Emergency and safety lighting systems with centralized battery infrastructure
FiSCHER manufactures emergency lighting and centralized battery systems for industrial and commercial facilities. The tech stack is modest but purposeful—C/C++ for embedded systems, ZigBee for wireless coordination, Azure and n8n for process automation—and hiring is accelerating across engineering and ops roles. Active projects signal a shift from hardware-only toward software integration: AI automation, backend interfaces, and IT infrastructure modernization suggest the company is adding a software and services layer to legacy lighting products.
