Litmus Announces Strategic Partnership With Microsoft to Deliver Seamless Edge-to-Cloud Industrial AI Solutions

Litmus Edge integration with Microsoft Azure IoT Operations streamlines the orchestration of industrial devices, data, and AI at the edge.

HANNOVER, DE / ACCESS Newswire / March 31, 2025 /Litmus, a leading Industrial Data Operations platform provider, today announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft to deliver a seamless edge-to-cloud solution for industrial customers. By integrating Litmus Edge with Microsoft Azure IoT Operations, industrial companies can now more easily connect, manage, and leverage operations data to accelerate advanced applications and AI adoption.

The solution, integrated via the Akri Litmus Connector, simplifies real-time data collection, contextualization, and processing directly from industrial devices at the edge. With Azure IoT Operations, customers add the adaptive cloud approach of edge and cloud symmetry with scalable management, discoverability, observability, and security from Azure Arc, ARM and Entra ID. Automatic device discovery and native Kubernetes integration further streamline the scalability and management of edge-to-cloud deployments. Together, these capabilities provide a unified data foundation to rapidly scale data transformation and AI-driven operational improvements. The result is a seamless flow of data from disparate industrial assets directly into Azure, enabling real-time insights that help optimize operations at the edge.

"Our partnership with Microsoft helps industrial companies seeking to accelerate their digital transformation," said Vatsal Shah, CEO of Litmus. "By simplifying the complexities of edge data management, we 're enabling customers to focus on leveraging data at scale to drive tangible business outcomes, such as reduced downtime and improved product quality."

"Azure 's adaptive cloud approach empowers customers to unify their information modeling layers by easily integrating edge, on-premises, and cloud environments with a consistent, scalable platform," said Dayan Rodriguez, Corporate Vice President, Manufacturing and Mobility, Microsoft added, "The integration of Litmus technology further strengthens our Azure IoT Operations solution, creating a unified data plane enabling customers to streamline OT data ops at scale, while simplifying the overall management and orchestration of edge deployments from the cloud."
