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.

Industries du Benelux que nous couvrons

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. Soins de santé: 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.

Adéquation réglementaire et de conformité

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.

Écosystème de fournisseurs et partenaires de déploiement Benelux

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.

Comment nous interagissons avec les clients du Benelux

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.

FAQ

Questions fréquemment posées

Spreekt u Nederlands ?

Les engagements se déroulent en anglais et en néerlandais sur demande. Livrables dans l’une ou l’autre langue.

Travaillez-vous avec les autorités du port de Rotterdam ?

Nous avons conseillé les opérateurs de logistique portuaire sur les déploiements RFID et RTLS. Les engagements directs avec l’autorité portuaire nécessitent des cadres d’approvisionnement spécifiques ; Nous nous adaptons selon les besoins.

Pouvez-vous couvrir la Belgique et le Luxembourg à partir de cette pratique ?

Oui — Benelux est une pratique. La plupart des engagements basés aux Pays-Bas s’étendent naturellement à la Belgique et au Luxembourg ; nous nous adaptons aux spécificités régionales belges et à la conformité des services financiers luxembourgeois selon les besoins.

Comment gérez-vous la couverture publique de LoRaWAN sur KPN ?

Nous concevons KPN LoRaWAN public comme référence par défaut pour NL IoT extérieur, avec LoRaWAN privé pour les applications sensibles sur site. Voir /comparisons/public-vs-private-lorawan pour la décision d’architecture.

Couvrez-vous la floriculture et la serre IoT ?

Oui — le cluster de serres de Westland est reconnu comme un secteur vertical IoT. Détection LoRaWAN, microclimat, gestion de l’irrigation. Nous avons conseillé les opérateurs de serres sur les déploiements hybrides LoRaWAN et WiFi.
