Novotec Engineering
GmbH, based in St. Wolfgang near Munich,
specializes in control technology and has
cooperated with Siemens for some years in the
development of emergency control systems for
police and fire department emergency call
control units, rescue services and other
security control centers. The company generated
sales revenues in the single-digit millions with
20 employees in 2005. Some 80% of this total was
derived from activities outside Germany.
Software used
for alarm and control of intervention forces had
a total market volume of some 100 million euros
in 2005 and an annual growth rate of more than
five percent.
Novotec Engineering's core product is ELS/GEOFIS
application software: this networks main control
stations for police, fire department, emergency
medical services, etc., as well as monitoring
centers operated by private service providers.
This ensures efficient control of intervention
forces, especially in crisis situations where
the time factor is critical. The software is
scaleable and is suitable both for small
installations and for highly complex C4I systems
(Command, Control, Communications, Computers and
Intelligence).
Through the purchase of Novotec Siemens will now
occupy a leading position in the field of
emergency operations control centers worldwide.
