Berend-Jan van der Zwaag was featured in the latest episode (Season 8 Episode 16) of De Dataloog, speaking about the role of sensors in data-driven predictive maintenance.
De Dataloog is the independent Dutch podcast about data & artificial intelligence. You can listen to this interesting episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Z2baXYyZ6aREUggEBU85A
Berend-Jan explains the role of sensors within the Internet of Things (IoT) and how they contribute to smarter and more connected systems. This is one of the key areas of research at PS. An important part of this episode is the discussion of the challenges and considerations when deploying sensors industrially, especially for predictive maintenance. How do you determine which sensors you need and in what quantity? What is the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in processing and interpreting sensor data?
We listen to some fascinating use cases, such as identifying problems with axles on freight trains using vibration sensors that generate energy themselves.
Finally, we discuss what we can expect in the future in the field of sensors and predictive maintenance. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of technology, maintenance, and how sensors are making our world smarter and more efficient. Please tune in and listen.

The episode also featured Gideon Langedijk from PhotonFirst.
