Our History

By 2018 Foundation

SmarterChains is founded, launching the first platform for creating Smart Factories. While development continues, initial customers are secured. The Smart Factory Technology Maturity Assessment is tested with hundreds of factories, offering valuable insights into their technological maturity.

By 2020 Value Builder

Development continues even as the world comes to a standstill. Clients seek to understand the feasibility of their Industry 4.0 investments, inspiring the team to create Value Builder. Initially validated manually, the product is officially launched in 2020.

By 2024 SmarterChains platform

The company is ready to expand globally. All products are developed and new collaborations are coming to place. The shift towards a Value SaaS is complete as SmarterChains relaunches fully in June 2024!

By 2016 Ideation

An idea is born. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, our founders recognize the need to organize the chaos of emerging Industry 4.0 technologies in manufacturing. Months of research result in the creation of the Industry 4.0 10 Dimensions and our first product: the Smart Factory Technology Maturity Assessment.

By 2019 The Smart Factory Technology Roadmap

The Smart Factory Technology Roadmap product is launched. Working with clients, the team identifies the need for a common language to overcome Industry 4.0 confusion and stagnation, leading to the creation of the Smart Factory Academy.

By 2023 SaaS

The team has been focused on creating a self-serve, self-sustainable SaaS company with the Value Intelligence Platform at the center. The products are fully developed and market-tested. This year marks significant market validation as SmarterChains wins a major RFP in Saudi Arabia. The Go-to-Market strategy now involves collaboration with System Integrators, and plans for global expansion are underway.
