What INEO-SENSE does

Ineo-Sense is a French fabless designer and manufacturer of custom industrial IoT sensors, headquartered in Nîmes, France. Founded in 2010 and organized as a Société Anonyme, the company has built a portfolio of more than 450,000 deployed sensors across four product families — Track (geolocation), Collect (energy and utility metering), Secure (access monitoring), and Inform (operational displays) — all built on its proprietary Clover-Core® modular microelectronic architecture and Clover-Net® secure network protocol. The technology supports multiple radio standards (LoRaWAN, LTE-M/NB-IoT, Sigfox, Bluetooth, NFC), over-the-air firmware updates, and battery lives of 5–10 years, enabling integration into existing enterprise network architectures without infrastructure replacement.

The company targets industrial, logistics, and smart-city buyers with a sales-led go-to-market model that combines direct enterprise sales with a network of integrators, distributors, and technology partners. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, custom design and integration services, on-site deployment and training, managed technical support with remote diagnostics, and a sensor refurbishment/recycling service that extends product lifecycles. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts and ex-works billing in euros (30% deposit on orders over €10,000).

Ineo-Sense counts among its customers large French enterprises such as SNCF, TotalEnergies, EDF, Air Liquide, Airbus, Hutchinson, Veolia, Stef, NGE, Gerflor, and Onet, along with municipal and international references including LPA in Lyon, JCDecaux in Nantes, Lauak in aerospace manufacturing, and Ausmeter in Australia. The firm holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and CyberVadis Gold certifications and benefits from institutional support via Bpifrance, ADEME, French Tech, France 2030, and La French Fab. It has over 15 years of IoT experience, operates with 11–50 employees, and does not publicly disclose revenue or external funding.
