My former work at KPN Research


KPN Research (now TNO Telecom) was the research and innovation center of KPN, the major telecommunications company in the Netherlands. KPN logo

Within KPN Research, my work has been in the fields of
  • Pattern Recognition,
  • Hardware and Software Design in Postal Technology,
  • Theory and Modelling of Flexible Logistics Systems and
  • Process Innovation.

I have developed a new way of logistics control: the Service Controlled Agile Logistics (SCAL) system.
I am now applying the principles of SCAL to a new control paradigm for service delivering processes.
