HMS
“Can HMS Networks become the dominant industrial ICT platform by bridging any industrial hardware device to any network or software system at global scale?”
HMS Networks was founded in 1988 in Halmstad, Sweden as a hardware manufacturer focused on industrial communication. Over the decades, the company evolved from purely hardware-centric embedded network interfaces (Anybus) to a broader Industrial IoT platform company, incorporating remote access (Ewon/Talk2m), building automation (Intesis), CAN connectivity (Ixxat), and network infrastructure (Red Lion, N-Tron). The company is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and operates globally, positioning itself as 'Hardware Meets Software' — bridging industrial equipment with software systems to drive productivity and sustainability gains for manufacturers, machine builders, and facility operators.
