About us
We are a team of no-nonsense experienced entrepreneurs whose heart beats for logistics automation. We are an independent turnkey system integrator and lifecycle services partner teaming up with industry leading suppliers and innovators of tomorrow.
We live by three brand promises:
- We always provide our customers with an independent view in our solutions. They will always be able to count on our honesty. We’re not in it for the “one-shot” deals
- We simply provide the best lifecycle services not only because we have the best service engineers in house, but because we think and act as one team
- If you buy from E’Log Automation, you buy from a partner for life
Our story of 113 years of experience
Having been part of the logistics and supply chain business for well over several decades, we have seen intralogistics throughout Europe evolve rapidly. With continuous investments in standardization of mechanical and electrical components and especially in software, the tendency to automate has become increasingly less of a “big step” for small and medium sized companies.
Meet the Team
E’Log Automation is a company with a no-nonsense approach, we independently provide, build and service best-in-class standardised logistics automation solutions to fit our customer’s needs, small or large. Simplexity is key for us, meaning we aim to apply a keep-it-simple mentality in a complex logistics environment. The founders alone have over 113 years experience within the field and know we can improve the way logistics automation is being approached.

Tim Lavrijsen
Yet another great addition to our team is Tim. As a leadership member of a youth association, he sure knows how to handle himself in the wilderness.

Lifecycle Services Engineer
Thomas Ghysels
Thomas is truly one of a kind. He loves to tinker with tractors and other agricultural machines and helping his family during harvesting season.

Solution Design Artist
Yoran Van Eekert
Yoran joined E’Log Automation in March of 2023. Next to designing and simulating awesome automated warehouses Yoran is quite the guitar player.

Lifecycle Services Engineer
Nick De Meulder
Nick joined E’Log Automation in the end of 2022 and has already proven to be an absolute added value to our company! When he’s not on customer sites, he loves to ride horseback. His 10+ years experience truly pay off when faced with various maintenance challenges!
Lifecycle Services Engineer
Jonathan Van Oudenhove
Having 11+ years’ experience in lifecycle services, Jonathan is definitely your go-to-guy when it comes to solving controls software issues and remote hotline support! He likes a good challenge, the harder – the better! Just make sure he is not challenged on the rugby field, as Jonathan solves those challenges a little differently!
Lifecycle Services Engineer
Bram Van Belleghem
Bram will never be late to his maintenance appointments. How do we know this? He’s an avid fan of fast cars and racing, the more horsepower, the better!

Project Manager
Mathias Nuyts
Mathias is part of our team of execution experts and looks forward to handle your project with utmost professionalism.

Lifecycle Services Engineer
Jordi Van Mieghem
Jordi joined the E’Log family in September of 2023. As one of our youngest team members, he sure is able to stand his ground between the experienced lifecycle services team members! As a hobby (and of course not on the motorway) Jordi loves to drive fast cars, ideally with the most horsepower! We’re glad to have Jordi on board for the years ahead!
Project Engineer
Tim Van de Voorde
E’Log was looking for a multitasking PLC engineer, and we got what we were looking for! As a father of 3, Tim’s most important job is at home. When he’s not at home however, he’s kicking ass on the numerous projects which require diligent programming. Both Greenfield or brownfield projects are no match for Tim! Besides work and family, Tim is an outdoor man and loves to take a walk with his pet, Bacon. The smartest and cleanest mini pig in Flanders!
Project Engineer
Bjorn Van Eetvelt
As the first controls engineer at E’Log Automation, Bjorn quickly realised he was not going to get bored! Being the hands-on engineer that he is, Bjorn renovated his appartment entirely by himself and loves to implement home automation systems, which obviously came in handy during his first week at E’Log (inside joke). We’re very happy to have Bjorn on board for the years to come!
Lifecycle Services Engineer
Jurgen Op de Beeck
Having joined in October of 2023, Jürgen is more than welcome to strengthen the Lifecycle Services team. The various customers requiring his diligent work won’t be disappointed, that’s for sure! He also knows his way around cars, enjoying the good old VolksWagen models and table football! Besides these hobbies, Jürgen also loves being outdoor, observing birdlife! Welcome Jürgen!
Lifecycle Services Engineer
Joost Dunbavin
Yet another top addition to an already awesome Lifecycle Services team. E’Log is lucky that Joost did not decide to become the next Eden Hazard or Kevin De Bruyne, being an avid football player. As a motorcycle driver, Joost knows which roads are the best… Perhaps that’s why he chose E’Log Automation as his next road. We’re all looking forward to seeing where it takes him and all of us! Welcome Joost!
Senior Project Manager
Eric Henrard
Eric joined the E’Log Automation family in October of 2023. He is truly one of a kind. Having had a remarkable career for over 30 years at various leading execution and engineering positions, Eric chose E’Log Automation as his next “hobby”. HIs real hobby is swimming, which is great, since being at E’Log, Eric feels like a fish in water! Obviously, Eric’s main focus are his wife and daughter, but executing with excellence is a motivator that will always drive Eric to improve himself and the people around him. Great to have him on board!
Project Engineer
Dries De Keulenaer
Having joined us in October of 2023, Dries is not your typical software engineer as he glides through his projects as he does on water! With his experience and mindset, surely Dries has the wind in his sails at E’Log Automation for the years to come! Welcome to the family!
Project Engineer
Bieke Smits
Being the second woman to join the E’Log family, Bieke has already proven to be brave! She is definitely a big added value for us, as she may be handling the PLC engineering for your retrofit or new project! Bieke’s hobby also consists of being a team player : volleyball ! Another great match with our DNA. Welcome to the E’Log family, Bieke!
Project Engineer
Sebastian Smet
We’ve been quite lucky in finding the truly right people for the job at E’Log. Sebastian is yet another perfect example. With his years of experience he’ll definitely handle your projects with ease. Sebastian is an avid football fan and a proud supporter of “den Beerschot”. Welcome, Sebastian!
