FORSIS GmbH - our history
The roots of FORSIS go back to 1995. At that time, the company was founded under the name KUMATRONIK Industrial Products, which was the direct successor to KUMATRONIK Automation Systems GmbH, which was founded in 1982.
Since 2006, the former brand name "FORSIS" has also stood for the entire company.
With its optimized industrial PC series MASTER, EXPERT, PROFI, ENTRY and MOBILE, FORSIS soon gained an excellent reputation in the market.

Standards - Modular - Flexible
- Standards for the components used
- Modular in the structure of our devices
- Flexible in cooperation with our customers and suppliers
In the area of standard components, there is a certainty that they are always up-to-date. The standardization enables the merging of existing infrastructures and helps us to reduce development times and costs.
Due to the modular device structure, the latest components can be used, and their long-term availability is also guaranteed.
The flexibility is already expressed in the flexible scalability according to customer requirements with regard to issues such as inch size or selection of the CPU.
Our motto: The customer should get what he needs at the time. Nevertheless, it must be possible to optimally adjust the output when retrofitting.
So that you can solve your tasks in industrial data acquisition in full, you get everything from a single source at FORSIS: from application advice, to various ident devices for personal and RFID acquisition to industrial input and output devices, mounting systems and assembly technology.
We also make our bundled know-how available to you as part of complete solutions and mobile workstations, as well as efficient solutions for decentralized machine data acquisition (MDE) via small, networked I/O Units. Of course including monitoring and remote management.
The declared goal of FORSIS is maximum availability and productivity for our customers. That's why development and design aim for the simplest possible service - for and by our customers.
Despite all care, hardware errors can never be completely ruled out. That's why we focus on quick repairs and short maintenance times. In addition, we have developed a series of service modules that you can use to increase reliability as needed.
With the help of RMA numbers and a dedicated CAREDESK system, we handle any service cases quickly and to your satisfaction. For special requirements we offer an optional repair service. We can extend the warranty periods for material and services on request.

Looking ahead
Despite the constant changes in markets and technology, FORSIS would like to hold on to important constants in the future, to which the company owes its current position in the market to a large extent: customer proximity language-focused provider, the high level of consulting expertise from over 20 years of experience in data collection and the consistently high quality in the area of hardware, services and solutions. Because one thing is clear and will probably never change: After the purchase is before the purchase. The constant effort for long-term partnerships will probably also make the difference in the next 20 years, which is why customers and partners decide to work with FORSIS.
