About MASS – market knowledge from over 40 years of business activity

Founded in 1979. Initial planning, programming, commissioning and maintenance of machine control systems with PLCs from leading manufacturers. Expansion to include devices and control cabinets for interlinked production lines. From 1988 Use of the first industrial PCs on single Eurocards with numerous I/O boards (fast counting, positioning and measurement technology). Since 1992, IPCs have been used instead of PLCs. MASS was involved in the definition and testing of the IPC bus systems ISA96 and IPCI as well as some platforms for embedded PCs.

From 1995 Use of the first LC displays as the successor to CRT monitors. Touchscreens were then introduced instead of membrane keyboards. The software developments were carried out under real-time multitasking and DOS/Windows operating systems.
Since then, > 100,000 IPCs have been delivered to customers worldwide.
