Industrial connectivity and edge computing for OT networks and IIoT devices
HMS Networks manufactures hardware and software that connects industrial equipment across operational technology (OT) networks. The stack spans Java/Spring/Kubernetes on AWS for cloud services, with InfluxDB for time-series data and RabbitMQ for messaging — architecture suited to real-time sensor ingestion and protocol translation. Active projects target OT cybersecurity, edge computing, IDS cloud deployment, and AI integration across sales and supply chain, signaling a shift from pure connectivity toward intelligent data extraction and compliance automation.

HMS Networks develops industrial communication products across six brands: Anybus, Ewon, Intesis, Ixxat, N-Tron, and Red Lion. The company serves manufacturing, building automation, and industrial enterprises seeking to extract data from legacy and modern equipment for productivity and sustainability gains. With 1,100+ employees across 20+ countries, HMS operates a distributed hardware-software organization: product development and manufacturing anchor operations in Sweden and continental Europe, while sales expansion targets the United States, India, and UK markets. Current pain points include regulatory pressure on OT network security, inconsistent sales processes, and scaling AI adoption globally — challenges typical of a scale-up navigating both traditional industrial sales and emerging data-driven capabilities.
