BIOGRAPHY

Hi, I'm Ferry Boussen, As a seasoned Process Control Engineering Consultant, I specialize in optimizing industrial processes, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring seamless operations. With a deep understanding of control automation and process management, I collaborate with clients to achieve tangible improvements in their manufacturing and production environments.

I specialize in bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical business solutions. My mission is to empower organizations by harnessing the transformative potential of IoT.

Strategic IoT Integration. I collaborate with businesses to create or refine their IoT strategies. Whether it’s incorporating IoT into existing processes, launching new ventures, or driving performance improvements, I guide clients toward high-value solutions.

Next-Gen Operations I develop IoT proofs of concept (PoCs) that pave the way for next-gen operations. From digital roadmaps to analytics-driven insights, I ensure that data translates into actionable outcomes.
