XTAL

XTAL Incorporated is founded by industry veterans in Silicon Valley. Put simply, it is about connecting machines, sensors and robots to software that controls or monitors them.

Who is it for? Mostly manufacturers and operators. Related areas on their profile: Electrical Distribution, Industrial, Industrial Automation, Manufacturing and Semiconductor. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

XTAL is based in San Jose, California. You can read more at xtalinc.com.

If you have worked with XTAL, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
