“We’re working at the forefront of an industrial revolution. That’s exciting.”

Rine le Comte, CTO

Who we are

We are a team with a range of different backgrounds. What’s brought us together is that we all enjoy breaking away from the constraints of traditional approaches to have the freedom to be truly innovative.

Technology

innius has been built using microservice architecture and is hosted by Amazon Web Services. Our web and mob apps have been designed and built with Angular. Machines talk to innius using the industrial standards, like OPC UA, DA or via an eWON Flexy modem.

How we started

innius started life as a research project back in October 2014. The research project looked into how we could leverage extensive experience in building software for the manufacturing sector together with the emerging trends at that time, namely; big data, cloud computing, mobile, social and IoT. The team and project evolved quickly. By May 2016 the project had delivered a working product to its first customer. innius was born. Since then, innius has been in a state of continual improvement and development.

How we plan to continue

We’re already a forerunner in the emerging Industrial IoT market, and we want to maintain that position. One of the founding principles behind innius was that it should be developed along the lines of Domain Driven Design. That means that the domain we are designing for, industrial machinery, is the leading factor in what innius is and in which direction it goes. As the industry moves to adopt this type of new technology the domain itself will evolve in both its language and needs, and so the cycle of development continues.

Team culture

As a team we are small enough to work efficiently and collaborate closely, but large enough to have the required expertise and for everyone to have a healthy work / life balance. Structurally we are quite flat and we use the scrum agile methodology, working on cycles of two week sprints. This combined with a process of continual deployment, gives a good balance between personal freedom and accountability.
