We have a decisive, innovative and expert process innovation team that helps the entire organisation with process innovations. This is how the team is actively and passionately working on the factories of the future - our future! In that future, which is coming increasingly closer, we see concrete factories in which our people no longer perform dangerous, physically demanding, dirty or repetitive work. We see a production location where energy neutrality is the aim and where we can set up a waste-free production process. Digitization and automation will help us do that. We connect machines and computers to keep track of and continuously increase efficiency and effectiveness.

Repetitive, labour-intensive and physically demanding tasks are common activities in our industry. To make the work easier, we have conducted tests to have this specific work performed by a robot. Several projects with robots have shown that we can not only physically lighten the load for our employees but that production lines also suffer fewer disruptions and achieve higher outputs. That is why we are firmly committed to making a difference by continuing to invest in innovation.
In our future production process, everything will go right the first time. We call that 'first time right'. To turn this future into a current-day reality, we will launch various projects related to modernising our entire production equipment in the coming years. The start is behind us, and the future is within reach, but only if we pay attention to it every day.
BTE is constantly working on product innovations to meet long-term needs and market demands. Product innovations do not happen by themselves. They are embedded in an organisational process in which research and development (R&D) go hand in hand with individual entrepreneurship, strategic leadership and committed employees. This requires an integrated approach between different employees with specific disciplines and knowledge that meets the needs within the organisation. We believe that our success in the future is partly determined by developing and improving our products.
