A startup from the shop floor. Direct from OWL intended.
Startup team from Ostwestfalen-Lippe, embedded in the mechanical engineering of the Hymmen Group.
It all began with an idea, born out of the need for specific industrial applications.
smart2i was born on a real production line at Hymmen.
Software made on
the shop floor,
not in a coworking space.
How we work, and what we don’t do.
Four principles that shape our roadmap, our code reviews and our discussions with customers.
Validated in the factory,
not on a whiteboard.
Every function is developed on a real-world system, using actual control systems and in line with real-world operational requirements.
The senior leads,
the team shapes.
Experienced senior software engineers set the direction. We make architectural and product decisions as a team.
Short lines of communication,
no silos.
Lively discussions with colleagues at Hymmen. From process engineering to control systems, everyone’s on hand.
We expect you to take responsibility
for your own work.
We believe that decisions are made by people, not processes. Ownership rather than tickets.
Four worlds, one product.
Industrial Intelligence only works when people with different backgrounds are part of the same team. That’s exactly what we have here.
Where you can meet us in person can meet.
More than just an MES system: data-driven decisions for more efficient production.
At the 2024 Hannover Messe, we demonstrated how smart2i translates production data into decisions, right there at the live demo setup.
Data from real plants, analysed in real time.
Direct interaction with engineers from all over the world.
Real-world use cases rather than PowerPoint slides.
On stage together with OWL Maschinenbau e.V.

Fancy joining in?
We are looking for people who are keen to help shape industrial software, whether you’re a traditional developer, a business IT specialist, a control systems expert or a researcher with a flair for manufacturing. We welcome both experienced professionals and those just starting out in their careers.
Are you in the area? Do pop in.
We are based in Bielefeld, right on the Hymmen Campus. Arranging a meeting at our office is usually straightforward. Conversely, if you want to run smart2i in your production facility, we can be with you just as quickly.
