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.

Lifecycle Services Engineer
Bjorn Van Der Sman
As one of the first lifecycle services engineers who joined our team, Bjorn’s commitment is as tough as he looks! Besides being a top service engineer, Bjorn loves spending time with his children and working on oldtimers (the cars!). We are happy to have him on our team, and you will be too!
