2. Achievements
2016 Obtained subsidy from European Committee as part of a 2 year research program between KLM
and NLR as part of CleanSky 2.0 project. Research project around use of Augmented and Virtual
reality use within an aircraft cabin, with the purpose to enhanced passenger well-being, increase
ancillary sales and improve operational efficiency. The research project focusses on building
technology demonstrators and analysis of human factors around using these technologies.
2016 Product owner for the roll-out of modular Internet of Things infrastructure within Air France /
KLM, based on the outcome of the Internet of Things experiments.
2016 Developed and build experiment around using security camera’s to obtain data on passenger
movements at gates at Schiphol Airport, with purpose to build a simulation model around
passenger behavior, so that impact of changes and innovations within the boarding process can
be predicted based on simulation.
2016 Build 1st
virtual reality training for Cabin crew, around extinguishing a Li-Ion fire onboard a flying
aircraft.
2015 Development of the first interactive Hologram, with the purpose to experiment if such
technology could eventually reduce manpower and increase passenger satisfaction via a more
personal experience.
2015 Introducing Internet of Things within Air France / KLM, starting with initial technology
experiments around track & tracing of asset (equipment and vehicles) for Cargo, Engineering
and Maintenance, leading up to more advance use cases like simulation of assets flow within the
Jet Engine repair shop logistic chain based on IoT data (in cooperation with University Twente).
2015 As part of Image Recognition study, build prototype (with University of Amsterdam students) for
an automated jet-engine Boroscope inspection, reducing the time required to inspect a jet-
engine from 2 man-days to 2 hours while increasing the level of accuracy and repeatability.
2015 Designed and developed a prototype of a speech recognition based application to register safety
related incidents via a natural interaction interface.
2015 Together with TU Delft students, converted a simple pallet-car into an automated guided
vehicle, and demonstrated it usage.
2014 Winner of the Best Operational Innovation award, for the development of an augmented reality
based system to detect faulty equipment and navigate inside a datacenter.
2012 Program Manager and Evangelists for the development and implementation of a Knowledge
Management tool, enabling automated incident analysis and incident solving.
