HMS has worked with customization projects since the start 25 years ago, and the initiative builds on this experience. Customization projects at HMS range from simple brand labelling to development of completely new products. All developments are based on solid Anybus, IXXAT or Netbiter technology and platforms leveraging on thousands of hours of research and development time already spent by HMS. This minimizes customers’ costs and time to market.

Examples of projects offered by HMS:

  • Fully customized solutions
    For very specific requirements, HMS tailors unique OEM solutions. Based on proven technologies and platforms, unique solutions are created for the customer in terms of hardware, software, communication interfaces, performance and functionality.

  • Hardware and software modifications of HMS standard products
