About
What began in 1929 as the 'Nederlandsche Apparatenfabriek' in Amsterdam has evolved into a global leader in digital twin technology. In 1947, the company made a pivotal move to Groenlo, establishing a new factory that would become the heart of its operations. This relocation marked the beginning of a transformation from a traditional manufacturer into a high-tech innovator. Over the decades, Nedap shifted its focus towards electronics and became a pioneer in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in the 1970s, laying the groundwork for its modern portfolio. Today, Nedap operates under the philosophy of 'Technology for Life,' developing intelligent solutions that bridge the physical and digital worlds. The company has organized its expertise into specialized market groups, including Healthcare, Livestock Management, Retail, and Security Management. By integrating IoT, RFID, computer vision, and AI, Nedap empowers professionals to streamline operations and make data-driven decisions. From ensuring shelf availability in retail stores to monitoring the health of dairy cows and securing large-scale enterprises, Nedap's journey reflects a relentless commitment to creating technology that adds lasting value to professional lives.
