How Smart Detection and Computer Vision takes security to the next level.
Computer Vision, a form of artificial intelligence (AI), enables computers to “see” and interpret images and videos like humans do, but faster, more accurately and 24/7. At Pegamento, we translate this technology into practical applications under the heading of Smart Detection: smart, AI-driven video recognition that helps organizations proactively intervene in the event of anomalies, threats or unsafe situations.
Smart Detection is Pegamento’s proprietary solution for AI-based visual security and behavioral analysis. Analyzing and combining multiple camera feeds in real time provides a complete and reliable picture of what is actually happening, without overloading security personnel with false alerts. Movements, behaviors and even anomalous patterns are automatically recognized and linked to targeted alerts. Thanks to local processing, the system is fast, secure and fully integrated into existing infrastructure and Video Management Systems (VMS).
In remote solar parks, copper cables are popular targets for criminals. Pegamento’s Smart Detection instantly recognizes suspicious vehicles, people and prowling behavior, even in the dark, and sends targeted notifications to the security team before any damage is done.
For the Department of Public Works, Pegamento developed smart bridge detection, in which AI continuously monitors whether it is safe to open a bridge. Think detection of pedestrians or vehicles on the bridge deck. Bridge operators receive real-time alerts via a dashboard, preventing human error.
In soccer stadiums, Smart Detection helps identify disruptions such as throwing objects or setting off fireworks. Operators mark suspicious areas themselves, then AI performs targeted analysis and provides concrete images for quick action by stewards.
At the Pompe Clinic, Smart Detection is deployed to provide early detection of escape attempts or suspicious behaviors, such as climbing over fences or prowling, resulting in a safer environment for patients and staff.
At Bakery Amstelveld, Pegamento optimized the registration of product flows with Computer Vision: the AI system automatically recognizes each baked product, and counts them in real time, without manual input. Thus, quality control is always current and error-free.

Hospitality is one of my deepest motivations.
Not surprisingly, of course, customer service is a common thread in my career. Aspects of hospitality is being able to connect, to facilitate but mainly to make someone feel genuinely welcome. My intuition is my greatest asset to be able to put myself in the shoes of a guest. A customer is my guest.
Fed by various senses, an image forms around the client. I listen to what is being said, watch facial expressions, taste the underlying tone and get a feel for the challenge to be addressed. An image literally forms on my retina. I have to be able to see it. If I can see it, I can create it.
In this, the trick is to pursue simplicity, give the client a warm feeling that the problem is understood, receive good advice, facilitated and carefully guided to the solution. Trust, connect and unburden.
The feeling when a guest arrives at your hotel after a long tiring journey, can sit in front of the fireplace, be handed a good glass of wine and stare carefree at the fire. My guest knows it will be okay.

How can I help you? That’s pretty much the first question I ask when talking to people who are curious about our services. In such a conversation, the use of senses is very important. Because not everyone is the same. One person thinks in images, while for another words are important or how something feels. For me, sight and hearing are the most beautiful senses, because both eyes and ears absorb information and can convey or process emotions.
Why hearing? Because listening is essential in contact. And it’s the key to unlocking valuable insights.
I developed this skill early on. As a child, I enjoyed radio plays on the radio, bringing the stories to life in my head.
Recognizing and automating patterns. Tasks we are constantly working on when implementing our robots at Pegamento. My 2 Drentsche Patrijshonden are hunting dogs and certainly not robots. The hunting instinct and intuition is basically in their genes. Continuing to offer new forms of training has taught them to recognize and act independently in hunting situations. Even “unsupervised,” even if I’m not around.
But when you try to teach a brain something, it also starts to see things you don’t expect. Dogs pick up on the slightest deviation in your voice or directions. To start recognizing that and correcting it again is perhaps the most complex challenge. But in our work, for the wonderful clients for whom we get to work, it often yields the most beautiful new insights!

Feeling. That’s the best thing Pegamento stands for. Feeling for technology in the broadest sense of the word. Not only feeling for the exciting stuff like AI, but also for the basics of communication.
The very best part of my job is selling, listening, translating and thinking about what really matters. We bring the digital transformation with a great team!
The diversity of our team, how sharp we are, but especially the wonderful things we get to make makes me feel extremely good. Hence, I intuitively chose the sense of “feeling.
Feeling gives life and differentiation!
