OUR SERVICES


The Netherlands is an epicenter of food & agri technology development worldwide. Being a small country with limited space, agrifood innovations have always been high on the agenda. Our extensive mechatronics knowledge fits perfectly with the challenges in this market. Whether it is optics and vision, or robotics and automation, we can offer you the right multidisciplinary team of engineers to assist you in research, development, system integration, realization and validation.
Because of the nature of food & agri applications, two of our technical capabilities stand out. In this sector, it is all about natural products which generally means a (extremely) high degree of variation. Our extensive experience with optical sensoring, hyperspectral measurements, and vision-based image recognition are key to food & agri development projects. Furthermore, artificial intelligence is an invaluable tool in analyzing and generating images to train algorithms for improved performance, cost reduction and more. So tap into our specialized knowledge base of (AI) engineers to find a solution for your challenges in arable farming, horticulture, livestock farming sectors, and the food industry.

By leveraging our expertise in optics and vision, robotics and automation, we support customers with their challenges in staff shortage, animal welfare and regulations. We deliver high-quality solutions and market-ready systems for processing, quality control and distribution. We do this by making use of multidisciplinary product development, system integration, industrialization and production technology.
We believe in the power of partnerships. So, to deliver as promised, we combine expertise, experience, and domain knowledge to create a winning team. Working side-by-side, creating shared value.



We have grown accustomed to metal and concrete printing. But glass? It not only has a very high melting point, it also becomes brittle after solidifying too quickly. Together with the German specialist in advanced solutions from high-performance materials QSIL we cracked the ‘glass code’.

It is essential that the ventilator support is synchronized (in time) with the patient’s spontaneous breaths. A mismatch in this timing is referred to as Patient-Ventilator Asynchrony (PVA). To improve the patient’s comfort and recovery this PVA must be prevented. A key step in this process is the detection and classification of PVA.

A spherical mount has been designed to align the return optic in a Fizeau interferometer with a laser beam. Faster alignment and a smaller distortion can be achieved by rotating the lens around a remote centre such that the return optic remains aligned with the optical axis of the beam.
