What Influx Technology does

Influx Technology is a UK-based, privately-held engineering firm founded in 1999 that designs and sells ruggedised CAN bus data logging hardware, modular instrumentation, and supporting software for automotive R&D, validation, and fleet monitoring. Its core technology centres on multi-protocol vehicle bus acquisition — supporting CAN 2.0, CAN FD, FlexRay, LIN, J1939, UDS (ISO14229), CCP/XCP, and OBD-II (ISO15765) — delivered through two primary hardware lines (Rebel series for cost-effective R&D and multi-bus logging, ReXgen series for open-platform CAN-to-Cloud data loggers), a modular K-Series instrumentation family (K-Box, K-TC thermocouples, K-AN8 analog, K-IEPE vibration, K-PT RTD), and a forthcoming Smart ReXgen device designed for third-party app loading. The software layer comprises DiaLog (tiered: Configurator free, Standard, Plus, Remote), K-CAL configuration software, Module Analyser (5-in-1 CAN/LIN/FlexRay analyser), ReXdesk data management, and StreamLog cloud fleet management hosted on Microsoft Azure with FTPS and SSL encryption.

The company monetises through one-time hardware sales bundled with optional software subscriptions (12-month SLA), a Vehicle Insights Program engineering services engagement that builds customer-specific DBC/ODX configurations, and a planned app-distribution revenue stream on Smart ReXgen. Its customer base spans automotive OEMs (Lotus, Ford UK, Renault), testing and certification bodies (UTAC, FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik), research institutions (University of Leeds), commercial vehicle and off-highway operators (Club Car, mining and tractor fleets, truck fleets), with revenue primarily from enterprise field sales supplemented by an e-commerce storefront. Distribution is direct plus regional franchises and channel partners across Bulgaria, the Netherlands, China, India, and South Korea (FAMTECH), supported by regular presence at Automotive Testing Expos in Germany, China, India, South Korea, and the USA. The firm is led by CEO Lance Keen and, as of September 2024, had taken its first identified external capital — a £300,000 regional growth loan from The FSE Group — earmarked for Smart ReXgen production, a SaaS/PaaS team build-out, and an MVP launch of the Influx app store.

Core offering

Influx Technology designs, manufactures, and sells ruggedised CAN bus data loggers (Rebel and ReXgen series) and modular K-Series instrumentation devices, supported by proprietary software (DiaLog, K-CAL, ReXdesk, Module Analyser, StreamLog). The company sells these hardware-plus-software platforms to automotive engineers and fleet operators, complemented by engineering consultancy services such as the Vehicle Insights Program.

Product overview

Influx Technology provides CAN bus data loggers and software tools for automotive engineering and data acquisition. The product portfolio consists of three hardware lines (ReXgen series, Rebel series, and K-Series instrumentation) and complementary software (DiaLog, K-CAL, Module Analyser, StreamLog, ReXdesk). The ReXgen and Rebel lines serve as the core data logging platforms, with K-Series add-on modules (K-Box, K-TC, K-AN8, K-IEPE, K-PT) extending measurement capabilities for thermocouples, analog signals, IEPE sensors, and PT100/1000 RTD sensors. The DiaLog software suite provides configuration, analysis, and data export functionality across all loggers, while StreamLog enables remote fleet management via cloud connectivity.
