Which technologies do you consult on?

All of the major location, identification and IoT technologies: RTLS (UWB, BLE, Wi-Fi), RFID (passive, active and RAIN UHF), industrial IoT and sensors, GPS and GNSS, AGV and AMR robot fleets, and hybrid stacks that combine them. We recommend the right mix for each zone and use case, not a single technology.

Are you really vendor-neutral?

Yes. We do not sell hardware or a software platform of our own, and we take no resale commissions, so our technology and vendor recommendations serve your outcome rather than a product we need to move.

Do you work outside the UK?

We are UK-based and work across Europe and internationally, delivering in English, German and French. Engagements can be remote or on-site depending on the work.

What does a consulting engagement include?

Typically discovery and requirements, vendor-neutral technology selection, vendor evaluation and RFP support, ROI and business case, solution architecture, and an implementation roadmap. We scope each engagement to where you are.

Can you help after the decision is made?

Yes. We work across the full lifecycle - we can also deploy, integrate, and operate the system, so you can keep one independent team from business case through to live operation.

How do we get started?

Usually with a short call or a fixed-fee discovery to scope the problem, followed by a proposal with clear deliverables, timeline and fees. There is no obligation and no platform pitch.

Do you work with the Port of Rotterdam authorities?

We have advised port-tenant logistics operators on RFID and RTLS deployments. Direct port-authority engagements require specific procurement frameworks; we adapt as required.

Can you cover Belgium and Luxembourg from this practice?

Yes — Benelux is one practice. Most Dutch-based engagements extend naturally to Belgium and Luxembourg; we adapt for Belgian regional specifics and Luxembourg financial-services compliance as relevant.

How do you handle public LoRaWAN coverage on KPN?

We design KPN public LoRaWAN as the default for outdoor NL IoT, with private LoRaWAN for sensitive in-site applications. See /comparisons/public-vs-private-lorawan for the architecture decision.

Do you cover floriculture and greenhouse IoT?

Yes — Westland greenhouse cluster is a recognised IoT vertical. LoRaWAN sensing, microclimate, irrigation management. We have advised greenhouse operators on hybrid LoRaWAN-and-WiFi deployments.

Benelux-Industrien, die wir abdecken, behandeln wir

Logistics and ports: Port of Rotterdam (container, project cargo, dry bulk), Antwerp port, Amsterdam logistics, 3PL networks across Benelux. High-tech manufacturing: Brainport Eindhoven cluster — ASML, Philips, NXP, VDL, and the dense supplier ecosystem.

UWB and RFID for cleanroom assembly traceability. Gesundheitswesen: Dutch academic hospitals, regional hospital groups.

Energy and offshore wind: North Sea operations from Den Helder and Eemshaven. Agriculture and floriculture: Westland greenhouse cluster, dairy and livestock farming.

Regulatorische und Compliance-Passung

GDPR (AVG): standard EU compliance; works council (Ondernemingsraad) consultation expected for staff systems. NL Cybersecurity Strategy: increasingly relevant for critical-infrastructure deployments (port, energy, healthcare).

EU CSRD: corporate sustainability reporting — IoT-driven energy and emissions data increasingly required for large companies.

Public LoRaWAN coverage: KPN runs comprehensive public LoRaWAN across Netherlands — usually the default network choice for outdoor IoT in NL. We design for these in stage 1. See /compliance/gdpr and /insights/lorawan-explained.

Ökosystem von Benelux-Anbietern und Bereitstellungspartnern

KPN runs Netherlands-wide public LoRaWAN. Most global RTLS and RFID vendors have Benelux presence. NXP (RFID silicon, Eindhoven-headquartered) is locally accessible for industrial RFID engagements.

Sigfox alternative ecosystem still operates (acquired by Unabiz). UWB vendors active in Netherlands include Pozyx (acquired) and Sewio via partners. System integrator network strong across Brainport and Randstad regions.

Wie wir mit Benelux-Kunden umgehen

Scoping engagements remote; on-site visits regular during pilot and rollout. English is the working language for most engagements; Dutch on request.

We work with Belgian and Luxembourg clients from the same practice — small adjustments for Belgian regulatory specifics (regional governance) and Luxembourg financial-services compliance.

Benelux-spezifische Fallstudien

Containerlogistik (RAIN RFID im Rotterdamer Hafenbetrieb), Hightech-Montage (UWB bei Brainport Tier-1-Herstellern), akademisches Krankenhaus RTLS (BLE - AoA) und Offshore-Wind-Asset-Tracking (LoRaWAN + GNSS Hybrid). Referenzen können mit Erlaubnis aufgerufen werden. Siehe /case-studies.

FAQ

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Spreekt u Nederlands?

Die Kämpfe finden auf Anfrage auf Englisch und Niederländisch statt. Ergebnisse in beiden Sprachen.

Arbeiten Sie mit den Behörden des Hafens von Rotterdam zusammen?

Wir haben Port-Tenant-Logistikoperatoren zu RFID- und RTLS-Einsätzen beraten. Direkte Aufträge mit Hafenbehörden erfordern spezifische Beschaffungsrahmen; Wir passen uns nach Bedarf an.

Können Sie Belgien und Luxemburg aus dieser Praxis abdecken?

Ja – Benelux ist eine Praxis. Die meisten niederländischen Gefechte erstrecken sich natürlich bis Belgien und Luxemburg; wir passen uns an belgische regionale Besonderheiten und die Einhaltung der luxemburgischen Finanzdienstleistungen an, sofern relevant.

Wie handhabt ihr die öffentliche LoRaWAN-Berichterstattung auf KPN?

Wir entwerfen KPN Public LoRaWAN als Standard für Outdoor-NL IoT, mit privatem LoRaWAN für sensible Insite-Anwendungen. Siehe /comparisons/public-vs-private-lorawan für die Architekturentscheidung.

Deckst du Floriculture und Gewächshäuser IoT ab?

Ja – der Westland-Gewächshauscluster ist ein anerkanntes IoT-Vertikal. LoRaWAN-Sensorisierung, Mikroklima, Bewässerungsmanagement. Wir haben Gewächshausbetreiber zu hybriden LoRaWAN-und-WLAN-Installationen beraten.
