Our take

Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers a world of possibilities for manufacturers. Oversight of the entire production process through a stream of information provided by networked, sensor-equipped devices allows for real-time control and zero waste in the operation. Importantly, partnerships with IoT providers allows companies to switch from an expensive and inefficent capital expenditure model to a more agile operating expenses model. Since 2013, relayr has existed to make this a reality, helping manufacturers move to an equipment as services operating model and unlocking their potential.

Industrial IoT is big business, and relayr shares the field with giant providers such as Hitachi, Intel, GE and IBM. However, relayr has long experience in the field. It started out as a space for developers to experiment with hardware while IoT was still taking off, and has steadily gained experience and insights into their clients needs. They also bill themselves as a one-stop shop, uniquely able to offer IoT technology, financing, insurance, and delivery.

Several years after it was founded, relayr was acquired in whole by insurance giant Munich Re. Although relayr operates independently of its parent company, it will continue to benefit from Munich Re's financial strength and client base. Indeed in a space occupied by giants, this acquisition should reassure both clients and prospective talent that relayr will be a company to rely on for a long time to come. They are expanding their operations in the USA and Europe and have recently made inroads in the UK market, and are likely to be in a good place to take advantage of the expanding industrial IoT sector.
