Aspen Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AZPN), the asset optimization
software company, today announced a software license and
distribution agreement with Advantech B+B SmartWorx, which designs
and manufactures intelligent M2M (machine-to-machine) and IoT
connectivity solutions for wireless and wired networks. Working
together, AspenTech and Advantech B+B SmartWorx will deliver
robust, sustainable and lower-cost Industrial Internet of Things
(IIoT) infrastructure to help customers in asset-intensive
industries achieve higher levels of operational excellence through
digital transformation.
“Aspen Edge Connect™ software links assets and sensors, whether
wired or wireless, to existing enterprise systems or new
cloud-based systems. We are leveraging Advantech B+B SmartWorx’s
latest hardware and platforms to link old or new assets and sensors
to existing enterprise systems or new cloud-based systems,” said
Keith Flynn, Senior Director, Product Management, Aspen Technology.
“With Aspen Edge Connect software on Advantech B+B SmartWorx IIoT
Edge hardware, we’re delivering industrial connectivity solutions
with unbeatable ROI for our mutual and new customers.”
Purpose-built for Windows® and LINUX® edge devices using
standard industrial protocols, such as MQTT, OPC-UA, OPC-DA and
Modbus, Aspen Edge Connect software collects real-time data from
multiple assets and pools it together for analysis with edge
processing devices. Leveraging the latest in IIoT technology, Aspen
Edge Connect software works in existing plant systems and avoids
unnecessary ‘rip-and-replace’ during software roll-out; the drop-in
solution can reduce deployment costs by up to 70 percent.
Jerry O'Gorman, President & CEO of Advantech B+B SmartWorx
said: “This partnership creates a robust and comprehensive
out-of-the-box wireless IIoT communications solution. Together,
Advantech and AspenTech are providing connectivity and
manageability at the edge to simplify IIoT applications. With
powerful industrial network connectivity solutions that seamlessly
integrate and interoperate with legacy systems and perform in
rugged, demanding plant conditions, we’re making the IIoT a
profitable reality for our customers.”

AspenTech’s asset optimization solutions that help companies push
the limits of performance and run assets faster, safer, longer and
greener. AspenTech is working with customers to extend
optimization’s reach through the combination of process modeling
expertise, advanced analytics and machine learning.
