What Awayter does

Awayter S.L., founded in 2021 in Vic (Barcelona), Spain, by Eudald Bover, Joan Prat, and Jordi Sans, is a privately held industrial-IoT company that began in automated healthy canteens and pivoted in 2024 to horizontal digitalization of industrial machinery. The company sells an end-to-end stack combining the Awayter Connect cloud platform (administration, monitoring, alarm system, AI analytics, digital twin, production/maintenance, licenses and payments, reporting/billing, and custom development modules) with the Awayter Edge industrial IoT gateway, a microprocessor-based controller supporting Modbus RTU/TCP, OPC UA, MQTT, BACnet, RS-232/485, Ethernet, CAN bus, USB, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRaWAN, and GNSS, secured via SSL/TLS, X.509, ISO 27001, and ENS certification.

The business primarily serves industrial-machinery OEMs across HVAC, water pressure and treatment, livestock, healthcare, plastics, chemicals, textiles, logistics, and energy—offering connected-equipment, predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, and digital-service monetization. Reported scale includes 25+ industrial-machinery manufacturers, 97 delivered projects, 1,500 connected machines, and 10,118 end users, with one anchor account (CORSA) deploying 1,000+ connected devices. Awayter also retains narrower product lines (Awayter Canteen with the patented Opti-Stack system, Awayter Refill, AWARE smart water refill, ReLoop reusable packaging) targeting hospitals, universities, and hospitality.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid mix of Awayter Connect platform subscriptions, Awayter Edge hardware sales, usage- or feature-based managed digital services, and professional services for consulting, customization, pilot testing, and deployment. Go-to-market is sales-led B2B with multi-year contracts, custom quote-based pricing (not publicly disclosed), 3–5 month deployment cycles, and an expanding commercial-partner network in Spain with internationalization supported by ACCIÓ (Government of Catalonia). The company is funded via non-dilutive grants from CDTI Innovación, European MRR Funds, and ENISA rather than venture capital.

Direct peers

• Sight Machine: Manufacturing analytics platform that turns machine and line data into production insights, OEE, and quality analytics. Comparable value proposition to Awayter's AI Analytics and Digital Twin modules, with a similar focus on discrete-manufacturing OEMs.
• Particle Industries: End-to-end IoT platform with own hardware (cellular/Wi-Fi modules) plus cloud infrastructure and edge-to-cloud orchestration. Directly comparable to Awayter's combined Edge gateway + Connect cloud play, including its OS-level device management and integration libraries.
• Tulip Interfaces: Frontline operations and machine monitoring platform used by manufacturers to capture shop-floor data, build apps, and connect equipment. Comparable to Awayter's combination of edge data capture, app-style platform customization, and rapid deployment model for industrial OEMs.
• Losant: Enterprise IoT platform offering device management, data ingestion, edge computing, dashboards, and workflows, sold into industrial and enterprise customers. Comparable feature surface and target-market overlap with Awayter Connect and its modular AI/Alarm/Digital Twin offering.
• MachineMetrics: Cloud-based IIoT platform purpose-built for monitoring and analyzing industrial machinery in real time. Closely comparable to Awayter Connect's manufacturer-targeted approach with plug-and-play connectivity, dashboards, alerts, and predictive capabilities across discrete manufacturing assets.

Emerging players

• ClearBlade: Edge IoT platform enabling enterprise customers to deploy and orchestrate edge gateways and cloud analytics. Shares Awayter's edge + cloud architecture and emphasis on industrial-grade connectivity (Modbus, OPC UA-style integrations).
• Litmus Automation: Industrial edge-to-cloud IIoT platform focused on connectivity, AI/ML analytics, and data integration for manufacturing and process industries. Directly comparable in target customer (machine builders, OEMs) and edge-or-cloud analytics offering.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Insights Hub (formerly MindSphere): Siemens's industrial cloud platform for asset connectivity, monitoring and analytics across discrete and process industries. The most established cloud-IIoT incumbent that Spanish and EU industrial machinery OEMs benchmark against when choosing an IIoT vendor.
• PTC ThingWorx (now part of Rockwell): Enterprise-scale IIoT platform from PTC/Rockwell with connectivity, analytics, and AR components used by global industrial OEMs. A larger incumbent in the same category Awayter competes in for machinery-manufacturer digitalization deals.
• Bosch IoT / Nexeed Industrial Software: Bosch's industrial IoT platform and gateway stack targeting factory and machine-builder use cases. Competes with Awayter at EU industrial machinery OEMs and offers a benchmark for scale, modules and reference customers.
