- Join us at the Generis American Food Manufacturing Summit 2026 🥔 Next week on Monday 2 and Tuesday 3 November, Micky, Yarne, and I will be hosting the Polysense booth at AFMS 2026. We'll showcase our virtual operators that close the loop between our in-line inspection systems and the actual manufacturing process. Eager to know more? Drop by Booth 68!
- No plans for lunch yet next Wednesday? 🥪 Angela and Lucas are hosting a lunch at Tectonic in the Wintercircus Ghent! We'll be talking about how what we've learnt at UGent Racing 🏎️ has shaped Polysense 🌱 today and what Physical AI can do to the food manufacturing shopfloor. It's completely free and you don't need a Tectonic ticket to enter. Be sure to register and join Felix Capital and Polysense for lunch. Register here 👉 https://luma.com/gs4bysdp
- This is one I've been looking forward to! Bringing together what's happening on the production floor with the bigger quality picture. Very happy to be teaming up with Polysense on this. Belgian force 💪 Yarne De Munck Jarne Bogaert #polybone #qualityoperations #food
- We're partnering with backbone to connect production line data directly to quality and compliance. Detecting a deviation on the line is what our systems do every day. Knowing what that deviation means is a different question. Is it within tolerance for this customer? Does it break a spec? Will it come up in the next audit? Our cameras and sensors see the product. Backbone sees the specs, standards and supplier data behind it. Connecting the two means our data doesnt stop at a dashboard. It reaches the people who need to act on
- Turns out it’s not THAT windy here 🌪️ Last week, Jonas and I landed in Chicago to build the Polysense go-to-market team. From here, we’ll work with food manufacturers across North America to end production inefficiencies and cut their reliance on manual labor. Today, Micky joined the US team. He has spent the last 15 years in manufacturing and machine vision, and he’s here to close the loop between quality inspection and how machine parameters get set. Welcome aboard! Let’s get this bread 🍞
- Every eclair at Poppies Bakeries gets measured the moment it leaves the oven. Here's what it takes to make that data useful. 💡 At Poppies in Zonnebeke, our system checks every eclair for length, width, height, and color the moment it leaves the oven. Collecting that data is the easy part. Making it useful for the people running the line, in real time, is where the real work is. "Measuring only becomes interesting once you can use the data to actually improve product quality, to reduce waste." Thats exactly the bar Polysense builds
- BOOM! We just raised $10.7M in seed funding to take the food industry to the next level 🎉 We started with a clear problem: food factories losing too much to waste because they couldn't see what was happening on their lines in real time and they didn't know how to react. Today, that problem has a solution, and it's called Polysense. But what I'm most proud of isn't the tech. It's the people behind it. To the Polysense team: every deployment, every late night, every problem solved on a factory floor, that's you. This round belongs to
- I'm building our People team, are you the Talent Partner who'll define our team for the coming years? So over the past year at Polysense, we've already doubled our team from 15 to 30. In the next six months we're doing it again and we're looking for that person who's ready to define what our company will look like over the next years. A gatekeeper that knows how to distinguish who's good from who's great. Ready to get into the recruiting trenches with me? Yarne | Lucas | Jonathan | Loïc | Simon | Nele | Pieter-Jan | Gilles | Kevin
