As an entrepreneur, I’m driven to create customer value by addressing near future market opportunities by bringing the right people and resources together at the right time. I understand & deliver 'customer value' by listening carefully to the customer's needs & ambitions. I accelerate developers through their (vision) system design process, and consult & facilitate them with the "vision, tools, information, products, hardware, services and network" that are required for- or contribute to their short- and long term success. Both from a technology and business point of view. With vision on- and about the future, I identify which people and resources are required today to seize the opportunities of tomorrow. The end result: unique added value for the customer, for the manufacturers and for the company. Today I do this - among other things - as a vision expert and as a manager with my company PHAER. We are the sounding board for OEM vision expert customers. PHAER helps them in challenging projects to a distinctive combination of components, with a recipe to optimally combine them. We design for our customers, in close cooperation with the manufacturer, the ideal path to a groundbreaking result. In a nutshell: I’m a business developer, a business strategist, an engineer and a do-gooder. You too? Let's get together.
The technology of computer vision components is a world of endless possibilities. PHAER is the guide between manufacturers and companies that need them. We make sure that the road to the perfect solution is care-free for both parties. Our customers testify that thanks to the collaboration with PHAER they get a head start in the market. As an expert in component-based vision systems, we not only understand the business case but also the technical challenge for our client. We introduce them to the developers of innovative vision technology and to reliable manufacturers of the best performing vision products. We work with the top in the market. And we bring our customer directly in contact with the R & D department of those top manufacturers when needed. Total transparency in the process. This way you are certain of a qualitatively distinctive end result. We advise experts which components will work best in the project. In all facets, in the short and long term: performance, reliability, serviceability and reproducibility. After 22 years of presence and success in the market, we have earned the trust of our supplier manufacturers because we make the advice and sales process transparent, short and efficient for them. We bring them in contact with our customers, integrators and developers of products, faster and through the right path. Vision experts often choose their ideal recipe and the necessary components on the basis of advancing insight to build a unique component based vision system. Moreover, we would like to link our insights from the market back to the manufacturer so that they can use these to tailor the development of products accordingly. We know the market and initiate contact between all players. That’s why we are a committed, reliable partner in an open network with knowledge of product, process and people. PHAER is the confidential adviser who guides the customer and supplier to a successful outcome. We are happy to show you the way.
