Indeex
Digital twin platform for F&B real-time KPIs and production transparency
About Indeex
Indeex is a software platform that integrates with food and beverage manufacturing operations to unlock insights, production transparency, and real-time KPI tracking with zero hardware changes. Using a plug-and-play gateway that connects to existing PLCs and SCADA systems via industrial protocols like Modbus TCP and OPC-UA, it builds digital twins of repeatable production processes for breweries, dairies, and bottling plants. Formerly known as Oliveex, the company secured a EUR 1M seed round in 2024 to expand its digital twin innovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- No hardware replacement required - integrates with existing PLCs and SCADA systems
- Purpose-built for the food and beverage sector rather than a generic analytics platform
- Real-time visibility into production losses, OEE, and equipment utilization
- Customer case studies report meaningful gains in production capacity and workforce efficiency
- Supports standard industrial protocols (Modbus TCP, OPC-UA) for broad machinery compatibility
Cons
- No public pricing - requires a sales demo to get a quote
- Narrowly focused on F&B manufacturing, not suited to other industries
- Requires installation of a gateway device and integration with plant automation
- Relatively young company with a small customer base concentrated in Europe
