Himikode Tech

What Himikode Tech does

Himikode Tech SL is a privately held Spanish micro-company (founded 2019, headquartered in Lugo, Galicia) that designs and produces a fully in-house IoT-to-SaaS stack — proprietary sensors, signal conditioners and microcontrollers, MQTT-based streaming into time-series databases, Edge AI neural networks for behavioral pattern detection on physical signals, and end-user SaaS front-ends. The company monetizes this stack through two flagship products: hkoffee, an IoT system that digitizes coffee machines and grinders in HORECA with a plug-and-play integration designed for compatibility with practically any manufacturer; and RuralData, a smart public lighting solution for public administrations featuring solar/wind-powered luminaires, centralized SaaS management and environmental monitoring.

Revenue comes from three streams: hardware sales of IoT devices, recurring SaaS subscriptions (hkoffee, RuralData, plus ancillary tools), and professional services delivered as an accredited provider under Spain's Kit Digital and Kit Consulting SME digitization programs, covering business intelligence, cybersecurity, process and customer management, websites, AI advisory, advanced data analysis, digital sales, business strategy and 360-degree digital transformation. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales for hkoffee/RuralData complemented by participation in Galician regional government programs (Galicia Exporta Empresas, IA360, Galicia Emplea, Re-acciona, Investigo).

The company is recognized as a Pyme Innovadora and Empresa Emergente by the Spanish government, with partial ownership by IGAPE (Instituto Galego de Promoción Empresarial), and operates from a 1-10 person team out of a single Lugo office. Its commercial footprint is concentrated in Galicia with stated intent to internationalize, and its customer base spans regional coffee industry players (Siboney, Veracruz, Candelas, Rio de Galicia, Coffeemori), local government (Concello Lugo, Xunta de Galicia) and universities (UVigo, USC).

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Samsara: Public IoT and operations platform combining proprietary hardware sensors, edge processing, and cloud SaaS for fleet and industrial operations. Comparable full-stack model to Himikode but serving larger enterprise customers in fleet/facility management.
• Siemens (MindSphere / Insights Hub): Industrial IoT platform from a global industrial conglomerate targeting manufacturing and infrastructure customers with edge connectivity, analytics, and SaaS. Operates at vastly larger scale than Himikode but in overlapping industrial IoT territory.
• Signify: Global leader in lighting (formerly Philips Lighting) with extensive smart-city and connected street lighting portfolio including Interact City. Directly competes with Himikode's RuralData but at vastly larger scale with established municipal relationships.
• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure): Global industrial IoT and energy management platform including smart lighting, building analytics, and predictive maintenance. Overlaps with Himikode's RuralData and industrial sensor capabilities as part of a much broader industrial-automation portfolio.

Direct peers

• Particle: Full-stack IoT platform combining proprietary hardware modules, edge computing capabilities, and a cloud/SaaS management layer. Comparable to Himikode's full-stack IoT-to-SaaS architecture, though Particle operates as a horizontal platform rather than a vertical specialist.
• RoastLog: Coffee roasting production management software with logging, scheduling, and quality tracking features. Smaller, more specialized competitor to Himikode in the coffee industry vertical with similar SaaS recurring-revenue model.
• Cropster: SaaS platform for coffee roasters covering production, quality control, and roast profiling. Closest direct peer to Himikode's hkoffee in the coffee vertical, though Cropster focuses on the roaster's own production line rather than downstream HORECA equipment telemetry.
• Telensa: Specialist provider of smart street lighting and urban data networks with centralized management SaaS. Closest specialized competitor to Himikode's RuralData offering for municipal lighting modernization.
• Losant: Enterprise IoT platform offering edge device orchestration, time-series data ingestion, and workflow automation with a low-code SaaS interface. Directly comparable to Himikode's MQTT streaming, time-series databases, and intuitive SaaS dashboards.
• Ubidots: IoT platform focused on sensor-to-cloud connectivity with dashboards, data mining, and alerting for industrial customers. Comparable in scale and approach to Himikode's edge AI + big data streaming + SaaS architecture for SMB and industrial verticals.
