Being Architect Mechatronics, I am responsible for architectures of high-tech mechatronics systems, control-technology, robotics, multidisciplinary system modeling, system identification, cooperative systems, signal- and data-processing, algorithms for optimization, robotics education, etc.SEGULA Technologies Nederland BV develops advanced intelligent systems, in particular for the High Tech and Automotive industry in the Benelux. Established in 2010, our company is part of the SEGULA Group which has its head office in France (approximately 6800 employees worldwide). As a project organisation, we apply our (engineering) knowledge to non-linear systems. This knowledge is comprised of systems architecture and modelling, mechanics, mechatronics, electronics, software, system integration, calibration and validation. Our priorities for the coming years will be aimed at Thermal and Flow control, Robotics and the development of Autonomous Multi Physics Systems.SEGULA Nederland is the High Tech Excellence Centre within the Group. We strive to be in the top 3 for delivery of High End solutions in the High Tech and Automotive market.Our mission is to connect ourselves with the goals and objectives of our customers. Making the right choices within a project at the right time is made possible by our unique (project) approach. This approach is based on a systems architecture concept, supported by solid project management. Model Driven Development is central in our approach, this is applied in various phases of the project. Ultimately this results in a project that satisfies the given requirements for function, quality and budget. For the First Time Right!Through our approach and commitment, we succeed time and time again in winning the confidence of our customers. Confidence that paves the way for innovation and the best solutions. That is why we are proud of our company motto: Let’s shape the future together!
