CTHINGS.CO and Compulab Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver Integrated Edge Solutions

CTHINGS.CO, a European provider of edge orchestration solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Compulab, a manufacturer of robust, high-performance industrial edge hardware. The collaboration brings together Compulab’s proven gateways and CTHINGS.CO’s Orchestra Platform to deliver integrated, ready-to-deploy edge solutions for organizations operating distributed systems.

The collaboration was recently highlighted at several industry exhibitions, showcasing how the two companies aim to make it easier for customers to deploy, operate, and scale edge environments by combining dependable hardware with software designed for orchestration, visibility, and centralized control.

A Unified Approach to Secure Edge Operations

As AI and edge systems expand across factories, stores, logistics hubs, cities, and critical infrastructure, organizations face growing challenges around security, consistency, and lifecycle control - particularly under evolving European regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the Radio Equipment Directive (RED).

The CTHINGS.CO and Compulab partnership addresses these challenges by delivering an edge stack designed to work as a single, cohesive system from the start. Compulab provides long-life, industrial-grade gateways, while CTHINGS.CO delivers the orchestration layer that governs how devices, software, security, and updates are managed across the entire fleet.

CTHINGS.CO’s Orchestra Platform provides centralized orchestration, secure communications, and lifecycle management, while Orchestra OS delivers a hardened, industrial-grade Linux foundation optimized for long-term edge deployments. Together, they ensure that devices remain secure, consistent, and compliant throughout their operational life.

Built for CRA- and RED-Ready Deployments

Modern IoT and edge AI deployments must now meet strict regulatory requirements around cybersecurity, updateability, and lifecycle accountability. Orchestra Platform and Orchestra OS are designed with these obligations in mind, providing:

• Secure device identity and encrypted communications
• Controlled software updates and version visibility
• Fleet-based configuration and lifecycle management
• Continuous operational oversight across all locations

By running Orchestra on Compulab gateways, organizations gain a platform that supports security-by-design, traceability, and long-term control, helping them meet regulatory obligations without adding operational complexity.

Hardware and Software, Validated Together

As part of the partnership, Compulab’s Edge IoT Gateways are validated to run Orchestra and Orchestra OS as an integrated solution. This ensures reliable operation, predictable updates, and seamless orchestration across distributed environments, whether deployments span dozens of locations or thousands of sites.

The result is a ready-to-deploy edge foundation that reduces integration risk and gives customers a consistent, manageable platform from day one.

A Stronger Edge Foundation for Customers

The combined solution is designed to support organizations in sectors such as retail, manufacturing, logistics, utilities, and smart infrastructure - anywhere reliable edge systems are needed to connect, control, and coordinate physical operations.

By working together, Compulab and CTHINGS.CO enable customers to:

• Roll out edge systems more quickly
• Maintain consistent operation across multiple locations
• Reduce manual intervention and operational overhead
• Build a stable, scalable foundation for connected services

“CTHINGS.CO brings orchestration that complements our hardware in a very natural way. Their platform gives customers the tools to roll out, monitor, and maintain our devices efficiently across diverse environments. Combined, our technologies give customers a straightforward, dependable way to operate edge systems at scale.”

— Benjamin Pinkas, Product Manager, Compulab

“At CTHINGS.CO, we focus on removing operational complexity from edge environments. Partnering with Compulab allows us to deliver a combination of well proven industrial-grade hardware and intelligent orchestration that helps customers get up and running faster and operate their systems with confidence.”

— Arnold Wierzejski, Founder & CEO, CTHINGS.CO

Integrated Edge Solutions on the Global Stage

The partnership has been showcased at leading global industry events, including the Mobile World Congress, Consumer Electronics Show, embedded world, and Wirepas OPEN, demonstrating how the Edge IoT Gateways running Orchestra and Orchestra OS support AI-powered edge workloads in real operational environments. The demonstrations highlighted how the integrated hardware and orchestration stack enables organizations to run AI-driven applications reliably across distributed sites.

Looking Ahead

The collaboration sets the stage for broader adoption of integrated edge solutions across new industries and environments. By aligning Compulab’s hardware expertise with CTHINGS.CO’s software and integration capabilities, the two companies are creating a flexible, dependable solution for the next generation of connected systems.
