Ronald Kaempf, CEO
“It all comes to solutions. It is everywhere obvious how innovative companies strive to reduce the testing costs for their components. I think this is only possible to achieve through complete solutions based on standard components or by combining partial solutions based on the same standard components. In this direction goes our strategic focus, here at WKS Informatik.“

2016
WKS Informatik’s Tube Analyzer wins the Innovation Award of the WiR and Kreissparkasse.
This award confirms not only the top technical features of the product, but also the innovative force and economical success of WKS Informatik.
According to the jury, “due to the deeper and precise analysis capabilites of the Tube Analyzer, the quality of measurement systems can be improved drastically. The product, and the concept behind it, can sustain the company for the following years, as there is no comparable product on the market and the diversity of its use cases can open a bigger market.”
