Eight Solutions Inc. announced a two-year licensing agreement to integrate the Cumul8 Internet of Things (IoT) data platform within each new piece of equipment sold by BID Group of Companies. BID Group will leverage the cloud-based Cumul8 platform to bring their turnkey mills and machines into a new "digitally" connected mill system. By implementing Cumul8 inside each of their new machines, BID Group will extend their client care by providing even greater actionable insights and predictive analytics on both operational and machine health, resulting in more optimized mills, reduced downtime, and higher returns on capital investment. The Cumul8 platform is currently being implemented at two recently completed turnkey facilities with additional implementations scheduled for 2018. As part of the agreement, Cumul8 will provide software development services to support the BID Group's rapidly growing internal digital strategy. BID Group understands that by connecting each of their machines and with the help of the Cumul8 IoT data platform, they can maximize uptime and operational efficiency through an expanded initiative of Cumul8:Inside along with their own R&D solutions.
