AAEON Europe and HMS Networks AB (publ) announce a strategic cooperation in Europe
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Today AAEON Europe, the industrial computing subsidiary of the world's second
largest PC manufacturer ASUS Inc. in Taiwan, and HMS Networks announced a
European strategic cooperation. As a first step both companies agreed to provide
solutions for industrial customers to close the gap between industrial
networking and IT networking.
"Leading the industrial Internet of Things is our mission. Enabling the Internet
of Things in industrial automation means connecting machines to the cloud.
However each machine speaks its own language, we as AAEON are providing the
brain, our industrial box PC and Human-Machine interfaces, but we have been
missing the industrial networking communications. By integrating HMS
communication modules into our solution this allows our products to control and
communicate with the machines. As the leader in embedded computing, we wanted to
partner with the leader in industrial communication, which is HMS" says Fabrizio
Del Maffeo -Managing Director AAEON Europe.
Mr. Thomas Waggershauser, Product Line Manager of HMS says "With each industrial
communication evolution the number of network types and protocols increases in
the market of industrial communication. With our know-how on industrial
communication built up over more than 25 years of business-operation, HMS is
supporting all the major networks used in Industrial automation. With Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT), new challenges for industrial applications will
arise. By teaming up with AAEON, we are glad to have found the perfect partner.
Together we can help customers closing the gap between industrial communication
and IT networking".
Moreover AAEON introduced several new products in the Transportation, Automation
and Smart Metering markets. These products are ready to be integrated with HMS
communication card IXXAT INpact. Together these products allow our customers
improved control over their production facilities and transportation vehicles.
"We are excited to introduce our Intelligent Gateway products to the
Transportation, Automation and Smart Metering markets. We have new series of
intelligent systems products as a part of our Internet of Things solution and we
are ready for the integration with the HMS technology which gives our
intelligent systems an opportunity to broaden our solutions and connect all kind
of machines and systems used in the Automation Market" said Marlo Banganga, head
