Innoval

What Innoval does

Innoval S.R.L. is an Italian private limited company headquartered in Genova that designs and manufactures automotive-grade electronic control systems for industrial mobile vehicles operating in harsh environments. Its technology stack combines a Windows CE operating system with CAN-bus communication (CANopen, J1939, FMS protocols), safety-rated slave control (Performance Level d / SIL 3 per UNI EN 13849 / IEC 61508), and LTE/GPS remote-monitoring capability, with full compliance to Automotive Directive 72/245/CEE and UNECE Regulation No. 10. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and accredited by the Italian Ministry of Transport for automotive design and production.

The product portfolio is modular and centered on a master controller architecture (DCU-C V2), complemented by safety-rated and auxiliary slave units (SIOC PL-d, DCU-M+, DCU-S V2, DCU-A), master viewer displays (MMI V2 5" and 8"), industrial displays (7", 10", 12"), sensor modules (S-BOX), and communication modules (C-BOX). On top of this hardware base, the IOM (Internet of Machines) platform adds remote monitoring, tele-assistance, and fleet management for Industry 4.0 transition, while a dedicated Revamping service addresses obsolescence of legacy electronic control systems (for example, MHC Fantuzzi Reggiane port mobile cranes), and a Custom Design service provides bespoke hardware/firmware engineering through homologation.

Commercially, Innoval generates revenue through three streams: OEM hardware sales of its control-system product family, professional services (custom electronic design and revamping), and recurring fees from IOM remote monitoring. Distribution is exclusively direct B2B enterprise sales with bundled engineering and integration support, targeting industrial operators and OEMs across port terminals, steel parks, railway operations, and large construction sites globally, with end-applications spanning forklifts, stackers, tractors, mobile cranes, drilling rigs, industrial vacuum trucks, and street-cleaning vehicles.

Core offering

Innoval designs, manufactures, and supplies proprietary electronic control systems for industrial mobile vehicles, including Master and Slave control units (DCU-C V2, SIOC, DCU-M+, DCU-S V2, DCU-A), Master Viewer displays (MMI V2 5"/8"), industrial displays (7"/10"/12"), sensor modules (S-BOX), communication modules (C-BOX), and the IOM (Internet of Machines) remote monitoring platform. The company also delivers custom electronic hardware and firmware design services, and electronic revamping services that overhaul obsolete control systems on legacy machines such as port mobile cranes. Solutions target OEMs and operators in port terminals, steel mills, railway, and large construction sites operating in extreme environmental conditions.

Product overview

Innoval offers a modular electronic control system architecture for mobile industrial machinery consisting of Master Control Units (DCU-C V2, MMI-V2 8", MMI V2 5"), Slave Control Units (SIOC with PL-d safety, DCU-M+, DCU-S V2, DCU-A), Sensor Modules (S-BOX), Communication Modules (C-BOX), and Display Units (7", 10", 12"). The product portfolio is complemented by the IOM (Internet of Machines) remote monitoring platform providing fleet management and tele-assistance capabilities via LTE and GPS. The DCU-C V2 serves as the master controller running Windows CE with CAN-bus communication (CANopen, J1939, FMS protocols), while the SIOC provides safety-rated slave control. The IOM platform enables Industry 4.0 transition through remote monitoring. Innoval also offers custom design services and electronic revamping for legacy machinery.

Broad incumbents

• Bosch Rexroth: Bosch Rexroth provides automation, electronic control, and IoT solutions for off-highway and mobile equipment via its BODAS and ctrlX portfolios — a much larger incumbent competing with Innoval in mobile machinery ECUs and Industry 4.0 connectivity.
• SICK AG: SICK AG supplies industrial sensors, safety systems, and automation solutions used in port logistics, steel, and rail — adjacent to Innoval's customer base and partially overlapping in sensor/control modules.
• Hexagon (Positioning Intelligence / NovAtel): Hexagon provides GNSS positioning, telematics, and fleet management solutions for construction, mining, and ports — overlapping with Innoval's IOM remote-monitoring platform but at a much larger scale.
• Danfoss Power Solutions: Danfoss Power Solutions offers the PLUS+1 platform of controllers, displays, and telematics for mobile machinery — overlapping with Innoval's modular ECU/display portfolio but at significantly larger scale and broader OEM penetration.

Direct peers

• TTControl: TTControl (a TTTech/Hydac joint venture) develops safety-rated electronic control units (HY-TTC series) and displays for off-highway and mobile machinery — directly comparable to Innoval's DCU, SIOC (PL-d), and MMI products for harsh-environment industrial vehicles.
• ifm electronic: ifm electronic manufactures industrial sensors, IO-Link modules, and ECUs (ecomatMobile) for mobile machinery and harsh-environment automation — closely comparable to Innoval's S-BOX sensor modules and C-BOX communication gateways.
• MOBA Mobile Automation: MOBA develops control systems, sensors, and HMI displays for mobile machinery (cranes, excavators, construction equipment) — directly comparable to Innoval's ECU and display offerings for industrial mobile vehicles.

Others

• STMicroelectronics (Automotive & Industrial MCU): STMicroelectronics supplies automotive-grade microcontrollers and SoCs (e.g., SPC5 family) commonly used in mobile machinery ECUs like Innoval's — an enabling supplier rather than direct competitor, but indicative of the broader ecosystem.
