FUTURE SECURE

•TRANSFER DATA INTO

KNOWLEDGE By transforming collected production data into valuable knowledge, companies can for example not only reduce their own maintenance costs but also use this knowledge to position itself as a service provider.

•TURNING TO THE CIO FOR INNOVATION

With support from manage-ment, the CIO can be freed and focus on new digital offers.

•INVESTING IN IT-PLATFORM

Successful companies focus on and invest in a digital infrastructure.

•ENSURE ORGANIZATIONAL

READINESS IoT not only involves a tech-nology shift but will also affect the company’s busi-ness models, which requires both investment and training of its own organization.

FOUR FACTORS FOR

REALIZING FULL IOT VALUE

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO2016 was a year of celebration in Novotek when we looked back on the 30 years we have been in operation. But it was also the year where we truly set off into the future with the new areas IIoT and Cyber security. We have set out on this new journey with the same enthusiasm as we did in 1986, with PC based HMI/SCADA. The past year was in terms of profit a good year with solid margins even though we had a small drop in income. This on the other hand shows that we have a great delivery model with a great team behind it. With this as a back-drop, it feels great to be able to go into the future with continued focus both on the old and on the new areas and offerings.

76 TRANSFORM DATA INTO KNOWLEDGE

91% of companies Novotek asked stated that they have problems transforming their data to knowledge that they would benefit from. These are just the kind of problems Novotek is experts in.

The idea is to give the customer the freedom to view, control, optimise and follow up their production processes from any location.

A FOCUS ON OUR CUSTOMERS’ SUCCESSOur solutions make our custo-mers more suc-cessful. Our dri-ving force is ourcustomers’ abilityto understand and use their data.

A MIX OF PRO-DUCTS, SERVICES AND SOLUTIONSSolutions that make a differenceareattheheartof our offering. Allsolutions are ba-sed on our pro-ducts, externallysourced as well as in-house, and are functionally assu-red through our services.

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A NEW WORLDEveryone shouldbe able to see, ma-nage and control their production activities when, where and how they want. Novo-tek’s solutions aredesigned to sup-port this ambition.

The industrial world has been shaped by a series of foundational technology changes over the last 250 years: steam and rail (1750-1830), electricity and telephone (1880-1920), computer and IT (1960-2000), and the current era of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and big data (2010-present).

1312 TRUSTED. WORLDWIDE. INDUSTRIAL. CYBERSECURITY.TRUSTED. WORLDWIDE. INDUSTRIAL. CYBERSECURITY.

Cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure and industrial networks have become a daily reality and concern as cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure and industrial networks are turning into a major global threat. Successful attacks, such as the April 2016 attack on the Gundrem-mingen Nuclear Power Station in Germany, the 2015 attack that caused a power outage in the Ukraine and the 2015 attack on the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration, are proof that securing industrial networks is mandatory.

1716 30 YEARS CELEBRATIONEMPLOYEES AND ORGANISATION

Novotek is a knowledge company, which means that the company’s success is largely depen-dent on its ability to attract and retain employees with the right skills. In this context skills refers to knowledge as well as social skills and the ability to focus on the customer. Novotek therefore seeks to ensure that it offers attractive employment terms, in terms of opportuni-ties for personal development as well as remuneration.
