Arduino and DMC agree to System Integrator Partnership

Sept. 15, 2023

Joint agreement is designed to bring open technology to manufacturing automation and embedded applications

Arduino and DMC have agreed to a partnership to unlock the ability to provide end-to-end commercial technology for automation and product development in enterprises deploying Arduino PRO products.

DMC joins Arduino’s ecosystem as a platinum partner, part of the Arduino System Integrators Partnership Program. The program is designed to fuel growth for professional-service companies integrating Arduino technology in commercial projects for enterprise clients. Under the partnership, DMC and Arduino jointly approach projects to accelerate time-to-market and reduce non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs.

“We're immensely proud to join the Arduino System Integrator program,” said Frank Riordan, DMC’s founder and CEO. “This partnership signifies DMC's dedication to pushing the boundaries of innovation. Together, we aim to offer integrated solutions that will revolutionize the way creators and industries approach technology.”

The partnership will initially focus on producing commercial tools for manufacturing, logistic centers and factories leveraging Arduino’s Opta PLC and Portenta Machine Controller, as well as OEM product development incorporating the Portenta and Nicla line of modules for embedded applications.

"For extensive automation and design projects, especially in the growing Arduino PRO ecosystem, DMC stands out as the preferred integrator,” said Guneet Bedi, Arduino's senior vice president and general manager. “Our mutual objective is to assist forward-thinking industrial clients in creating and implementing automation and digital initiatives that deliver significant benefits. Arduino and DMC will jointly establish a higher standard for what enterprises can anticipate from open technology."

The announcement marks another step from Arduino to meet demand for Arduino PRO hardware and software technology in applications for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Other recent milestones include joining the AWS Partner Network and the expansion of two North American offices.
