mCloud provides tools to monitor and analyze the health of equipment - or assets - such as an HVAC unit or a wind turbine.
They can be hooked up via the IoT to the company's real-time data platform, where experts can monitor and analyse trends, meaning it can be kept running well and cheaper.
"Cinemark leads the industry with exceptional energy management and we are excited to partner with a company whose goals and objectives align with our vision and trajectory," Dave Weinerth, mCloud's president of Smart Buildings, told investors.
"We are extremely pleased to extend AssetCareTM to more than 600 total Cinemark HVAC units across the US, broadening our total impact on the performance of more than 20,000 total assets expected by year end."
