What Divis Intelligent Solutions does

divis intelligent solutions GmbH is a Dortmund-based (Germany) industrial AI software and consulting firm founded in 2009, operating as a subsidiary of Swiss quantum technology company Terra Quantum AG since May 2023. The company develops the ClearVu software family — a portfolio of Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) products for structured industrial data — comprising the standalone ClearVu Intelligence platform, a Microsoft Excel Add-In, a Python Pro package, ClearVu Design Space for multidisciplinary automotive design optimization (co-developed with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus Zimmermann of TU München), and ClearVu Assist, a process-driven Generative AI suite built on retrieval-augmented generation that runs locally to protect proprietary data. The core technology combines classical ML methods (compared through an "Algorithm Tournament" across more than ten algorithm families including SVMs, Random Forests, Gaussian Processes, and Neural Networks) with evolutionary-algorithm-based hyperparameter optimization and, via the parent company, quantum-assisted optimization for classical industrial problems.

The company monetizes through two streams: annual subscription licenses for ClearVu software (device-specific or floating via LM-X License Manager), and consulting/professional services covering predictive quality, predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, production optimization, and multidisciplinary design engagements. Pricing is publicly disclosed only for the lowest-tier software products (€199/year for the Excel Add-In, €980/year for Python Pro); enterprise licenses, custom development, and ClearVu Design Space are quote-based. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, combining direct outreach, workshops, case studies, and a strong event and association presence (Hannover Messe 2025 debut, BITMi, Bitkom, SICP, EFB) targeting industrial manufacturers across automotive, chemical/process, and consumer goods in the DACH region with select international references.

The firm is small (1–10 employees) but serves an enterprise customer roster that includes BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz AG, Porsche, Ford, Hyundai, Honda Research Institute Europe, Beiersdorf, Johnson & Johnson, S.C. Johnson, 3M Deutschland, Covestro, Evonik, ThyssenKrupp, Air Liquide America, IOI Oleo, and Chemetall, alongside research institutions such as DLR and Norce Norwegian Research Centre. Leadership is anchored by Prof. Dr. Thomas Bäck, an internationally recognized evolutionary computation researcher who also heads the Natural Computing group at Leiden University and serves as Vice President Technology at Terra Quantum AG, supported by Dr.-Ing. Peter Krause (Head of R&D) and Jens Beier (Account Development). The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification from TÜV Rheinland and is listed on the KI.NRW AI map of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Direct peers

• H2O.ai: H2O.ai provides an open-core AutoML and MLOps platform (H2O Driverless AI) widely used in financial services and manufacturing for structured-data predictive modeling. Its AutoML capabilities and emphasis on democratizing ML closely overlap ClearVu Intelligence's value proposition.
• DataRobot: DataRobot is an enterprise AutoML platform offering automated model building, deployment, and MLOps for structured and unstructured data. It is directly comparable to Divis's ClearVu Intelligence as a no-code AutoML product targeting predictive analytics in business and industrial use cases.
• Dataiku: Dataiku offers an enterprise AI/ML platform with AutoML, MLOps, and collaborative data science capabilities sold to large industrial and consumer-goods customers. It competes with Divis for the same enterprise predictive-analytics and process-optimization budgets.
• RapidMiner (Altair): RapidMiner is an end-to-end data science platform with AutoML, predictive analytics, and process-optimization features used in manufacturing and process industries. Its no-code modeling and process-industry deployments make it a close functional competitor to ClearVu Intelligence.
• Aspen Technology: AspenTech provides advanced process optimization, asset performance management, and digital twin software to chemical, petrochemical, and process-industry customers. It is a direct competitor in predictive quality, process optimization, and anomaly detection for industrial plants — core Divis use cases.

Emerging players

• UptimeAI: UptimeAI is an industrial-AI startup focused on predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and process optimization for manufacturing plants. It overlaps with Divis's ClearVu-based predictive maintenance and anomaly detection offerings as a focused emerging competitor in industrial AI.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Azure Machine Learning: Azure Machine Learning provides Automated ML, MLOps, and industrial AI tooling tightly integrated with the broader Azure cloud stack, widely adopted by global manufacturers. It is a broad-incumbent competitor whose cloud economics and bundled enterprise agreements can undercut standalone AutoML platforms like ClearVu.
• Siemens Digital Industries (MindSphere / Mendix): Siemens offers an industrial-AI and IoT portfolio (MindSphere, Mendix, Xcelerator) that addresses predictive maintenance, process optimization, and digital twin use cases across its installed manufacturing base. It is a broader incumbent overlapping Divis's industrial-AI value proposition with much greater scale and ecosystem.
• IBM watsonx / SPSS: IBM offers watsonx.ai AutoML, SPSS Modeler, and industrial AI services targeted at predictive quality, maintenance, and process optimization in large enterprises. It is a broad incumbent providing overlapping capabilities to many of Divis's automotive and process-industry accounts.
• SAP (Analytics Cloud / Datasphere): SAP provides embedded predictive analytics, business AI, and process-industry solutions (SAP Analytics Cloud, Datasphere, Industry Cloud) sold to many of the same large DACH industrial customers as Divis. It competes as a broader platform incumbent rather than a pure-play AutoML vendor.
