the complexity of creating IIoT solutions, providing connectivity at the edge through almost any industrial legacy protocol, management of many gateways at once, and access to a marketplace of applications to process and act on the data being aggregated within the gateway.  Loop is a consolidated IoT platform that securely connects any type of hardware, device, sensor or machine to any 3rd party software application or enterprise system in real-time with an easy-to-use interface.

“We are eager to make our Loop and LoopEdge IIoT solutions available to Ingram Micro’s extensive network of channel partners and ultimately to industrial and manufacturing companies,” said Vatsal Shah, Co-founder, and CEO of Litmus. “The distribution agreement gives customers a new avenue to access Loop and LoopEdge technology to seamlessly connect industrial devices and systems.”
