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.

A positive team spirit, great colleagues, an exciting field and promising career opportunities: for Giel, E’Log Automation ticks all the right boxes. Plus, no traffic jams! This football fanatic both on and off the field holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry but made the switch to automation. A wise decision, if you ask us!

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!
Lifecycle Service Engineer

We’re very happy to have Bjorn on board for the years to come!
Project Engineer
Sven Van Der Sman
Sven joined our growing family early 2024. He had gotten wind through his little brother Bjorn that this company is an awesome one to work at (we assume!) We’re lucky to have found Sven in time, as he was well on his way to becoming the next Belgian snooker champion. He even played the current champion Luca Brecel not too long ago. We know that our AGV projects are safe with this winning mentality in our company!

Tom Gillis
Tom has racked up quite a few miles – literally. He’s competed in several marathons and even walked the Dodentocht (‘Death March’) with his son. Impressive! He’s also been running the course at E’Log Automation for several years now. Since 2000, to be precise; first as a service technician and Arnold’s right-hand man, then as a spare parts coordinator. Tom’s fascinating E’Log journey is far from the finish line!
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 Service PLC Engineer
Stéphan Van Duyse
When Stéphan isn’t immersed in an E’Log project, you’ll probably find this jack-of-all-trades at his parents’ farm. And if he’s not there, try looking at his in-laws’ bouncy castle rental company. Or at home, where he squeezes in renovation projects in the little spare time he has left. Busy, busy, busy! As a seasoned expert in the field, Stéphan is our cornerstone. He’s always keen to contribute to E’Log’s success and works hard every day to strengthen the team.
