InduStream

What InduStream does

InduStream is a Luxembourg-based industrial AIoT software company, founded in 2024 and operating as an independent spin-out from the German industrial automation group DSD Automation. It builds an open, edge-to-cloud platform composed of five integrated modules — DataCatalog (universal asset/tag dictionary), FlowMaker (no-code visual pipeline builder with 300+ industrial functions), AI Engine (hybrid physics + ML for anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and process optimization), DataBridge (unified REST query API across time-series, relational, and object-storage backends), and DataLake (composite storage on InfluxDB/TimescaleDB, PostgreSQL/MS SQL, and MinIO) — supporting 50+ OT protocols including OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, S7, BACnet, IO-Link, RTSP, and REST. SDKs in Python, C#, and TypeScript, ONNX support, and MCP-based agentic access for LLM integration (ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, Ollama, Qwen) round out the developer surface.

On top of the platform, InduStream ships domain-specific vertical solutions: IronStream (14-model blast furnace optimization suite including six co-developed BFI physics models), ArcStream (EAF optimization with claimed -20% tap-to-tap time and -8% kWh/t), Tuyere Cameras (AI vision + thermal + acoustic hardware for blast furnace monitoring with 95% claimed anomaly accuracy), FlowGuard (predictive maintenance dashboard), Forecastream (probabilistic forecasting launched April 2026), and Virtual Commissioning & Digital Twin. Hardware products include IP65 edge computers, IO-Link masters, and proprietary tuyere camera systems.

InduStream serves heavy-industry customers — steel and metallurgy, energy and manufacturing, recycling, and public-sector energy agencies — primarily across BENELUX, France, Germany, Austria, and Central/Eastern Europe. It monetizes through a freemium open-source tier (BSL 1.1 / Apache 2.0 for self-hosted non-commercial use), subscription SaaS (OPEX, per-site with tag/model/user tiers), one-time perpetual licenses with 15% annual maintenance (CAPEX), enterprise custom packages including on-premise LLM + RAG, separately quoted process packages and hardware, and professional services. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales, technology partners Phoenix Technologies and sister company DSD Automation, the Energieagence Luxembourg public-sector partnership, and Luxembourg government SME subsidy channels (Fit 4 AI, Luxinnovation, Fonds nova naturstroum). Leadership is led by CEO Fabrice Hansen and CTO Cyril Deom, with a small team of ~7 engineers.

Core offering

InduStream sells an open industrial AIoT software platform that connects to OT/IT systems via 50+ protocols, ingests and contextualizes industrial data in a unified catalog, and lets users build no-code AI pipelines to deploy hybrid physics-and-ML models at the edge. It packages this platform into vertical solutions for blast furnace optimization (IronStream), electric arc furnace control (ArcStream), computer-vision tuyere monitoring, operator decision support (FlowGuard), short-term forecasting (Forecastream), and virtual commissioning with digital twin.

Product overview

InduStream is an open, modular industrial AIoT platform (Industrial OS) spanning edge to on-premise or cloud. The platform is organized around five core modules: DataCatalog (universal metadata/asset dictionary), FlowMaker (no-code visual pipeline builder with 300+ industrial functions), AI Engine (hybrid physics + ML for anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and process optimization), DataBridge (unified REST query API eliminating SQL across multiple backends), and DataLake (composite storage with InfluxDB/TimescaleDB for time-series, PostgreSQL/MS SQL for relational data, and MinIO/S3 for unstructured files). Built on 50+ OT protocols (OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, S7, BACnet, IO-Link, RTSP) and positioned as EU-sovereign. Vertical solutions built on top include: IronStream (blast furnace L2 optimization — 14 integrated physics+ML models including BFI partnership models), ArcStream (EAF optimization), Tuyere Cameras (AI camera hardware for blast furnace tuyere monitoring with visible, thermal, IR, and acoustic capabilities), FlowGuard (operator dashboard for asset monitoring and CMMS-triggering alerts), Forecastream (probabilistic forecasting with confidence bands), and Virtual Commissioning & Digital Twin. Hardware products include IP65-certified edge computers, IO-Link masters, and specialized tuyere camera hardware. AI Studio provides no-code model training and versioning.
