Imaginform

What Imaginform does

Imaginform is a privately held, founder-led French industrial-software firm founded in 1995 by Michel Blaquie, headquartered in Loubens, France, with a headcount of 1-10 employees. The company has consolidated its offering into a single product, ImaginData, an industrial data monitoring and analytics platform that connects to industrial equipment, collects operational data in real time, and presents it through customizable dashboards. ImaginData is positioned as a unified tool for monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing industrial processes, with explicit marketing focus on waste incineration plants, biomass boiler operators, and paper mills — verticals the company describes as their current active base.

The platform's stated functional pillars are data 'memory' (long-term retention of process data), operational efficiency (surfacing information within large data volumes), and analysis (translating experience into process improvements). ImaginData is compatible across industrial processes and functions and supports 24/7 access for remote monitoring. The company's competitive positioning rests on the founder's background in Statistical Process Control developed across European tobacco factories, combined with web-technology execution.

Commercially, Imaginform operates a direct enterprise sales motion: pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based, with primary contact routed through the company's website and LinkedIn page. The stated revenue model is recurring/subscription-based licensing of the ImaginData platform to enterprise industrial operators. The site is published in both French and English.

Direct peers

• Seeq Corporation: Seeq is a process-industry analytics layer that sits on top of historians and SCADA systems to enable time-series analysis, dashboards, and sustainability reporting. Like Imaginform, it sells to operators of plants such as waste, energy, and pulp/paper and competes on the analytics-over-industrial-data value proposition.
• Inductive Automation: Inductive Automation sells Ignition, a cross-platform SCADA/HMI and industrial data visualization product used by manufacturers and process industries. It is the closest direct peer to Imaginform: a software vendor focused on connecting industrial equipment and exposing operational data through configurable dashboards.

Broad incumbents

• AVEVA: AVEVA is a global industrial software incumbent with PI System historian and a broad SCADA/operations-management portfolio spanning process and discrete industries. It competes with Imaginform at the data-collection and visualisation layer, especially inside large multi-site operator accounts.
• Emerson (DeltaV / Plantweb): Emerson's DeltaV distributed control system and Plantweb analytics portfolio provide process visualisation, historian, and asset-monitoring functionality for process industries. It is a relevant incumbent peer for Imaginform wherever buyers evaluate DeltaV against a lighter, overlay-style data platform.
• Honeywell Forge: Honeywell Forge is Honeywell's process-industry digital platform covering operations management, asset reliability, and sustainability reporting. It overlaps directly with Imaginform's real-time process monitoring and sustainability use cases across refining, energy, and adjacent process plants.
• Siemens (Industrial / MindSphere): Siemens offers the WinCC SCADA family and MindSphere industrial IoT cloud for process visualisation, asset monitoring, and optimisation across plant fleets. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with Imaginform in industrial data collection, dashboards, and energy/process monitoring for large manufacturers.
• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure): Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure platform combines AVEVA-aligned SCADA/historian functionality with energy and sustainability management. It targets very similar buyers to Imaginform (operators of biomass, district energy, water, and waste plants), giving it direct overlap on data-driven sustainability use cases.
• Rockwell Automation (FactoryTalk): Rockwell's FactoryTalk suite offers SCADA/HMI, historians, and analytics for industrial operations. It is a broad incumbent in the same product category as ImaginData and is frequently encountered in enterprise evaluations of OT visualisation and analytics tooling.
• ABB Ability: ABB Ability delivers industrial software for process control, asset health, and energy management, used across waste-to-energy, pulp & paper, and power customers. It competes with Imaginform at the operational-data, dashboard, and equipment-monitoring layer for the same European industrial accounts.

Emerging players

• C3.ai: C3.ai provides an enterprise AI platform with specific applications for industrial process optimisation, predictive maintenance, and energy management. It is an emerging player in the analytics-over-industrial-data category and overlaps with ImaginData's forward-looking positioning on transforming data into decisions and anticipating risk.
