What imc Test and Measurement does

imc Test & Measurement GmbH is a Berlin-based manufacturer of productive test and measurement systems, founded in 1988 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Axiometrix Solutions alongside sister brands Audio Precision and GRAS Sound & Vibration. The company designs and builds modular data acquisition (DAQ) hardware, measurement software, telemetry and sensor solutions, and custom test benches, serving customers in automotive, railway, aerospace, machinery, energy, construction, and defense. Headcount is reported at 101–250 employees, with wholly-owned subsidiaries CAEMAX and KMT (Kraus Messtechnik) supporting the core product lines.

The technology stack centers on an integrated hardware-software platform. The hardware portfolio includes the modular CRONOS family (compact, flex, XT, SL variants), the compact ARGUSfit click-connect system, the portable C-SERIES, CAN-based CANSAS modules, the BUSDAQ vehicle bus logger, and specialized telemetry (Dx, MTP-NT, CTP-NT-ROTATE) and wheel force/torque sensors (WFT, WTT, CLSx). The software suite is anchored by imc FAMOS for measurement data analysis (tiered Reader/Standard/Professional/Enterprise, with the 2026 +AI release adding a generative AI assistant and Apache Parquet support), imc STUDIO for DAQ, visualization, and test stand control, imc Online FAMOS for real-time calculation, and imc WAVE for NVH analysis. Enterprise integrations include ASAM-ODS (via HighQSoft), SQL databases (MariaDB, Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, ODBC), Python, R, Excel, and PowerPoint, with MIL-STD810F certification on CRONOS-XT for harsh-environment deployment.

The business model combines hardware sales (DAQ systems, sensors, telemetry, turnkey test benches) with multi-tier software licensing (perpetual and subscription FAMOS editions), annual software maintenance subscriptions (€381–€1,595/year), and training/coaching revenue from imc ACADEMY delivered through three German training centers and a Switzerland office, plus a Thinkific-based digital academy. Distribution is enterprise sales-led with dedicated Key Account Managers in DACH, Field Sales Engineers, an Inside Sales function, and a Channel Manager-led partner network covering China, France, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, South Korea, and Hungary. The customer base of 1,000+ companies includes VW, BMW, Audi, Continental, Bosch, Deutsche Bahn, SBB, ÖBB, Alstom, Airbus, DLR, Pilatus, Liebherr, ENERCON, EDF, Honda, and Fraunhofer, with a new defense push signaled by BDSV membership effective April 1, 2026.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• National Instruments (Emerson): National Instruments is the closest direct competitor in modular DAQ systems and graphical test software (LabVIEW), serving the same automotive, aerospace, and research customers. Now part of Emerson, NI offers overlapping PXI, CompactDAQ, and software-defined instrumentation portfolios.
• HBK (Hottinger Brüel & Kjær): HBK combines HBM and Brüel & Kjær, directly competing in DAQ, sensors, and acoustic/vibration measurement for automotive, aerospace, and energy customers. Their QuantumX and LAN-XI DAQ families overlap with imc's CRONOS and C-SERIES offerings.
• Dewesoft: Dewesoft is a direct peer in portable and modular DAQ systems for automotive, power, and vibration testing, with growing global presence. Their SIRIUS and KRYPTON product families directly compete with imc's CRONOSflex and ARGUSfit offerings.
• Gantner Instruments: Gantner provides modular DAQ and distributed I/O for energy, automotive, and structural test applications. Their Q.series and Q.bloxx product lines overlap with imc's CANSAS and CRONOS families in channel-count and target verticals.
• Kistler Group: Kistler is a direct peer in high-precision sensors and measurement systems for automotive development, powertrain, and crash testing. Their KiDAQ and LabAmp data acquisition systems compete with imc's sensor and DAQ offerings in similar test bench use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Keysight Technologies: Keysight is a much larger test & measurement incumbent with broad electronic test instrumentation across aerospace/defense, automotive, and wireless. Their DAQ and pathWave software stack competes with imc in higher-channel-count measurement applications.
• Rohde & Schwarz: Rohde & Schwarz is a large test & measurement incumbent with wireless, EMC, and automotive test offerings. While more focused on RF, their automotive Ethernet and EMC test products intersect with imc's automotive customers in adjacent test domains.
• Siemens Digital Industries: Siemens offers Simcenter test solutions (formerly LMS) covering NVH, durability, and acoustic simulation that compete with imc's measurement software stack. They serve overlapping automotive and aerospace engineering customers as part of a much broader industrial software portfolio.
• Yokogawa Electric: Yokogawa provides industrial DAQ, oscilloscopes, and power measurement instruments across energy, process, and automotive test. Their DL and SL product lines overlap with imc's high-speed DAQ and industrial process monitoring offerings.

Others

• Audio Precision (Axiometrix sister brand): Sister company under Axiometrix Solutions focused on audio analyzers and electro-acoustic test. Not a direct competitor but a group-level peer in test & measurement; relevant for cross-vertical bundling discussions with imc customers in automotive audio and defense acoustics.
