Dutch energy management, OEE solutions provider Frontix acquired by US-based Aptean

Sassenheim, the Netherlands-based Frontix BV, a provider of energy management and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) solutions, announced that it has been acquired by Aptean, a global provider of mission-critical enterprise software solutions.

US-based Aptean says that the Frontix OEE solution is complementary to what Aptean already has to offer process manufacturers in the Benelux. Frontix’s addition will therefore make it easier for the company to serve clients in this important sector.

Aptean says a major benefit of Frontix’s cloud solution is that it is highly effective, easy to implement, and convenient for all stakeholders, including plant operators. Aptean plans to use its global reach, resources, and technological know-how to make Frontix’s OEE monitoring programme reach more people.
