ROEQ evolved from the Danish company Produkt Innovation founded in 2002, an R/D consulting business with clients such as Novo Nordisk and Leica Geosystems. In the spring of 2017 PI had a consulting assignment working with MiR Robots, which spawned the idea of developing the products being sold today. In the spring of 2017 three employees were developing and testing the applications, and the first sale of ROEQ equipment happened in early 2018. In the spring of 2018 ROEQ employed six engineers full time. 

In mid-2018 a small handful of dedicated distributors collaborated with ROEQ to get the products out into different industries, and on the 1^stof August 2018 a designated sales department was established.
