Santa Clara, Calif. — April 8, 2026 — Litmus Automation today announced a new edge-to-cloud deployment architecture developed with Google Cloud that enables manufacturers to scale industrial data and AI initiatives across global operations.
The solution integrates Manufacturing Connect — the industrial data platform developed by Litmus for Google Cloud environments — with Google Distributed Cloud connected, enabling manufacturers to standardize how operational technology (OT) data is collected, contextualized, and delivered to analytics and AI services such as the BigQuery autonomous data to AI platform, Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, and Manufacturing Data Engine.
“Scaling industrial AI requires more than individual pilots — it requires a consistent edge-to-cloud architecture,” said Chris Hilderbrand, Head of Cloud Partnerships at Litmus Automation. “Our collaboration with Google Cloud enables manufacturers to transform raw industrial data into enterprise-ready data assets that power AI and analytics across their manufacturing facilities and supply chain.”
Many industrial AI initiatives fail to scale because each manufacturing facility deploys different infrastructure, data models, and integrations. By establishing a consistent edge-to-cloud architecture across plants, Litmus helps organizations replicate successful deployments across their entire manufacturing network using Google Cloud technologies.
“With Litmus, we’re providing an end-to-end solution that delivers the simplicity, scale, and speed that customers need to leverage their industrial data,” said Eliot Danner, Managing Director of Google Distributed Cloud at Google Cloud. “The integrated solution enables data and workloads to reside where it makes most sense for their business; at the edge, in the cloud, or in hybrid architectures.”
This architecture helps manufacturers unlock capabilities including:
● Predictive maintenance across equipment fleets
● Cross-site performance benchmarking
● Energy optimization across operations
● AI-powered quality analytics
Using Google Cloud, Litmus has supported global manufacturers including Bunge, Tyson Foods, Tata Steel, and Jaguar Land Rover in modernizing industrial data infrastructure and accelerating AI-driven innovation. Live demonstrations available at Hannover Messe and Google Cloud Next (week of April 20).
Litmus is the leading Industrial Edge Data Platform that helps manufacturers connect, contextualize, and govern OT data to make it AI-ready. Recognized by Gartner as a Challenger in the Magic Quadrant for Global Industrial IoT Platforms, Litmus enables real-time data pipelines from edge to cloud with 250+ out-of-the-box connectors, accelerating digital transformation and enabling industrial AI at scale.
Litmus partners with leading technology providers including Microsoft, Google Cloud, AWS, Databricks, Oracle Cloud, and Dell Technologies to deliver enterprise-grade solutions that unlock the full value of industrial data.
