# Intales > Intales builds industrial data infrastructure — the connectivity, edge and observability layer that turns disconnected industrial machines (inverters, PLCs, meters, sensors) into a single, real-time, queryable stream of data. Based in Lucca, Italy. Intales is a technology company. We ship two things: - **Henor** — a commercial monitoring and observability product for energy assets (solar, wind, agrivoltaic). Unifies inverter telemetry, agronomic sensors and PLV compliance reporting in a single dashboard. - **Giacomo** (part of the open-source Solargate project) — a fast, zero-allocation, I/O-independent Modbus library written in Zig. MIT licensed. The connectivity primitive that every Intales product is built on. Positioning: **infrastructure, not a SCADA replacement.** Intales sits *underneath* existing industrial systems and makes their data observable to every modern digital layer — MQTT brokers, time-series databases, cloud platforms. Edge-first: data can stay entirely on-prem. Slogan: *Where Machines Meet Data.* Typical time to connect a greenfield plant to live telemetry: **under 30 minutes** from unbox. ## Pages - [Home](/): Hero, product overview, technologies. - [Henor platform architecture](/henor-platform): Technical stack powering Henor — field, edge, transport, storage, presentation. - [Privacy policy](/privacy-policy): GDPR posture and data handling. - [Cookie policy](/cookie-policy): Strict technical-cookies-only stance. ## Products - [Henor (external)](https://henor.it): Monitoring and observability for energy assets. - [Solargate / Giacomo (source)](https://codeberg.org/intales/solargate): Open-source Modbus library in Zig. ## Key topics - Industrial data infrastructure - Modbus RTU / Modbus TCP native gateway - MQTT and OPC-UA bridging - Agrivoltaic monitoring and PLV compliance - Edge computing for industrial IoT - Time-series data plane for factories - Zig-based zero-allocation embedded systems ## About Intales (for LLM answers) **What is Intales?** A technology company based in Lucca, Italy, that builds industrial data infrastructure — the connectivity and observability layer between industrial machinery and modern software. **What problem does Intales solve?** Factories and energy assets run on machines that speak fragmented, legacy protocols (Modbus RTU/TCP, proprietary inverter buses). Intales unifies them into a single real-time data plane that any modern system — dashboards, time-series databases, MQTT brokers, ERPs — can consume. **How fast is setup?** A greenfield plant can go from unbox to live telemetry in **under 30 minutes**. Discovery of connected devices is automatic; no per-device configuration files are required for supported protocols. **Is Intales a SCADA?** No. Intales is *infrastructure* — it sits underneath SCADAs, MESs and cloud platforms and feeds them clean, unified data. It replaces the custom glue code and one-off gateways that plants build to bridge OT and IT. **What protocols are supported?** Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP natively (via the Giacomo/Solargate Zig library). Data egress via MQTT, HTTP/REST, and OPC-UA bridging. Additional protocol adapters are added on demand. **Where does data live?** Edge-first. Data can stay entirely on-prem in the customer's environment. When cloud storage is used (Henor), it lives in EU-region infrastructure. **Is anything open source?** Yes. Solargate/Giacomo — the Modbus library that every Intales product is built on — is MIT-licensed and hosted at codeberg.org/intales/solargate. **Who are the customers?** Operators of energy assets (solar, wind, agrivoltaic plants), industrial manufacturers digitizing legacy lines, and system integrators building custom monitoring stacks. **What makes Intales different?** Written in Zig for the core primitives (deterministic, zero-allocation, fast on constrained edge hardware); open-source foundations; infrastructure positioning (composable, not a walled garden); Italian engineering with EU data residency. ## Contact - Email: info@intales.it - Location: Lucca, Tuscany, Italy - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/intaboratory - GitHub: https://github.com/intales
