About HMS

Shaping the connected world!

HMS creates products that enable industrial equipment to communicate and share information with software and systems. In short: Hardware Meets Software™.

We make industrial equipment communicate

HMS stands for Hardware Meets Software. By enabling industrial equipment (hardware) to communicate and share information with software and systems, our customers increase productivity and sustainability. 

HMS Networks was founded in 1988 in Halmstad, Sweden where you still find our head office. Today, millions of industrial devices all over the world use HMS products to get connected.

Since April 2024, Red Lion Controls is a member of the HMS Group.


Our customers — makers and users

Our playing field is called Industrial ICT (Information and Communication Technology). Here, we help both makers and users of industrial equipment.

  • Makers are, for example, manufacturers of drives, robots, air conditioning units, vehicles, gensets or other machines or devices. Makers turn to HMS solutions to get their products connected.
  • Users are, for example, factory owners, system integrators or building caretakers who use industrial equipment. Users turn to HMS solutions to enable communication and information sharing.
