More on the subject

Fokke van der Kamp, Director Technology Quality Systems, and Robert Bijl, Director Architecture & Integration for Tech Platforms, Head of Architecture Technology, are leading Vanderlande’s effort to shape the IT and data architecture in such a way that AI can be deployed structurally and at scale. Their mission is to align the ways of working between business and IT, clean up the fragmented technology landscape, and connect multiple data meshes to enable richer and more complex insights.

Robert builds the robust platform and data architectures, while Fokke develops the AI-driven applications that accelerate decision-making and innovation. During an exclusive Vision Dinner on October 30, they will walk you through their three-step approach: first, sketching the context, then sharing the “cookbook” to become AI-ready, and finally, showing how this strategy is applied in practice at Vanderlande. They also share early AI use cases from their new advanced analytics team, where data from multiple meshes is combined to generate deeper insights.
