The origin of the noax company arose from the desire to be able to offer customers complete CNC software and hardware solutions. Initially, an attempt was made to buy in parts from external suppliers. However, after external industrial hardware providers were unable to deliver robust or long-lasting solutions, the decision was made to develop the first industrial computer in-house in 1990.

Due to the close cooperation with the end customer, the industry-specific customer requirements could be taken into account during development. The quality requirements of the industrial requirements explain why standard solutions are not used during development, but rather the devices are designed in every aspect according to the requirements of the industry.
