CH-270.3.003.244-9〕 The group employs around 2300 people and generated sales of CHF 406.6 million〔() "Sauter macht mehr Umsatz" ("Badische Zeitung")〕 in 2014. == History == In 1910, the company was founded by Fritz Sauter in Grindelwald (CH) as a manufacturer of electrical time switches. The growing number of incoming orders led to an expansion and relocation of the operation to Basel. In 1920, the company was converted into an private limited company. In 1912, Sauter brought its first product to the market in the form of a time-switch – an astronomical clock for switching city street lighting on and off. The lights were switched on and off in the evening and morning, at the seasonal hour for twilight. In 1917, Sauter developed a boiler for the Basel power station, which was well received on the market. The company had already moved its workshop to Basel in 1916 because of its good relationship with the power station. In 1935, Sauter took the step from time- or temperature-controlled activation of equipment to control technology, thus laying the foundation for its current main business. In the early 1950s, Sauter started integrating electronics into the products. The product range comprised devices for controlling temperature, humidity and pressure. In 1974, Sauter brought its first software-controlled building management system onto the market; in 1981, the first devices with microprocessors. In 1984, Sauter Holding AG was founded to defend against a hostile takeover bid. The operational activities are consolidated under Fr. Sauter AG. In 1997, the first internet-based automation solution, that enables the system to be controlled using a web browser, came onto the market. Starting in 2000, Sauter expanded its activities into the service sector. Facility management became an integral part of its key business. In 2002, Sauter began integrating the standardised BACnet communication protocol into the products. In 2009, Sauter brought its Energy Management Solution (EMS) onto the market. In 2012, the Sauter Vision Center software came onto the market, a building management suite with a modular, scalable visualisation and management level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sauter AG」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
