HMS Industrial Networks is a leading independent supplier of products for industrial communication and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). HMS products enable industrial devices to get connected and communicate in different ways.
HMS stands for ?Hardware Meets Software??. HMS products, solutions and know-how enable industrial hardware to get connected to IIoT software. As such, HMS enables the Industrial Internet of Things which is all about Connecting Devices?.
"Connecting Devices" ? HMS makes industrial communication products which enable industrial machines and devices to communicate and make their data available. In a world where all devices are intelligent and networked, HMS is the leader in making industrial devices and systems communicate ? for a more productive and sustainable world. HMS drives innovation in collaboration with partners and customers creating leading technologies, products and solutions bringing value to real-world challenges.
HMS develops and manufactures software and hardware for industrial communication. HMS products connect automation devices such as robots, sensors, control systems (PLC/DCS/SCADA) and motors to different industrial networks and control systems.
HMS has been at the forefront of technology since the start in 1988 and takes pride in being the innovators of Industrial Communication and Networking field.
With millions of products installed, HMS technology is today a business-critical part of factories all over the world. This puts high demands on quality, compliance, and HMS? ability to deliver. HMS can offer a complete solution ? from product development through manufacturing and support. This makes HMS a unique and market-leading industrial communication partner.
Factory Automation remains HMS? most important market, but new doors are opened for HMS as the need for communication between devices and systems is spreading to other industrial markets.
With the eWON and IXXAT brands now in the HMS offering alongside Anybus, HMS is well equipped to expand the activities further to growing markets such as building and process automation, power and energy, as well as transportation and infrastructure.
In addition to the continued strong demand for Anybus and IXXAT products from the more traditional industrial markets, eWON Remote Solutions is leading HMS into new segments ? vertical as well as geographical. HMS has been "connecting devices" for more than 20 years, bridging the gap between fieldbus, industrial Ethernet and IT-systems. But as the need for connectivity and communication is increasing, the meaning of connecting devices has changed and HMS has evolved with it.
The Industrial Internet of Things is becoming a reality today and HMS technology is the very foundation for making it happen. By offering solid, secure and proven solutions for connectivity between industrial devices, networks and IT-systems, HMS is already enabling the Industrial Internet of Things.
HMS manufactures and markets products in the following categories:
Anybus? Embedded solutions are integrated into the customer?s device offering connectivity to any industrial network and fieldbus.
Anybus? Gateways solutions are stand-alone communication modules offering connectivity between a device and a network or network-to-network or network-to-fieldbus.
eWON? Remote solutions enable users to access, monitor and control their machines remotely and analyse captured data.
IXXAT solutions enable communication within industrial machinery and systems.
HMS supports most of the Industrial Networks and Fieldbuses such as:
Profibus, Profinet, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus Plus, Modbus-RTU, Modbus- TCP, CC-Link, ControlNet, CANopen, CompoNet, Interbus, FIPIO, EtherCAT, FIPIO, Lon works, Powerlink, AS-Interface, FL-net, USB, Bluetooth and others.
Trends such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 require more and more industrial machines to become networked. HMS? products, solutions and know-how enable industrial machinery to get connected to systems and networks and are therefore a must-have for any industrial company wishing to operate globally.
HMS? products connect millions of devices around the world and enable its customers to widen their market and improve their business. HMS' long expertise, large installed base, and wide market coverage, make HMS the undisputed market leader of Industrial Communication and IIoT/Remote solutions.
