Today is the day, we are celebrating our 40th anniversary!

More than forty years ago, during his doctorate, Mr. Wassermann began to create software for X-ray diffraction on the 8-bit computers that were just coming onto the market at the time.

Device control and measurement data acquisition were the first applications that were soon used as standard in what was then the Mineralogical-Petrographical Institute of the LMU Munich. It did not take long for the manufacturers of diffractometers to become aware of this development, and the first software package for the XRD was launched in 1981 under the name ADM, offering device control, measurement data acquisition, basic data evaluation, phase analysis and lattice constant refinement.

In the same year the company RMSKempten (Röntgenanalytik.Meßsysteme.Software) was founded and with his first comrade-in-arms and lifelong friend Dr. Günter Lorenz became the business areas

• XRD software,
• XRD laboratory (phase analysis, residual stress, texture analysis) and
• Education (user training, seminars and workshops)

brought to life.

Today, RMSKempten offers its sales partners corporate fitted, ready-to-use software solutions for almost all applications required for the XRD.
