American Portwell Technology: Paving the path to increase client’s value to market

As Industry 4.0 is all set to take over the globe, the IIoT market reaches its broad-based critical mass, beginning a new wave of innovation in analytics software, cloud technologies, and business and IT services. According to a recent study by International Data Corporation (IDC), it is estimated that the global IIoT technology market is expected to reach 1.2 trillion USD by 2022. A key driver propelling IIoT growth is the need for standard protocols and devices that provide wide input power range, adequate network bandwidth to support 5G, lower power consumption, and is designed to fit in harsh industrial environments. These IIoT deployments are enabling enterprises to enhance operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and gain a competitive advantage in the market.

Established in 1999 and headquartered in Fremont, California, American Portwell Technology (APT), is a subsidiary of Portwell, Inc. Initially, the company was a leading embedded computer manufacturer that focused on the network appliance category and manufactured computer hardware to enable security-related functions to be executed in IIoT devices.
