What is INDYMO?

INDYMO, Innovative Dynamic Monitoring, is a start-up that works in the field of the management of water resources and water quality. Our focus is on innovative ways of monitoring water quality and ecology using unmanned aquatic drones (underwater and surface vehicles) equipped with water quality sensors and video cameras to collect underwater images, water samples and water quality data. The mobility of sensors and cameras provide a unique 3D understanding of water bodies, and detailed underwater inspections. Indymo has conducted water quality measurement campaigns in hundreds of locations in The Netherlands, and also abroad (Europe, Asia, Africa, South America). Indymo consists of an experienced technical team, led by 2 professors from Universities of Applied Sciences with in-depth segment knowledge. Students and educational institutions are often involved in Indymo’s R&D projects and scientific research. Indymo is active internationally and has a strong scientific and commercial network around the world. Indymo is based in Delft, and has strong links with TU Delft,  VP Delta, and the Water Alliance . Our client portfolio is diverse, comprising major Dutch government institutions, middle market companies and nonprofit organizations.

Rui Pedroso de Lima

Rui L. P. de Lima holds a M.Sc. in Civil Engineering from the University of Coimbra (Portugal), with specialization in Hydraulics, Water Resources and Environment. The experimental component of his Master Thesis was conducted at Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas (USA). After short assignments at a Portuguese water authority, and Deltasync (The Netherlands), Rui researched the effects of floating structures on water quality and ecology using a novel method consisting of underwater remote controlled drones equipped with several water quality sensors. Since 2015 Rui has worked at Indymo (The Netherlands), a spin-off start-up created to pursue novel applications of unmanned vehicles in the water system, with close-interaction with water authorities in The Netherlands. Rui has published his work in several journals (including works in indexed scientific journals), and is part of multiple associations for Water Resources, as well as a researcher of MARE: Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre (Portugal).
