TTTech Industrial Automation AG has acquired core technology and strategic customers from pioneering fog/edge computing start-up Nebbiolo Technologies in a deal closed in May. Integrating features and know-how from Nebbiolo Technologies will support TTTech Industrial’s commitment to delivering the world’s most advanced industrial edge computing platform to its customers.

TTTech Industrial has also founded a US subsidiary in Silicon Valley to expand its activities in the North American market. Kannan Devarajan, one of the co-founders of Nebbiolo Technologies has joined TTTech Industrial North America Inc. as Managing Director.

TTTech Industrial is a leading provider of industrial IoT solutions, and partners with key players in IoT such as Intel and Microsoft. The company’s Nerve software platform has been at the forefront of industrial edge computing since its launch in 2016. The foundation of TTTech Industrial North America supports the expansion of commercial operations in the US and Canada, with the technology and customer assets acquired from Nebbiolo Technologies forming the nucleus of these activities.

Nebbiolo Technologies is known as a pioneer in fog computing, with patented technology that is foundational to industrial edge computing concepts. The company was named a Gartner Cool Vendor in 2017 and was recognized as the Customer Value Leader in the IIoT edge computing market by Frost & Sullivan in 2019.

TTTech Industrial has an existing customer base of machine builders and system integrators based in Europe, the US and Asia. Aside from growing its operations in North America and Asia, this deal also allows TTTech Industrial to widen the scope of its activities to new industries such as energy, oil/gas and auto manufacturing, strengthen the global reach of its edge computing solutions and bolster go-to-market activities in Europe.

“The launch of our US subsidiary marks a significant step for our company.
