Avnet partners will have access to relayr’s enterprise middleware platform, and tools that enable fast and cost-effective development of new solutions, equipment and services for IoT.

“relayr addresses one of the central challenges of IoT with a truly comprehensive enterprise middleware platform that can turn our partners into IoT solution developers,” said Colin Blair, vice president of data analytics and IoT solutions, Avnet Technology Solutions, Americas. “Our partners will be able to use relayr’s offerings to create IoT solutions that can easily be integrated with their customers’ existing technologies. Working together, Avnet and relayr will empower partners to help their customers create IoT solutions that span a wide range of devices and offer solutions from simple experimentation kits to industrial hardware, supporting their customers’ digital transformation processes.”

The cloud-based enterprise middleware platform from relayr allows communications from any service, any software, any platform, and any sensor. Additionally, Avnet will provide its partners with relayr’s open source software development kits and industrial-grade sensor kits for rapid customer prototyping.
