In-House Engineering and Software Development
From small, straightforward processing machines to large, complex production lines, we design, develop, and build every machine ourselves. Our engineering department plays a key role in shaping new machinery, while our software team ensures that all components seamlessly work together. Their day-to-day work includes designing, developing, and testing software that powers our innovations.

Innovative Software Solutions
Every Voortman machine is powered by VACAM, our in-house developed software platform. We continuously improve VACAM, utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as C#, WPF, and PLC (TwinCAT). Our development stack includes tools like Visual Studio, Git, and Jenkins, ensuring we stay at the forefront of innovation. This enables us to create even more user- friendly and highly automated machinery. But we don’t stop at machine software. At Voortman, we also develop cloud-based software solutions to complement our machinery. With products like Digi-Steel and EVI, we provide customers with advanced tools for production monitoring, efficiency optimization, automated work preparation and data-driven decision-making. These innovations enhance the performance of our machines and help our clients unlock the full potential of their steel processing operations.
