What Advanced Solutions for Industrial Control does

ASINCO GmbH (Advanced Solutions for Industrial Control) is a privately held German engineering firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in Duisburg, Germany. The company designs, develops, builds, and commissions measurement and automation systems for industrial process applications, with a primary focus on the steel and non-ferrous metals industry and an adjacent foothold in water filtration and storage automation. Its customer base consists of industrial plant operators — including continuous casting plants (Stranggussanlagen), reversing rolling mills (Reversierwalzwerke), tandem rolling mills (Tandemstraßen), metal foundries, and water treatment facilities — that require robust, high-precision measurement under harsh environmental conditions.

ASINCO's core technology is radar-based measurement operating in the 120 GHz frequency band with high bandwidth, enabling millimeter-accurate distance determination. The company combines this proprietary sensor platform with classical automation technology, Edge Computing, and IoT-based solutions under an Industry 4.0 architecture. Its product portfolio is organized into three pillars — Automatisierungslöungen (Automation Solutions), Messtechnik (Measurement Technology), and Sensorik (Sensor Technology) — and is delivered through customer-specific development and implementation rather than standardized off-the-shelf products.

The business model is a B2B direct sales motion targeting enterprise industrial customers, with engineering-led custom solution development and on-site commissioning. ASINCO operates in a project-based revenue structure typical of German Mittelstand industrial engineering firms, supplemented by participation in collaborative R&D consortia. Recent publicly visible activity includes co-development partnerships with thermobiehl Apparatebau GmbH (PRÄZI-THERM, kick-off December 18, 2025) and b+s AUTOMATION GmbH (RiKoSKI, kick-off December 17, 2025), alongside a broader technology partner portfolio that includes Turck, Kuhn Innovation, Gassen Instruments, Cerafiltec, and BAV Metabolon.
