Wicklow, IE & Amsterdam, NL – 5th March 2019 –  Druid Software, the Wicklow based Irish cellular network technology company, announced today that it is expanding its key Port Automation and Industrial IoT reference site with its Benelux partners Koning & Hartman, Delft, Netherlands. Koning & Hartman deliver some of the most complex digital transformation projects in the world using Druids edge core private network technology and Airspan’s carrier grade base stations.

“Cargo handling is an information intensive business and is fiercely competitive. Shipping companies are quick to embrace new technologies to gain competitive advantage,” said Oswald Coene, CEO at Koning & Hartman on the announcement.  “The real time positioning application and control of unmanned vehicles requires dedicated data and very low latency.

Liam Kenny, CEO of Druid Software commented on the announcement “While our software application plays an essential part in management and control of these Industrial IoT, private networks, it is our local technology partners, like Koning & Hartman and their ability to integrate the Druid “Raemis” technology and Airspan’s hardware with the latest port automation application which adds huge value to these solutions.
