What defines us
GRIPS Industrial IT Solutions GmbH, based in Essen, develops IT and automation solutions for industrial production with a focus on the steel and foundry industries. The company offers software products and engineering services with which production processes can be digitalized, process data captured and evaluated, and workflows automated and controlled. The solution portfolio covers consulting, system analyses and requirement specifications, the development of complete and partial solutions for process automation, commissioning including employee training, as well as maintenance and support with on-call duty. The products meltshop|335 for production control and order data acquisition in melting and casting operations (as an MES alternative or supplement) and the ProcessVars suite for process data capture, archiving and vertical IT integration can be connected to existing automation and ERP systems via open interfaces such as OPC UA. The solutions cover integration from the sensor level up to management and have been commissioned in over 200 projects in 14 countries. The interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, engineers and business economists works with partners from metallurgy and plant engineering.
