About the Authors

David Ariens

David Ariens

Starting as a Data Scientist, I rolled into the world of Industrial Digitalisation back in 2010. I got quickly passionate about how to involve the human factor into digital projects. I was the industrial digitalization director at BASF Antwerp until 2022. Today I’m leading Analytics For Industry. I’m focussing on all things IT/OT, designing the future operational data platform, cyber security, Artificial Intelligence and more fun stuff.

Willem Van Lammeren, Author IT/OT Insider, Solvay

Chemical engineer with a passion for IT, I’ve immersed myself in industrial digitalization. From OT in logistics, labs, and production to IT infrastructure, ERP, and middleware. Yet, it’s the human factor that has truly captivated me—exploring new and improved ways of working. Whenever possible, I seek opportunities to geek out in production. I too worked at BASF until 2022, today you can still find me in the chemical industry at Syensqo.
