SUSE has announced its acquisition of Losant, an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform. This strategic move completes SUSE’s Edge vision by extending its reach from the Near and Far Edge directly to the Tiny Edge.
With Losant, SUSE will break down the traditional silos of the industrial landscape and be the first to offer a full-stack open process automation platform for IIoT, providing real-time insights and actionable intelligence. With a focus on interoperability, SUSE’s Edge portfolio will enable customers to modernize operations and move faster, as well as benefit from open source economics, as IIoT and AI capabilities operate together at the Edge.
“The acquisition of Losant transforms SUSE from an edge infrastructure provider to a full-stack Industrial IoT leader. It allows us to deliver to customers the part of the Edge where the digital world directly meets the physical one, where machines, environments, and people interact in real time, and where AI can be meaningfully deployed to gain better insight into real-world processes,” said general manager of SUSE Edge, Keith Basil. “With Losant, we will move faster from infrastructure to operational outcomes combining our Edge portfolio and products like SUSE AI, allowing deeper collaboration with industrial partners, equipment manufacturers and industrial open source communities as the ecosystem continues to evolve.”
“Joining forces with SUSE is the natural next step for Losant. Combining our low-code Industrial Internet of Things platform with SUSE’s 30 plus years of experience in enterprise software will provide customers with stability and interoperability, allowing us to accelerate our mission to help IT leaders turn complex data into immediate operational value,” said Charlie Key, CEO of Losant. “We are excited to bring our Tiny Edge capabilities to a much larger stage.”
Losant was recognized in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Global Industrial IoT Platforms. The Losant platform and its people will be part of the SUSE Edge portfolio and business unit. SUSE plans to open source the Losant technology and work with aligned open source communities assessing where Losant technology can accelerate interface standardization, interoperability, and process automation capabilities globally.
