A HIGH-TECH INDUSTRIAL STARTUP
WITH YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Led by Markus Belte, Aluvation is built upon a history of successful pioneering developments that have gone on to become market standards.
Aluvation believes their success in transforming from Capex to an ‘As-a-Service’ business model hinged on choosing a single market leading partner in innovation with the right technology expertise, speed and collaborative spirit. After researching best in market IIoT Solutions providers, they decided relayr were the perfect choice.

- High quality aluminium components can only be achieved through very complex heat treatment and controlled cooling processes.
- Increasing demand for shorter production and delivery times.
- High transportation and logistics costs.
- Growing industry need for real time production changes and customization.
VISIONARY
SOLUTIONS.
Aluvation’s goal was to deliver a modular, mobile and cost-effective microfactories providing on-demand aluminium processing on a pay-per-use basis directly to their customers’ automotive manufacturing locations.

- Relayr’s edge/gateway device management capabilities collect, normalize and securely transmit data to the relayr platform.

- Increased revenues from new pay-per-use business model.
