“At INL, technology transfer into the marketplace is important to our mission as it puts our innovations to use and makes actual impact in our community,” explains Jason Stolworthy, Technology Deployment Director at INL. And the solutions are made available through various forms of licenses, including open-source and proprietary options. The INL software marketplace – an example of an industrial app store – gives visitors to the site access to software code and data sets developed at INL. In fact, in preparing their digital marketplace, INL identified over 200 software items and application tools, which it believes could have broader appeal beyond the DOE and help to fuel innovation in other organizations as well. And the output from their activities includes the development of a wide range of industrially-relevant software. INL is home to over 5,700 experts in areas such as renewable energy and security systems.
These usability advantages cross over into the commercial sector too, as the rise of the industrial app store highlights.
