Overview
Founded in Hasselt by Bert Baeck, TrendMiner developed self-service analytics software for process and manufacturing industries. The platform enabled process engineers and plant operators to search, detect, and predict patterns in time-series sensor data from industrial plants, without requiring data science expertise.
TrendMiner's customer base included major industrial companies such as Pfizer, BASF, and Total, demonstrating the platform's applicability across chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and energy. The company was acquired by Software AG, integrating its process analytics capabilities into the German software giant's industrial IoT portfolio.
The acquisition represents one of Belgium's notable industrial software exits and validated the market for self-service operational analytics in capital-intensive industries. TrendMiner shared the Hasselt base with fellow manufacturing-focused startup Arkite.

- A renewable portfolio can look healthy on paper and still leave performance on the table. Individual assets underperform in ways too small to trigger an alarm, but they repeat until they matter. Reviewing one asset is engineering. Reviewing 500 is a data problem, and it needs a different toolset. The next performance gain for solar, wind and hydro may already be sitting in your historian.

- A maintenance engineer walks up to a compressor, scans a QR code taped to the housing, and the asset's TrendMiner dashboard opens on their phone. No laptop, no searching, no calling someone back at a desk. That's the mobile dashboard experience in TrendMiner 2026.R2. Log in from a phone and you land straight in a mobile-optimized dashboard overview, built for browsing, time frame switching, live mode, and context inspection on a small touch screen. Editing stays on desktop, but the field work, checking status, confirming a reading,
- SABIC. Lhoist. Umicore. Nobian. Monument Chemical. Huntsman Corporation. The TrendLab 2026 speaker lineup is confirmed, and it's process experts on stage, not vendors. Maurice Jilderda and Christoph Roosen (SABIC), Mark Junkins and Farhad Jalilian (Lhoist), Dave Carpels (Umicore), Ruud Timmermans (Nobian), Yndalecia Martinez (Monument Chemical), and Peter Liu (Huntsman) will walk through how they actually use data to run their plants. Real use cases, not slideware. Two events, two continents. Eindhoven, September 23 to 24.
- What happens when a process engineer asks Copilot, ChatGPT, or Claude a question about a batch deviation, and the answer comes back grounded in real historian data instead of a generic guess? That's what TrendMiner's new MCP Server is built for. It connects your time-series data and analytic tools to the AI clients your organization already uses, so questions get answered against your actual process data, not a language model's best guess. The first release covers discovery, data and analysis, and visualization tools, with
