About IMT Services
IMT Services GmbH, based in Waiblingen near Stuttgart, is a specialized software and engineering service provider for machine and plant engineering. The company develops digital machine models and digital twins (IMTwin®) that go far beyond visualization: machines are commissioned, programmed and documented virtually. The services include digital coordination, CAD/CAE design, PLC programming including safety and motion, vCOM development (behavioral and simulation models, plugins, interfaces), virtual commissioning (SiL, HiL, MiL), real commissioning, and training via its own academy. IMT works with established platforms such as Nexeed, TwinCAT, TIA Portal, Siemens AX, CoDeSys and ctrlX as well as robotics platforms from KUKA and Stäubli. Customers come from machine and plant engineering, automation technology, research and industrial production. The research work is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BSFZ).
