The Swedish Edge Computing Startup Crosser announces a global agreement with Valmet to digitize its forest and energy industrial solutions or products.

Stockholm/Sundsvall, 20 august 2018 - Crosser, a leading provider of Intelligent Edge Computing software for Industrial IoT, today announced a strategic agreement with Valmet, a leading global developer, and supplier of technologies, automation, and services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries.

MachNation research has identified that most industrial IoT deployments leverage edge computing in order to deliver enterprise-grade solutions,” says Dima Tokar, Head of Research at MachNation, an industry analyst firm exclusively focused on the enterprise IoT space.

Tomas Edstrom, Industrial Internet Manager, P&E FPU R&D, Strategy&Product Portfolio, at Valmet: “Valmet and our customers have high requirements in terms of performance, usability, and security. Crosser has met all these requirements with their easy-to-use solution. They also showed great flexibility and speed when we had requests for new features and functions.”

Within Valmet's Industrial Internet initiative, Amazon cloud services (AWS) provide storage, historical analysis, and visualization (BI) of machine data, while. And Crosser delivers software for communication, security, analysis, and calculations behind the customer's firewall. Crosser also delivers a cloud solution that includes Crosser Flow Studio, an easy-to-use design tool that allows Valmet to build and change features for their customers without using developers.
