Patti Engineering is collaborating with Arduino to drive innovation, reduce costs, and speed project timelines in sectors like manufacturing and logistics.
AUBURN HILLS, Mich.—A new strategic partnership between control systems integration company Patti Engineering, Inc., and the open-source hardware and software pioneer Arduino is focused on fueling growth for professional service companies that are integrating Arduino technology in commercial projects for enterprise clients, Patti Engineering said in a release.
Patti Engineering joins the Arduino System Integrators Partnership Program as a Platinum Partner. The company is a seven-time CSIA Certified control systems integration company that offers high-caliber engineering and software development services. Its technical expertise in electrical control and information systems provides turnkey control systems integration for design/build, upgrade/retrofit, and asset/energy management projects, the company said.
“We believe that Patti Engineering’s wealth of experience and proficiency in Industry 4.0, robotics, control systems integration, and asset tracking will bring unparalleled value to our community,” said Paul Kaeley, strategic sales advisor to Arduino, in a statement. “Together, we look forward to pushing the boundaries of what is possible and driving innovation in the world of technology and manufacturing.”
Arduino has recently expanded its product offerings to include Arduino Pro, a line designed for integration into industrial product markets. Patti Engineering plans to implement Arduino as a low-cost Edge device for legacy machinery, reducing the need for IO modules and enabling a platform-agnostic approach for end-products, independent of the specific PLC in use. The partnership with Arduino enables Patti Engineering’s engineers to work with clients further on digitalizing plant-floor data by connecting machinery to the Edge and Cloud, according to the release.
“Our staff is excited to partner with Arduino,” said Pattie Engineering CEO Sam Hoff, in the release. “Many of our team members have experience with Arduino outside of Patti Engineering in their education projects. We are excited to bring this innovative product line to our offering. It will allow us to help our clients with their digitalization journey as we look to close the gap between the plant floor and the cloud.”
Patti Engineering has developed extensive industry expertise throughout the rigorous Arduino partner application process, which resulted in Platinum Partner status. As a Platinum Partner focusing on hardware, software, cloud, and general solutions, Patti Engineering receives access to select supply agreements from Arduino.
Arduino is a developer of open-source hardware and software that is designed to provide an accessible platform and ecosystem for creativity and innovation. Engineers, designers, students, and makers around the world use Arduino to innovate in product development, education, industrial automation, smart homes, and autonomous vehicles.
