What CTHINGS.CO does

CTHINGS.CO sp. z o.o. is a Warsaw-based industrial IoT and edge computing company founded in 2018, operating as a privately held Polish limited liability company with 11-50 employees. The company develops and manufactures end-to-end 5G and IoT solutions built around its proprietary Orchestra platform — an AI-enabled edge orchestration stack that manages distributed edge AI and IoT systems across heterogeneous devices and networks. The product portfolio spans three layers: the Orchestra software platform (including CALM for containerized application lifecycle management, an Orchestra Python SDK, and a Data Collection visualization layer); industrial-grade Edge IoT Gateways (indoor and IP68-rated outdoor models); and certified wireless Connectivity Cards supporting LTE, 5G, Wirepas Mesh, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz protocols. Vertical solutions include CLASP for Industry 4.0 non-intrusive data collection, Wirepas-Modbus Bridge for legacy device integration, and Smart Infrastructure packages for smart city deployments.

The business model combines recurring SaaS subscriptions for the Orchestra platform (freemium trial plus tiered annual plans), hardware sales of gateways and connectivity cards, professional integration services, and managed services for industrial digital transformation. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise sales combined with a structured channel partner program and distribution through TME, alongside strategic technology partnerships with ASUS IoT, Wirepas, NVIDIA, Intel, and BlueUp. The company is certified to ISO 27001, GDPR, and SOC 1, and aligns its security architecture with EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), RED, and NIS2 requirements.

CTHINGS.CO targets industrial and infrastructure buyers across manufacturing, utilities, smart infrastructure, logistics, building management, healthcare, oil and gas, smart venues, and retail verticals. Named enterprise customers include Valmont Polska, NID ApS, Spin Robotics, workstatt GmbH, INGY, Compulab, BlueUp, and Microtech Technologies, with active deployments across Europe, North America, Japan, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia. The company has raised approximately $7.2M across six funding rounds since 2018, the largest being a 20 million PLN (~$4.8M) round in February 2023 led by ORLEN VC with PKO VC participating. Leadership is founder-led under CEO Arnold Wierzejski, with CTO Shreyas Vinod, CSO Aleksandar Bogoevski, and COO Barbara Stolorz forming the executive team.
