What INGENIERIA GEOFISICA Y SISTEMAS does

INGENIERIA GEOFISICA Y SISTEMAS S.A. de C.V. (IGS) is a Mexico City-based value-added reseller and systems integrator founded on July 19, 1991 that specializes in environmental monitoring instrumentation for hydrology, meteorology, climatology, and water quality applications. The company serves both Mexican public-sector agencies (notably CONAGUA and the Servicio Meteorológico Nacional) and private-sector buyers in oil and gas, mining, renewable energy, transportation infrastructure, and industrial compliance, operating exclusively within Mexico from a single headquarters in the Las Águilas neighborhood of Álvaro Obregón.

The core product offering is a portfolio of integrated monitoring stations and the sensor, datalogger, and software components that compose them. Stations include water quality buoys, tide gauges, precipitation stations, compact and automatic weather stations, the Blue Monitor water quality station, automatic hydro-meteorological stations, and mobile hydro-meteorological stations. Underlying sensors cover water level, precipitation, wind, humidity, temperature, solar radiation, water quality multiparameter sondes (Hydrolab DS5X and related), flow velocity/discharge, and visibility. Data acquisition is built around the OTT netDL IP datalogger family (with HTTP/FTP/SMTP, GPRS, Ethernet, and satellite transmission), and data management is supported through third-party software platforms that IGS distributes: OTT Hydras 3, IPS MeteoStar LEADS, HYDROMET, and AQUARIUS. The hardware itself is sourced from international manufacturers under distribution agreements, including OTT Hydromet (and its constituent brands Hydrolab and Adcon Telemetry), Sutron, LUFFT, HACH, LAMBRECHT, THIES CLIMA, MEISEI, IPS MeteoStar, Earth Networks, McCrometer, Sea-Bird Coastal, and SCISYS; products are designed to meet CONAGUA, SMN, and World Meteorological Organization specifications, and the water quality buoy line carries ISO 9001-2008 certification.

IGS generates revenue through three streams: (1) hardware and sensor resale of partner-manufactured equipment, (2) licensing of the distributed specialized software platforms, and (3) full-lifecycle technical services covering consulting, system integration, installation, calibration, commissioning, operation, preventive and corrective maintenance, and training. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales directed at government agencies and private industrial buyers, supplemented by a product and application catalog on igsmex.com and participation in industry events such as Intertraffic Mexico. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investment and operates with a 15-person team.
