TAIPEI,Taiwan,December5,2025—ASUS IoT, a global leader in intelligent edge AI and embedded IoThardware,has entered a strategic partnership withCTHINGS.CO, a Europe-based innovator connecting IoT platforms to industrial applications. The collaboration aims to help businesses extract actionable insights from their processes and assets by combining advanced hardware with AI-driven software for simplified, secure edge IoT deployments.

CTHINGS.CO specializes in industrial system integration, edge ML/AI computing, real-time remote actuation, advanced analytics, digital twins, and secure cloud-based platforms. With a strong focus on digitizing physical assets and unifying operations, the company helps organizations gain real-time visibility, break down system silos, and accelerate smarter decision-making. Leveraging next-generation connectivity and zero-trust security principles, CTHINGS.CO empowers businesses tooptimizeprocesses, reduce maintenance costs, streamline workflows, and future-proof their infrastructure, unlocking operational efficiency, scalability, and sustainable long-term growth.

Under the partnership, ASUS IoT’s industry-grade gateways will integrate with CTHINGS.CO’s Orchestraplatform, which streamlines device deployment, enables rapid configuration, ensures secure connectivity, and provides centralized remote management. This integration lowers the barriers to large-scale edge computing adoption, allowing enterprises to deploy edge devices faster, connect seamlessly to the cloud, and accelerate digital transformation.

Through a collaboration with CTHINGS.CO, ASUS IoT hardware supports an intelligent reverse-vending machine solution that features real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and enhanced bottle-verification accuracy. Powered by CTHINGS.CO’s Orchestra platform, the systemutilizesASUS IoT gateways to ensure reliable, low-latency computing and communication between devices and the cloud. Together, these technologies automate object recognition, streamline operations, andprovideactionable insights into fraud detection, bin capacity, return volumes, and compliance, enhancing overall efficiency andthe customerexperience.

In addition to developing intelligentreverse-vending solutions, this partnership also aims to deliver the IoT-enabled multifunctionalsmartpole. This solution transforms static urban infrastructure into dynamic, remotely managed poles by integrating surveillance cameras, energy-efficient lighting, weather sensors, public announcement systems, and EV chargers. By running the Orchestraplatform on ASUS IoT gateways, this complex system ensures streamlined, secure, and accelerated deployment for municipalities and private entities.
