(NYSE: HLIO) ("Helios" or the "Company"), a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology, is advancing innovation in the commercial kitchen industry through the collaboration of its operating company, i3 Product Development and its Cygnus Reach software platform, with Alto-Shaam. This partnership has enhanced the scalability, security, and data-driven capabilities of Alto-Shaam's ChefLinc™ remote oven management system, delivering significant value to customers. Originally focused on system maintenance and support, i3 Product Development identified opportunities to rebuild the ChefLinc™ infrastructure, ensuring a more robust and scalable solution for Alto-Shaam. This collaboration has aided Alto-Shaam in creating a more secure and efficient platform that will scale with its fast-growing customer base. "We rebuilt the entire platform with i3's help; we're reaping the rewards of that now. Then we integrated Cygnus Reach, and we're getting those benefits too," said Kevin Bernier, Director of Product Management for IoT at Alto-Shaam.
