InDriver – an industrial data integration platform.
InDriver is a versatile programming platform developed by InAnalytics, designed to automate data integration, processing, and analysis.
It features a multi-threaded JavaScript engine and a robust API, enabling users to create systems that continuously execute user-defined tasks and algorithms.
InDriver supports various technologies, including JavaScript, JSON, SQL, cloud architecture, IoT, Modbus, socket and serial communication, REST API, redundancy, time series aggregation, forecasting, and anomaly detection.
It's ideal for professionals across industries such as industrial automation, energy data analytics, IoT, and business intelligence, providing both commercial and non-commercial (free) usage options.
Easy to install and start
InDriver can be installed on any Windows computer, server, virtual machine, or edge device, supporting the widely used Windows 10, 11, or Windows Server 2018+.
This ensures:
-
Swift 1-minute installation and easy upgrades facilitated by the Windows Installer InSetup, which can be conveniently downloaded.
-
Endorsement by enterprises that continue to favor Windows platforms.
Plans include support for Linux platforms, leveraging InDriver's source code built on a cross-platform compiler.
Distributed, scalable architecture with redundancy, backups, and remote management
InDriver employs a distributed architecture, enabling centralized management of InDriver instances through InStudio.
InDriver connects to InStudio via InServer (SQL Server), where its configuration and logs are stored. During the upload of configuration, it is also stored in a local file where InDriver is executed. InDriver can establish connections with multiple InServer instances, ensuring redundancy and configuration backups.
In the example system, as shown in the Connection Table from InStudio, 5 InDriver instances are connected via 2 InServers and through local direct connections, operating with a last response time of 2 seconds.
Compact Interface, Clear and Easy to Use
InStudio's user-friendly interface provides a comprehensive view of all system features at one glance. It facilitates the management of multiple InDrivers, allowing users to modify and upload configurations, view debug logs, messages, commands, and statuses, edit task functions, debug errors, and more. Even new developers can effectively start working with the system after spending just one hour with the provided documentation, instructional videos, and examples.
Change Control
Every change in InDriver configuration, settings, and task codes are recorded in repositories located on InServers. Reverting to a previous version is possible at any time.
Change control is essential in various industries, such as pharmaceuticals.
Empowering Scripting Capabilities
While many data integration platforms rely on a no-code system design approach, replacing coding with numerous options and intricate data flow diagrams, InDriver offers unparalleled flexibility with coding. Thanks to InDriver's task architecture and robust API integrated with the widely-used programming language JavaScript, accompanied by a comprehensive manual featuring hundreds of examples, coding is streamlined to just a few lines – easily copy-pasteable. This efficiency makes InDriver an ideal choice for system development with limitless possibilities.

Script Example:
Invoke two functions to establish a REST API connection.
Advanced API with unique InDriver features
InDriver features a built-in API that enhances JavaScript with seamless and efficient capabilities for SQL query execution, REST API calls (RestApi), Modbus device read/write (ModbusApi), starting and terminating external processes (ProcessApi), file processing with automatic change detection (FileApi), socket connectivity (SocketApi), TCP server listening (TCPServerAPI), and synchronous/asynchronous operations on serial ports (SerialPortApi), and more.
This comprehensive set of APIs simplifies and streamlines task programming in InDriver, making it both easy and efficient.
Example of: sqlExecute and ModbusApi.connectDevice() script
Example of a Unique API Solution: Modbus Read/Write Transaction Ensuring Atomic and Parallel Execution.
Seamless tasks execution
InDriver's tasks are synchronized with the computer clock, ensuring that all scheduled functions are executed precisely at synchronized timestamps, even in the seconds domain. For example, a 1-second hook occurs at 00:00:01, 00:00:02, 00:00:03, and a 15-minute hook at 00:15:00, 00:30:00, 01:00:00. This meticulous synchronization guarantees accurate data collection. Tasks run with near real-time execution, featuring an average millisecond latency.
In addition, InDriver effectively manages various connections such as SQL, RESTAPI, Modbus, Socket, and Serial Port, immediately reconnecting to maintain unbreakable connections.
Real-time Performance may vary; test results are based on Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition, Standard B2s
Debug Log with SQL connection loss and reconnection actions
Unlike competitors, InDriver provides unlimited data processing capabilities, whether self-managed or on the cloud. Enjoy powerful data processing without cost constraints—no charges based on data volume, no limits on data update intervals, install InDriver and leverage machine performance limits.
