What Atende Industries does

Atende Industries Sp. z o.o. is a Warsaw-based B2B software firm that develops cloud platforms for Industry 4.0, with a primary focus on smart grid, distributed energy, and IoT. The company was established in 2020 through the spin-off of the Industry 4.0 division from Atende Software (itself founded in 2007 inside the Atende capital group) and remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atende S.A., which is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Atende Industries operates with a small team of approximately 45 employees and targets large enterprise and government clients — including distribution system operators (DSOs), energy cooperatives and clusters, industrial energy consumers, and advanced manufacturers — across Poland and, via EU-funded R&D consortia, broader European programs.

The company’s product portfolio rests on a proprietary NoSQL time-series database called TStorage, which is engineered for high-volume IoT telemetry and is claimed to be roughly 50 times faster than average data warehouses on time-series workloads. On top of TStorage, Atende Industries has built four platform products: redGrid, an MDM/HES-class AMI system historically anchored by the 1.4 million smart meter deployment at Energa-Operator (the largest smart metering implementation in Poland); besmart.energy, a cloud platform for distributed energy management supporting energy cooperatives, microgrids, and local balancing of renewables; besmart.vision, a cloud platform for AI-driven control of collaborative robots (deployed for battery pack assembly at Wamtechnik); and besmart.dev, an IoT data ingestion platform. AI/ML capabilities include predictive analytics, optimization, computer vision, and anomaly detection, supported by over a decade of operational smart-meter data.

Atende Industries generates revenue through three principal streams: (1) cloud platform subscriptions and licensing (besmart.energy, besmart.vision), (2) system implementation and integration services for AMI/MDM/HES and predictive maintenance systems, and (3) R&D project contracts funded by EU and national programs (Horizon 2020, POIR, KPO IPCEI CIS), including the 23.6M PLN TStorage project awarded under KPO IPCEI CIS in 2024. Go-to-market is enterprise-led via a dedicated sales function led by a named sales director (Wojciech Kogut), supplemented by consortium-based R&D distribution, conference presence (Forum Teleinformatyki, Kongres Energetyki Rozproszonej, MADE IN POLAND), and strategic partnerships with Hillwood Polska, ENERGOPROJEKT-KATOWICE, PKP Energetyka, and Phoenix Systems. Recent leadership changes — including the May 2026 appointment of Tomasz Oczkoś as CEO and the founder Paweł Pisarczyk’s transition to the Supervisory Board — indicate a push toward enterprise productization and advanced data systems.

Revenue model

1. Cloud Platform Subscriptions and Licensing (besmart.energy, besmart.vision): Proprietary cloud platforms licensed/subscribed by energy companies (DSOs, energy cooperatives, industrial firms). The besmart.vision platform was launched as a service model including cobot delivery and cloud-based control services.
2. System Implementation and Integration Services (redGrid, Smart Grid systems): Custom system implementations for AMI/MDM/HES smart metering systems and predictive maintenance platforms. Includes integration with client infrastructure (Energa-Operator 1.4M meters, PKP Energetyka, PEC Końskie).
3. R&D Government Grants and EU Funding: Co-funded R&D projects through EU programs (Horyzont 2020, POIR, KPO IPCEI CIS). Project funding supports technology development rather than direct revenue but enables product capability expansion. Notable: UPGRID (5.3M PLN EU co-financing), PKP Energetyka project (4.35M PLN EU co-financing), TStorage IPCEI project (18.4M PLN EU funding).
4. R&D Project Contracts (NCBiR, KPO): Consortium-based R&D contracts with NCBiR and EU funding bodies for innovative energy and IoT projects. Second-phase funding for the Elektrociepłownia project could reach 41.5M PLN for the consortium.
