What IJINUS does
IJINUS SAS is a French designer and manufacturer of autonomous telemetry instrumentation for water monitoring, headquartered in Mellac, Brittany. Founded in 2003 and wholly-owned by Groupe Claire, the company builds IIoT-connected sensors (radar level, pressure level, physico-chemical probes), the NODE LM microbial-activity biocapteur for wastewater toxicity, ISCO-branded water samplers, and the LOG V4 family of autonomous data loggers with integrated 868/915 MHz radio and 2G/4G LTE-M/NB-IoT cellular communication. Supporting software includes the Avelour 7 configuration tool, the Ijitrack.com web supervision platform, and the WijiApp mobile application.
The company's products carry IP68 ratings, ATEX Zone 2 certification for hazardous sewer environments, CE/RoHS/FCC/Industry Canada marks, and AFNOR ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. A proprietary Wiji radio protocol and embedded algorithms (eKo, LAMY filtering) underpin local configuration and radar signal processing. IJINUS distributes through its French direct sales force and a network of 20+ authorized distributors across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Oceania.
IJINUS generates revenue through three streams: one-time sales of instrumentation hardware, recurring rental of monitoring equipment for short- and long-term deployments, and subscription-based access to the Ijitrack.com data supervision platform. Customers are primarily municipal water and wastewater utilities, industrial discharge operators, and environmental monitoring agencies, served through both direct sales in France and an international channel-partner network.

IJINUS competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Hach (Danaher): Water analytics leader covering laboratory, portable and process instrumentation for drinking water and wastewater. Competes with IJINUS on water quality sensors and SCADA-integrated analyzers, with deeper bench of reagents, probes and analytics software globally.
- Endress+Hauser: Global leader in industrial process instrumentation for flow, level, pressure and water analysis. Overlaps with IJINUS in water/wastewater level and quality sensors, but operates across a much broader industrial portfolio and targets larger process plants in addition to municipal utilities.
- Xylem (YSI): Major water technology company whose YSI brand produces water quality sondes and telemetry equipment widely used by utilities for surface, drinking and wastewater monitoring. A large incumbent in IJINUS's primary use cases with a broader solution portfolio including pumps, treatment and analytics.
Emerging players
- Libelium: IoT hardware platform integrating third-party sensors for environmental, water and agriculture monitoring. Comparable to IJINUS in the IIoT/water telemetry category but built around plug-and-play sensor nodes rather than proprietary instrumentation like the NODE LM biocapteur.
- Aquaread: Specialist manufacturer of portable and stationary multiparameter water quality probes for field and surface water monitoring. Closely aligned with IJINUS's physico-chemical monitoring offerings and a typical bidder for similar environmental monitoring tenders.
Others
- Teledyne ISCO: Manufacturer of water sampling and flow-monitoring equipment that is actively distributed and integrated by IJINUS. Adjacent rather than competing on most sensors, but a natural peer where tenders demand combined sampling + telemetry packages.
Direct peers
- OTT Hydromet (Hach): Manufacturer of hydrological and meteorological monitoring instrumentation including water level, water quality, and discharge sensors. Directly comparable to IJINUS as both serve utilities with autonomous, connected field sensors and data loggers for surface water, groundwater and wastewater monitoring.
- Campbell Scientific: Manufacturer of rugged data loggers, sensors and telemetry systems widely deployed for hydrological and environmental monitoring. Comparable to IJINUS in the autonomous, low-power, wireless logger segment used by utilities and environmental agencies for surface water and groundwater data.
- Hydreka (Groupe Claire): Sister entity within Groupe Claire focused on water quality sensors and biocapteurs (including the Hydreka-branded NODE LM). Operates inside the same parent ecosystem as IJINUS and overlaps in wastewater quality monitoring product lines.
- Stevens Water Monitoring & Technology: Provider of hydrological and water quality monitoring sensors, data loggers and telemetry systems for environmental and utility applications. Directly comparable to IJINUS's autonomous sensor + logger product set for surface water, groundwater and wastewater use cases.
