- One standard architecture replaced 35 separate software versions
- Production-ready deployment delivered on time - a first for Cummins’ telematics platform
- Massive cost reduction through simplified development and maintenance
- Industry validation - the same containerized approach is now being adopted across the automotive sector
- Open collaboration - Cummins contributes its learnings and APIs to the Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle Working Group and COVESA
As Carlton Bale, Director of Software at Cummins, puts it:
“It’s far more convincing to show partners what’s running in production than to show slides promising it will work. Portainer helped us prove it.”
Portainer’s collaboration with Cummins drove major improvements in scalability and reliability for all Portainer customers. As Neil Cresswell, CEO of Portainer, explains:
“Working with Cummins pushed us to redesign core parts of Portainer to handle concurrency and reliability at IoT scale - hundreds of thousands of devices, all communicating securely and concurrently.”
“For Cummins to take container technology from the data center into vehicles was bold. They showed incredible vision, and we were proud to help make it real.”
What began as an ambitious prototype is now a global reference architecture for software-defined industrial and automotive systems.
