- Mooi om te zien hoe onze samenwerking met het NGI rond GeoAI verder vorm krijgt en hoe de resultaten nu ook gedeeld worden met Kadaster Nederland. Binnen deze POC ontwikkelden we een open-sourcepipeline die veranderingen in orthofoto’s automatisch detecteert en zo cartografen ondersteunt in hun werk. Bedankt aan het NGI voor het vertrouwen en de fijne samenwerking. En uiteraard een dikke merci aan Pedro Antonio J. en Bhawna Dixit voor het sterke werk, jullie expertise en de heldere presentatie! 👏

For CERBA HEALTHCARE, that meant thousands of forms that needed more than a standard OCR setup. B_Robots built a custom IDP solution that recognizes the type of form, extracts the right data, maps it correctly and flags uncertain cases for human validation. Smarter automation where it makes sense. Human expertise where it matters most. Discover the full case: https://lnkd.in/gpXffXiJ #BRobots

That may sound less magical, but it is exactly what helps an AI agent move from a clever idea to something that works in practice. We wrote a blog on how to pick the right first use case before scaling agentic AI. Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/e9nHDW-7 #BRobots #AgenticAI #SmartAutomation #AI

- Last week, we had the chance to join B_Robots at 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆, CIONET Belgium's event on sourcing for autonomy, resilience and competitive advantage. Great to see CIOs, legal experts, and tech leaders explore one central question: How do you build a digital foundation that is both agile and resilient? From sovereign data spaces to vendor lock-in tactics. The conversations were sharp, practical, and long overdue. Proud to be a CIONET partner and grateful to be in the room where these discussions happened.

It is one focused use case with enough structure, enough friction and enough business value to prove what smarter automation can do. In our latest blog, we look at how to choose that first use case and build from there. Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/e9nHDW-7 #BRobots #AgenticAI #SmartAutomation #WorkSmarter #AIAutomation
