INOTEC Noodverlichting B.V.

The company INOTEC Noodverlichting was established in 2011. It is a joint venture with German market leader INOTEC Sicherheitstechnik GmbH. They develop, manufacture, advise on, deliver and service innovative and customer-oriented remotely managed centralised and decentralised emergency escape lighting and signage solutions. INOTEC Noodverlichting’s focus is primarily on the Dutch and Belgian market.

Founder Dic Ros has an IT background, and he was surprised at the outdated way in which emergency lighting systems were applied in the Netherlands. They were practically all self-contained systems where each luminaire had to be checked manually, a very time-consuming and almost unmanageable job in many cases. Convinced that there had to be a better way, Dic discovered the German company INOTEC during his search for a solution. They had the solution he was looking for, but they didn’t yet have a visible and productive presence in the Dutch and Belgian market at the time. The joint venture INOTEC Noodverlichting BV was formed as a result.

In the Netherlands, self-contained escape route and emergency lighting systems are still the standard. Because each luminaire is equipped with a battery, maintenance and testing is difficult and unnecessarily expensive. An annual inspection is required by law. These inspections can only be carried out physically on-site, and the electricity for the entire site must be cut off until every luminaire has been inspected and tested. With a central system, all the systems can be checked remotely, and not just once a year, but every week. After all, this concerns the safety of everyone present in the building. The facility manager receives an online message with the test results and knows which exact luminaire needs to be inspected in case of a breakdown. Another benefit of such a system is its lower energy consumption. A central system can adjust the lighting to activate when people are present in the building. If no one is present in the building, the emergency lighting is switched off. This quickly amounts to energy savings of up to 50% and significantly increases the lifespan of the LED lights.

INOTEC’s products can be found on and in airports, hotels, shops and shopping centres, theatres, schools, conference centres, hospitals, and a variety of commercial buildings.

That is why an increasing number of clients gladly work with the central emergency and escape route lighting systems from INOTEC. For example, INOTEC has fitted several distribution centres in the Netherlands with their lighting systems. Supermarket giant Lidl was so impressed by the result that INOTEC was asked to do the same for their distribution centres in the UK and Bulgaria.
