About us

Working towards a stronger and more sustainable manufacturing industry

The manufacturing industry in Belgium and Western Europe is under significant pressure due to rising costs, the need for a green transition, and increasing competition — including from China. Preserving our prosperity depends on maintaining this industry, and that can only be achieved by increasing productivity.

Digitalization plays a key role in this. Our “operations first” approach ensures that companies operate safely and optimally 24/7, allowing them to unlock their full potential and create sustainable value. True to our motto, “practice what you preach,” all our products are designed and manufactured in Belgium.

We continue to build on our network of colleagues to bring you the very best in smart manufacturing.

Dirk Brys

Originally, I started my career as an expert in object-oriented design and development.

More than 20 years ago, I transitioned into data warehousing and business intelligence, and I have since specialized in big data and data science.

My main interests lie in deep learning, big data technologies and data architectures.

I’m a full-stack development engineer who builds front-end, back-end, data pipelines, as well as reporting and analytical applications.

In my free time, I’m very passionate about salsa dancing. So much so that I have performed internationally and ran my own dance school where I tought LA-style salsa.

Geert Van Hecke

I’m the sAInce IIoT whizz “kid” and one of our founders, as well as the inventor of the IIoT smart sensor location ID patent (BE2014/5160).

At the age of 12, I bought my first computer — an Apple IIe — and started coding. Ten years later, driven by a passion for technology, I graduated as an electronics and embedded systems engineer.

Since then, I’ve been designing and developing mission-critical smart distributed monitoring, telemetry, and IIoT systems.
