Automation engineers and system integrators to benefit from an expanded HMS offering – a one-stop-shop for industrial communication on hms-networks.com.
HMS Networks now announces that Red Lion and N-Tron are officially product brands “by HMS Networks.” For thousands of automation engineers and system integrators all over the world, this means that scalable industrial solutions for cloud connectivity, edge intelligence, asset management, industrial Ethernet switches, panel meters and operator panels are now available from one trusted source, presented on hms-networks.com.
Following the 2024 acquisition of Red Lion Controls Inc., HMS and Red Lion teams have worked together to seamlessly integrate their offerings.
