Founded in 1958, IMS originally marketed industrial marking processes. IMS became a label converter in the 80s, with the ability to produce labelling solutions for just about any type of bar coding application. The company then grew to distribute a full line of data capture equipment, including printers, scanners, and related hardware. In addition, IMS also expanded to provide a full line of both depot and on-site equipment service.

A few years ago, as the data capture industry continued to grow, IMS positioned itself to be a "solutions provider" with complete data capture systems for application such as warehouse management, inventory control, work-in-process, asset tracking, shipping/receiving, and shop floor data capture.

Today, IMS's expertise encompasses data capture systems that utilize advanced technologies including radio frequency and other host systems.
