Become a Portainer Industrial Partner

Get your solution onto the plant floor, and keep it running there.

Industrial customers want AI, analytics, and modern applications close to their machines. What slows them down is rarely the application. Instead, it's the work of deploying, updating, and securing software across sites with patchy connectivity, strict change control, and mixed hardware that isn't going anywhere. Portainer handles that layer, so your solution reaches production faster and stays healthy once it's there.

The challenge

Where industrial projects stall

A proof of concept on one gateway is the easy part. Rolling it out to 40 lines across six plants is where projects slow down. Updates go out by USB stick, nobody can say which version is running where, and IT and OT disagree about who owns the box.

Your customer judges your solution by how it behaves in year two, not week one. The operational layer underneath it matters as much as the application on top.

The application gets you the pilot. Operations get you the rollout.

The platform

What Portainer adds to a joint solution

Portainer is a self-hosted operational control plane for containerized applications in industrial and IoT environments. Partners use it to give customers a predictable way to run their software at the edge.

One place to manage every site

Deploy and update containerized applications across plants, lines, vehicles, and remote assets from a central console.

Built for restricted networks

A lightweight agent connects outbound, so it works behind firewalls and NAT without opening inbound ports.

Air-gapped and offline capable

Sites that lose connectivity, or never had it, keep running.

Access that fits IT and OT

Role-based access control lets platform teams set guardrails while site teams deploy what they need.

Runs on what customers already own

Industrial PCs and edge gateways stay in place. PLCs and SCADA are untouched. Nothing to rip, nothing to replace.

Customer data stays on site

Self-hosted, with no SaaS dependency.

Partner types

Who we partner with

Industrial software vendors (ISVs)

MES, industrial AI, analytics, historians, connectivity. Package your application once and deliver it consistently to every customer site, with versioning and rollback built in. Fewer site visits for your support team, faster time to value for your customers.
