AcuRite must kill its customers’ favorite companion app due to “obsolete technology,” VP of product development Jeff Bovee tells Ars Technica.

AcuRite, which makes smart weather-monitoring devices, announced this month that the My AcuRite iOS and Android app that has been around since 2016 won’t be available after May 30. After that date, device owners must use AcuRite NOW, which AcuRite released in June 2025, to control their gadgets.

The announcement has frustrated long-time AcuRite users, largely because the new app lacks some of its predecessors’ capabilities. For example, AcuRite NOW doesn’t allow renaming multiple temperature sensors, organizing on-screen sensors, or reporting temperatures as anything other than whole numbers (AcuRite says it’s working on adding some of these features).

Canadian authorities on Wednesday arrested a 23-year-old Ottawa man on suspicion of building and operating Kimwolf, a fast spreading Internet-of-Things botnet that enslaved millions of devices for use in a series of massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks over the past six months. KrebsOnSecurity publicly named the suspect in February 2026 after the accused launched a volley of DDoS, doxing and swatting campaigns against this author and a security researcher. He now faces criminal hacking charges in both Canada and the United States.

A criminal complaint unsealed today in an Alaska district court charges Jacob Butler, a.k.a. “Dort,” of Ottawa, Canada with operating the Kimwolf DDoS botnet. A statement from the Department of Justice says the complaint against Butler was unsealed following the defendant’s arrest in Canada by the Ontario Provincial Police pursuant to a U.S. extradition warrant. Butler is currently in Canadian custody awaiting an initial court hearing scheduled for early next week.

The government said Kimwolf targeted infected devices which were traditionally “firewalled” from the rest of the internet, such as digital photo frames and web cameras. The infected systems were then rented to other cybercriminals, or forced to participate in record-smashing DDoS attacks, as well as assaults that affected Internet address ranges for the Department of Defense. Consequently, the DoD’s Defense Criminal Investigative Service is investigating the case, with assistance from the FBI field office in Anchorage.

“KimWolf was tied to DDoS attacks which were measured at nearly 30 Terabits per second, a record in recorded DDoS attack volume,” the Justice Department statement reads. “These attacks resulted in financial losses which, for some victims, exceeded one million dollars. The KimWolf botnet is alleged to have issued over 25,000 attack commands.”

On March 19, U.S. authorities joined international law enforcement partners in seizing the technical infrastructure for Kimwolf and three other large DDoS botnets — named Aisuru, JackSkid and Mossad — that were all competing for the same pool of vulnerable devices.

On February 28, KrebsOnSecurity identified Butler as the Kimwolf botmaster after digging through his various email addresses, registrations on the cybercrime forums, and posts to public Telegram and Discord servers. However, Dort continued to threaten and harass researchers who helped track down his real-life identity and dramatically slow the spread of his botnet.

Dort claimed responsibility for at least two swatting attacks targeting the founder of Synthient, a security startup that helped to secure a widespread critical security weakness that Kimwolf was using to spread faster and more effectively than any other IoT botnet out there. Synthient was among many technology companies thanked by the Justice Department today, and Synthient’s founder Ben Brundage told KrebsOnSecurity he’s relieved Butler is in custody.

“Hopefully this will end the harassment,” Brundage said.

An excerpt from the criminal complaint against Butler, detailing how he ordered a swatting attack against Ben Brundage, the founder of the security firm Synthient.

The government says investigators connected Butler to the administration of the KimWolf botnet through IP address, online account information, transaction records, and online messaging application records obtained through the issuance of legal process. The criminal complaint against Butler (PDF) shows he did little to separate his real-life and cybercriminal identities (something we demonstrated in our February unmasking of Dort).

In April, the Justice Department joined authorities across Europe in seizing domain names tied to nearly four-dozen DDoS-for-hire services, although because of a bureaucratic mix-up the list of seized domains has remain sealed until today. The DOJ said at least one of those services collaborated with Butler’s Kimwolf botnet.

A statement from the Ontario Provincial Police said a search warrant was executed on March 19 at Butler’s address in Ottawa, where they seized multiple devices. As a result of that investigation, Butler was arrested and charged this week with unauthorized user of computer; possession of device to obtain unauthorized use of computer system or to commit mischief; and mischief in relation to computer data. He is scheduled to remain in custody until a hearing on May 26.

In the United States, Butler is facing one count of aiding and abetting computer intrusion. If extradited, tried and convicted in a U.S. court, Butler could face up to 10 years in prison, although that maximum sentence would likely be heavily tempered by considerations in the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, which make allowances for mitigating factors such as youth, lack of criminal history and level of cooperation with investigators.

Most procurement managers don’t realize how wide the quality gap is between suppliers of industrial processing equipment until a piece fails mid-run. Long lead times, inconsistent product quality, and suppliers who disappear after the sale are problems that quietly drain equipment reliability and inflate the total cost of ownership. After reviewing dozens of options across the food, pharma, HVAC, and high-performance computing sectors, this guide cuts through the noise and breaks down five suppliers worth serious consideration.

The research approach for this ranking

Each company on this list was evaluated by pulling together publicly available information from official websites, case studies, trade directories, and customer feedback platforms. Only suppliers with a demonstrated track record in industrial manufacturing made the cut.

→ See the full research breakdown

  • CSI Store – Best for food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical facilities needing engineered fabrication, sanitary parts inventory, and preventative maintenance
  • Schneider Electric – Best for industrial automation, energy management, and enterprise digitalization
  • STULZ – Best for data center cooling and industrial climate control
  • CoolIT Systems – Best for high-performance compute and AI cooling systems for hyperscalers and data centers
  • Daikin Applied – Best for industrial and commercial HVAC systems manufacturing

Why Suppliers Of Industrial Processing Equipment Matter for Your Business

The supplier you choose shapes more than just your purchase order. It affects your equipment reliability, your OEE score, and the real cost you carry over the full equipment lifecycle.

Finding reliable suppliers with consistent product quality and on-time delivery is harder than it sounds, especially when lead times for industrial processing equipment can stretch for months during supply chain disruptions.

A poorly matched supplier often means slower MTTR when something breaks, because spare parts aren’t stocked locally or technical support requires a long escalation chain.

Specialized suppliers bring a different kind of value. They understand regulated environments, sanitary standards, and the operational realities your facility deals with daily.

The right match consistently improves MTBF, keeps on-time delivery rates high, and gives your maintenance team something reliable to work with when it matters most.

Top 5 Suppliers Of Industrial Processing Equipment Breakdown and Comparison

Information presented below draws from review platforms and company websites.

Company Name Years Operating Headquartered In
CSI Store 47+ years (est. 1977) Springfield, MO, USA
Schneider Electric 188+ years (est. 1836) Rueil-Malmaison, France
STULZ 75+ years (est. 1947) Hamburg, Germany
CoolIT Systems 20+ years (est. 2001) Calgary, Canada
Daikin Applied 100+ years (est. 1924) Plymouth, MN, USA

CSI Store – Best for Sanitary Processing Equipment, Fabrication, and Regulated Industry Supply

What Does CSI Store Do?

Few suppliers in this space bring engineering, fabrication, and parts distribution under one roof the way that Central States Industrial (CSI) Store does for hygienic liquid processing. Operating since 1977, they serve food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and personal care manufacturers across the US. Their in-house team includes ASME Section IX certified welders and CNC machinists who build custom CIP systems, HTST units, process skids, and valve manifolds. Five US distribution centers back it all up with stocked sanitary components ready to ship.

Why Does CSI Store Stand Out for Suppliers Of Industrial Processing Equipment?

Regulated manufacturers often struggle to find a single source that handles both the custom fabrication side and the day-to-day parts replenishment side without quality gaps in between. CSI Store’s Level II inspection protocols and climate-controlled fabrication environment mean the equipment leaving their facility meets the same standard every single time. And that matters a lot when you’re running 3-A or ASME-BPE compliant systems.

Summary of Real User Reviews:

Customers in food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing consistently point to reliable product quality and knowledgeable technical support as the two things CSI Store gets right. There’s a clear pattern of buyers returning because the sanitary components arrive correctly specified and ready to install. That kind of consistency is rare in this segment and genuinely hard to match.

Schneider Electric – Best for Industrial Automation, Energy Management, and Enterprise Digitalization

What Does Schneider Electric Do?

Schneider Electric is a French multinational with over 188 years in the energy technology and automation business. They cover automation and control products, low voltage systems, medium voltage distribution, solar and energy storage, and infrastructure services for industrial and commercial applications. Their EcoStruxure IoT architecture ties together asset performance monitoring across industries, data centers, buildings, and infrastructure. With a team of over 159,000 employees and a global reach, they operate at a scale few competitors can match.

Why Does Schneider Electric Stand Out for Suppliers Of Industrial Processing Equipment?

Industrial plants dealing with aging electrical infrastructure and growing automation needs require a supplier with both the product depth and the global service network to back it up. Schneider Electric’s decades of strategic acquisitions in the automation and digitalization space give their industrial clients a proven path from legacy systems to connected, data-monitored operations (think enterprise scale, not small-shop upgrades).

Summary of Real User Reviews:

Schneider Electric receives broad and consistent recognition. Being named among the Top 100 Most Ethical Companies for 13 consecutive years and earning a platinum recognition award repeatedly signals a company that runs its operations with real discipline. Users in industrial settings tend to point to product reliability and the depth of their technical documentation as standout positives.

STULZ – Best for Data Center Cooling and Industrial Climate Control

What Does STULZ Do?

STULZ has been building precision cooling systems out of Hamburg, Germany since 1947. Their product line spans computer room air conditioners, air handlers, ultrasonic humidifiers, dehumidifiers, chillers, and liquid cooling systems, all built around the demands of data centers and controlled environments. With 8,200 employees, 11 production sites, and operations spanning 21 subsidiaries across Africa, America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, they serve customers in more than 150 countries. Their CyberCool WaterTec series reflects their push toward eco-friendly, low-GWP refrigerant solutions.

Why Does STULZ Stand Out for Suppliers Of Industrial Processing Equipment?

Facilities running demanding equipment can’t afford thermal management failures. STULZ’s “German Engineering” foundation, combined with 75+ years of focused manufacturing gives their systems a reliability track record that holds up under serious operational scrutiny. Their commitment to eco-friendly refrigerants also puts them ahead of industrial customers who are now managing tighter environmental compliance timelines.

Summary of Real User Reviews:

STULZ earns consistent praise in data center and industrial cooling circles for its build quality and the durability of their systems over long operating cycles. Customers frequently note that the global service network makes support accessible even in markets outside Europe. That kind of reach is genuinely hard to match at this level of product specialization.

CoolIT Systems – Best for High-Performance Compute and AI Cooling Infrastructure

What Does CoolIT Systems Do?

CoolIT Systems designs, engineers, and manufactures liquid cooling systems for AI workloads and high-performance computing at hyperscale. Their product portfolio covers cold plates, coolant distribution units, rack manifolds, and integrated cooling loops. Founded in Calgary in 2001, the company now runs manufacturing operations across Canada, China, and Vietnam. They support customers from initial system design all the way through global onsite service, project management, and team training (not a small operation for a 650-person company). Their Rack DLC technology uses AI-driven optical screening and robotic assembly for consistent quality at volume.

Why Does CoolIT Systems Stand Out for Suppliers Of Industrial Processing Equipment?

High-density compute environments generate thermal loads that conventional air cooling simply can’t keep up with at scale. CoolIT’s modular liquid cooling architecture was built for that problem. Their technology currently cools seven of the top ten supercomputers globally, including the number one-ranked El Capitan system, which is about as strong a real-world proof point as you can find in this segment.

Summary of Real User Reviews:

CoolIT’s Financial Times Americas Fastest Growing Companies recognition and Deloitte Technology Fast 500 ranking reflect a company that’s gaining serious ground with demanding customers. Reviewers from national labs and hyperscale operators point to manufacturing consistency and system reliability as the qualities that keep them coming back. Their ISO 9001:2015 certification shows up in real-world product quality, not just documentation.

Daikin Applied – Best for Industrial and Commercial HVAC Systems Manufacturing

What Does Daikin Applied Do?

Daikin Applied designs and manufactures commercial and industrial HVAC systems, including rooftop systems, chillers, air handlers, and air purifiers. Based in Plymouth, Minnesota, they operate as part of Daikin Industries, a Forbes 2000 company and the world’s largest air conditioning manufacturer. Their 170 dedicated sales, service, and parts offices give industrial customers genuine global coverage with local access. They focus on advanced compressor technology and IoT-connected systems to deliver energy-optimized climate control across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Why Does Daikin Applied Stand Out for Suppliers Of Industrial Processing Equipment?

Industrial manufacturers sourcing HVAC systems need more than a product catalog. They need reliable after-sales support, fast parts availability, and service teams who understand the operational demands of continuous production environments. Daikin Applied’s 170-office global network and 24/7 support capabilities directly address the spare parts lead time and MTTR challenges that make facility managers nervous when a chiller goes down unexpectedly.

Summary of Real User Reviews:

Winning the gold award in HVAC Commercial Equipment and the Engineered Systems’ Commercial Comfort Products of the Year Award puts Daikin Applied in a short group of suppliers with recognized product excellence. Customers in industrial settings consistently mention the depth of the service network and parts availability as important reasons for repeat purchasing. The backing of a $30.8 billion parent company gives buyers confidence in long-term supplier stability (not a small thing when you’re looking at a 20-year equipment lifecycle).

Research Methodology and Selection Process

Building this list required more than a quick review of company websites. A structured research process was followed to make sure every supplier included here could hold up to scrutiny from a real procurement professional.

Initial Data Collection

The starting point was a broad sweep across trade directories, industry publications, manufacturer association listings, and public-facing review platforms relevant to industrial processing equipment. Companies were gathered into a longlist based on their presence across multiple independent sources, not just their own marketing materials. Case studies published by the companies and third-party distribution records were also pulled in at this stage to get an initial sense of scope and specialization.

Shortlisting Phase

The longlist was then filtered down based on a few non-negotiable criteria. Suppliers with limited verifiable history in industrial manufacturing, no documented client base, or review profiles that showed patterns of unresolved complaints were removed. Review data was checked for consistency across multiple platforms rather than relying on any single source. Companies that appeared only in self-published content without third-party validation didn’t make it past this phase.

Verification of Claims

Every claim pulled from a company’s official website was cross-checked against external sources where possible. Service capabilities, manufacturing certifications, geographic reach, and operational history were all tested against what showed up in independent reviews, trade coverage, and publicly available company records. Where website claims and real-world feedback didn’t align, the external evidence was treated as more reliable.

Authority and Industry Contribution Layer

Suppliers were then evaluated on signals beyond their standard product line. Industry awards, mentions in recognized trade publications, original technical documentation, and membership in relevant manufacturing and standards bodies were all factored in. A company that shows up consistently in these areas has generally built real standing in its field, not just a polished website.

Suppliers Of Industrial Processing Equipment-Specific Evidence

The final layer focused on how well each company’s published content, verified reviews, and documented case studies lined up with industrial processing equipment applications. Suppliers with dedicated service coverage for regulated environments, documented experience across multiple industrial sectors, and clear technical depth in areas like sanitary fabrication, cooling systems, or automation infrastructure scored higher. Generic industrial suppliers without specific application evidence were not included in the final list.

How to Choose the Right Suppliers Of Industrial Processing Equipment

Start by mapping your facility’s actual needs before talking to any supplier. The best fit depends on what you’re running, what standards you’re held to, and how much equipment interruption you can tolerate.

  • Industry and Domain Experience: Look for suppliers who have worked in your specific sector, whether that’s food processing, pharmaceutical, data center cooling, or heavy industrial. A supplier who knows your regulatory environment saves you enormous time during procurement and commissioning.
  • Features and Service Offerings: Confirm whether the supplier handles fabrication, distribution, technical support, and spare parts all in-house or subcontracts important pieces. The fewer handoffs in the chain, the more reliable the outcome.
  • Pricing Structure: Compare total cost of ownership, not just the upfront purchase price. Factor in spare parts availability, lead times, and service contract costs over the equipment’s full lifecycle.
  • Results Measurement: Ask suppliers how they track and report on equipment performance post-installation. Suppliers who help you monitor OEE and MTBF data are invested in your long-term outcomes.
  • Industry Knowledge and Compliance: Verify that the supplier’s products and processes meet the specific certifications your application requires, including ISO 9001, 3-A Sanitary Standards, ASME-BPE, CE marking, or ATEX, depending on your operating environment.

Bottom Line

Choosing among suppliers of industrial processing equipment comes down to fit, not just price. The companies on this list cover a serious range, from CSI Store’s sanitary fabrication knowledge to Schneider Electric’s automation scale to CoolIT’s hyperscale cooling precision. What they share is a documented track record and real operational depth in demanding environments. As industrial facilities push toward higher OEE targets and tighter compliance requirements, the supplier relationship becomes even more consequential over time.

IT-dienstverlener Cegeka presenteert een cyber recovery-aanpak die verder gaat dan traditionele back-up en disaster recovery. De aanpak richt zich op het gecontroleerd opnieuw opstarten van een organisatie na een cyberincident, met de nadruk op kritische bedrijfsprocessen. Cegeka kondigt dit aan naar aanleiding van Cybersec Europe 2026.

Cegeka brengt een cyber recovery-aanpak uit die organisaties in staat moet stellen hun meest kritische processen snel te hervatten na een cyberincident. Centraal concept is de ‘Minimum Viable Company’: het vooraf bepalen welke processen, systemen en data minimaal nodig zijn om de bedrijfsvoering te hervatten.

Volgens het ENISA Threat Landscape Report 2025 is ransomware verantwoordelijk voor meer dan 80 procent van de cyberincidenten in Europa en de voornaamste oorzaak van operationele verstoringen. Het IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025 becijfert de gemiddelde kosten van een datalek wereldwijd op meer dan 4 miljoen dollar.

Van preventie naar herstel

Cegeka pleit al langer voor een bredere benadering van cybersecurity, waarbij herstel een structureel onderdeel is van de aanpak. Remco Geerts, Business Unit Manager Cybersecurity & Networking bij Cegeka, stelt dat bescherming alleen onvoldoende is. Organisaties moeten er volgens hem van uitgaan dat incidenten zullen plaatsvinden, en zich daarop voorbereiden door te focussen op weerbaarheid en hersteltijd.

Gaetan Willems, Global VP Cloud & Digital Platforms bij Cegeka, geeft aan dat herstel geen reactieve stap is, maar vooraf moet worden ingericht. Organisaties die proberen alles tegelijk te herstellen, lopen volgens Willems aan tegen vertraging en complexiteit. Door vooraf prioriteiten te stellen, kan de impact van een incident beheersbaar blijven.

Breder dan cyberaanvallen

De aanpak beperkt zich niet tot cyberincidenten. Cegeka meldt dat ook andere verstoringen, zoals systeemuitval of infrastructuurproblemen, de afhankelijkheid van digitale processen zichtbaar maken. Regelgeving zoals NIS2 en DORA vergroot de aandacht voor dit onderwerp en legt aanvullende eisen op het gebied van bedrijfscontinuïteit en herstelvermogen.

Cegeka beoogt cybersecurity te integreren in een bredere IT-aanpak, waarbij preventie, detectie, respons en herstel als één geheel worden beheerd. Geerts stelt dat een geïntegreerde aanpak het mogelijk maakt om risico’s te beperken én snel te herstellen, in plaats van cybersecurity als afzonderlijk onderdeel te behandelen.

De Gartner 2025 CEO Survey, die Cegeka aanhaalt ter onderbouwing, laat zien dat 85 procent van de CEO’s cybersecurity als cruciaal beschouwt voor groei, terwijl het besef groeit dat bescherming alleen niet volstaat.
