ifm takes over CMS Automatisierungstechnik
Ifm acquired CMS Automatisierungstechnik in Linz, Austria, on February 28, 2023. With this acquisition, ifm intends to strengthen its activities in the field of cloud-based machine diagnostics.
With a total of 9 employees, CMS offers automated data analyses for early damage detection and predictive maintenance. The data is used to derive diagnoses and forecasts so that targeted maintenance and servicing measures can be carried out based on the condition of the equipment. From the sensor to the cloud, this creates a powerful offering for customers from a wide range of industries. It includes automated vibration analyses and diagnostics as well as complete process evaluations.
The two companies, ifm diagnostic and CMS, have many years of experience in working together. The first pilot projects for cloud-based machine diagnostics are already underway. With the integration of CMS, ifm is taking another strategically important step towards opening up new business areas and securing a more stable competitive position.
The new company, which will operate under the name ifm diagnostic services gmbh in future, will strengthen the "process" division at ifm. Andreas Hornstein and Michael Danitschek will be operationally responsible for the division together with the current shareholder Christoph Müllner. The central managing directors Lothar Zimmer and Hans Peter Müller will be responsible for the new subsidiary in the "process" division.
