Case Study: Gardner Denver achieves rapid digitalization and reduced equipment downtime with Software AG Cumulocity IoT

Gardner Denver Accelerates Enterprise Digitalization with Cloud of Things Iot Platform

Gardner Denver, a global manufacturer of industrial equipment founded in 1859 with operations in 32 countries, faced escalating costs and customer pain from unplanned compressor downtime, limited real-time fault detection, and no ability to remotely configure machines. Selling through a network of distributors and service partners, the company needed a secure, distributor-branded way to capture and share operational data so partners could respond faster and reduce costly repairs.

Gardner Denver deployed the cloud-based Cumulocity IoT platform—rebranded per compressor brand—to deliver device management, connectivity, real-time fault detection, remote configuration and custom dashboards, with plug-and-play integration and rapid setup in weeks. The solution cut equipment downtime, sped up trouble reporting and servicing, improved part replacement and repair cycles, and gave Gardner Denver a scalable, cost-effective SaaS model that strengthens distributor services and customer value.
