About us

When Manfred Radtke founded inray Industriesoftware GmbH in 1995, electronic and computer development were well on their way. The spirit of the times called for connectivity and data communication in industry, thereby pointing out the path to success. After many successful individual programs for plant communication, it soon became clear that individual software was not the ultimate solution to the lack of digitisation seen in industry. In 1999, Sören Rose, who has been managing director for many years now, joined the company and the search for uniform ways to simplify and standardise industrial data communications began.

The OPC Foundation was also launched in the mid-nineties, aiming to create the worldwide communication standard. OPC defines a standardised means of accessing controllers and machines. This naturally played out to the advantage of inray and the steep success story took its course. Standard products were developed, which took advantage of the extensive communication possibilities of OPC and thereby distributed information from the production line to the entire company. Many a customer had a cheerful twinkle in their eye as the production process “became transparent”.

This triumphant advance of digitisation in production has been the central theme at inray from the very beginning. More than a quarter of a century has gone by in the meantime, and inray has more than 60 loyal employees and is growing rapidly.

Finally, the year 2022 brings far-reaching changes in the inray management. Managing Director and inray company founder Manfred Radtke will leave at the turn of the year 2021/2022 and will no longer be part of the inray management. The already long-standing CEO Sören Rose will now receive partnership support here from Bo Biene and Mike Elsen.

Today we know that we are working on nothing less than the next industrial revolution. Our motto is our passion: “Making manufacturing transparent!”
