What Intronik does

Intronik GmbH is a Dresden-based engineering services and proprietary product company founded in April 1990, serving industrial customers with custom automation, electronic control systems, and embedded product development. The company delivers turnkey solutions spanning feasibility studies, hardware planning, control software programming, custom visualization, switch cabinet construction, commissioning, and long-term technical support. Beyond custom engineering services, Intronik has developed several proprietary product lines: HydraSafe, a modular cell voltage monitoring (CVM) system for electrolyzer stacks with modules (CORE, BASE, GATE, OBSERVER, VISU) supporting OPC UA, ProfiNET, and Modbus TCP; THERMONOM, a microprocessor-controlled hot runner controller with predictive regulation for plastics processing; magnetically levitated spindle/bearing systems with micrometer precision; and compact dual-frequency RFID readers.

The company serves B2B enterprise customers across multiple verticals, including hydrogen/electrolysis (HydraSafe), plastics processing (THERMONOM), building materials and hardware manufacturing (test stands), and security/access control (RFID). Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) custom engineering and development services billed on a project basis, (2) proprietary hardware and software product sales (both direct and through channel partners Mütec Instruments and ITP Tzschoppe for HydraSafe), and (3) cloud-based IIoT software bundled with automation projects. The company operates with 14-15 employees from its headquarters at Am Promigberg 8 in Dresden, under three Managing Directors (Dr. Stephan Eckhardt, Daniel Groß, Andreas Krups), and is fully independent since separating from Swiss partner INDEL AG in 2018. Marketing is driven primarily by trade shows (Hannover Messe, Hydrogen Technology Expo, all about automation) and long-term customer relationships rather than broad digital campaigns.
