We currently focus on designing and producing customized, dedicated software for industry, which can be classified as dedicated expert systems of advisory type. We use advanced IT techniques as well as mathematical and numerical models. We have developed our copyright algorithms for problem solving and analysing real industrial technologies.
We strive to create the type of IT systems that are as configurable as possible at the stage of system implementation by the user, be it a technologist or a process engineer, i.e. non-IT specialists. As a result, the data and information-flow model is created by those who have the best knowledge of the technological process in progress. When designing such systems, it is difficult to determine the final shape and all functions of the software. We take into consideration all changing requirements. We make use of agile methods as the system is being designed by interdisciplinary teams.
Our firm was founded in 1989 by a group of people associated with the then state-owned PETROINFORM company, which was one of Poland’s largest computing centres working for the country’s industry. Among the founders were: the first chairman, the late Lucjan Wiaderek, and the current chairman, Adam Sury. The company, then known as the Przedsiębiorstwo Komputerowych Systemów Sterowania “PETROSTER” (PETROSTER Computer Control Systems Company), operated until 2002. It is then that we changed the name of the company into the INFOSTER sp. z o.o. under which we have been operating until today. Originally closely linked with the Rafineria Gdańska (Gdańsk Rafinery), later with the LOTOS S.A. Group and currently with the Rafineria Gdańska sp. z o.o. , we have created the Bilans, a dedicated system for balancing energy media, which has been in operation until today, as well as the Aster, an innovative adaptive control system.
