What AUTEC does

AUTEC (legal name Autec Gesellschaft für Automationstechnik mbH) is a privately held German limited liability company headquartered in Framersheim, Germany, founded in 1989 and operating with 11–50 employees. It provides integrated building-security and building-automation solutions spanning access control, time recording and time management, building automation, and hazard management for enterprise and institutional buyers such as airports, government administrations, universities, high-security facilities, production facilities, and research facilities worldwide.

The company's core offering is the XMP-BABYLON enterprise access control and security management platform, which provides centralized control, auditing, and policy enforcement and supports credential validation, identity verification, and emergency mustering. The platform was extended in March 2026 via a native integration with Telaeris' XPressEntry handheld badge and biometric readers, enabling mobile credential validation in field operations. AUTEC complements the software with a hardware portfolio of readers, controllers, and security devices, end-to-end encryption (with encrypted storage in control units and servers), and services including product and project support plus training courses and seminars. The company states quality and security compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 27001 (ISO 27000 family), VdS standards, and BSI technical guidelines.

Revenue mechanics combine hardware sales, one-time software licenses, and professional services delivered primarily through a global channel of qualified system partners who advise on compliance and handle deployment, alongside direct enterprise sales. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. There is no disclosed revenue, no external funding events, no parent company, and no M&A activity in the source data; the company operates as an independent, founder/management-owned GmbH.
