WIKA has acquired a majority stake in Asystom SAS, a French company specializing in industrial smart monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions. The measurement technology manufacturer and IIoT solution provider has held a stake in Asystom since 2024. As the majority shareholder, WIKA now intends to play an even more active role in shaping the company’s strategic direction. The global network of WIKA subsidiaries is to strengthen the sales and servicing of the Asystom solutions — for example for installation. WIKA will also use its research and development resources to collaborate with Asystom on the continuous development of its portfolio.
Asystom develops advanced sensors and intelligent solutions for the remote monitoring of industrial systems. The company’s core offering is based on embedded acoustic and vibration data processing technologies, combined with AI-driven analytics and diagnostic tools that enable continuous machine health monitoring. Multisensor instruments support signal acquisition, while the IIoT software layer analyzes the data and detects deviations using machine learning. This enables companies in the process and manufacturing industries to identify anomalies at an early stage and perform targeted maintenance on their systems. Users can therefore avoid costly failures and organize their maintenance processes much more efficiently.
“WIKA sees itself as a driver for the development of pioneering IIoT technologies,” said Thomas Hasenoehrl, WIKA’s vice president IIoT Systems & Solutions. “The majority stake in Asystom is another strategic milestone in this regard. The IIoT offers enormous optimization potential for the industry, particularly in the field of predictive maintenance. With its innovative, scalable solution, Asystom complements our partner network perfectly.”
Pierre Naccache, Asystom’s CEO, said: “Industrial players need solutions that stand the test of time. With WIKA, we combine global deployment capabilities and a shared technology vision to deliver a complete, integrable, and scalable approach that brings together sensors, connectivity, software, and services, addressing industrial needs in the short, medium, and long term. Our ambition goes beyond predictive maintenance alone: we want to provide an open and future-proof foundation for collecting, processing, and turning industrial sensor data into actionable value at scale.”
