 SAUTER
Your partner for future-oriented solutions –
modulo 6 takes you into the age of digitalisation.

Experience from recent years has clearly shown that future building automation
will require powerful processors to handle large volumes of data, while at the
same time being easier to use. The system seamlessly integrates with the Internet
of Things (IoT) and uses the latest cloud technologies. Because it has opened up
to the world of IoT, the system has to be protected from cyber attacks. In times of
fast-moving technological trends, long term availability of system components is
expected. Modernisation of existing systems and efficient commissioning without
interrupting operations make a significant contribution towards protecting investments.

We at SAUTER are meeting these challenges, and the modulo 6 system generation
builds the bridge between long-proven building technology and current trends
in digitalisation.
