Company mission
To build solutions that enable Smart Factories to become reality by deploying open standards, independence, and collaboration.
Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Cybus is positioning itself at the centre of the fourth industrial revolution by building IoT (Internet of Things) architecture to enable the digitization of industrial manufacturing. The company’s flagship offering, Cybus Connectware, is designed to accelerate companies’ transitions from traditional factories to smart factories.
Industry 4.0’s emergence in the last few years has cast a spotlight on the concept of The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) – both in terms of opportunities and obstacles. While IoT-enabled automation leads to improved productivity and better safety, there’s still a pressing need for high standard, industry-specific IoT solutions. It’s this bridge that Cybus is trying to gap.
That one of its main investors is PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is telling, as the multinational offers smart factory deployment services itself. While there’s little to suggest an imminent acquisition, Cybus may well be able to tap into PwC’s global customer network, while PwC will be able to leverage the startups industry expertise and tech solutions.
Benefits
- At Cybus you only meet people who really want to make a difference. Fast pace and flexibility shouldn’t make you sweat – our goals are too big for slow walkers.
- Learning and growing – Obviously! We are in a new and unknown market, “discovering new things” is our passion.
- Remote work? We can do that, too. Depending on the situation and your location, we still ensure to have a few days of face to face time with colleagues.
- If you work a lot, you also need to relax and take time for yourself. We treat ourselves to 30 days’ annual leave for this purpose and a additional one-time vacation allowance of a max. 20 days after 5 years of employment (or 10 days after 3 years or 15 after 4, respectively).
- We are an IT company. The usual goodies like fruit, excellent coffee and fun team events go without saying.
- Your personal work-life balance is important to us: we expect your full commitment during working hours, but also respect your personal free time. We strive to utilize our energy sustainably.
