Optimize local hardware control in factories

Automation solutions are operable on various levels, stating from controlling the hardware up to automating a whole factory, including actions by humans. The question arises: 'How far can we go?'

As more and more Voortman Software moves into the cloud we ask ourselves the question, “how far can we go?”. We provide automation solutions on various levels, starting from controlling the hardware up to automating a whole factory, including actions for humans. Knowing that our products are placed all over the world, also in areas where internet connectivity is on low bandwidth or even unreliable, we’ve always chosen to keep the system automation and downwards on-premises. We ask you to prove us wrong!
