Hans officially joined Basetime on September 1st, 2021, but his involvement goes back much further. Since March 2016, he has been working closely with Eltjo and Martijn, contributing to the development and growth of the concepts that would later become Basetime.

What Hans values most about working at Basetime

Taking on new developments and further shaping them into mature, reliable solutions. Translating innovation into something that truly works in practice is what motivates him most.

What gives him energy in his work

Supporting colleagues and customers in making the most of our products. He also gains a lot of energy from actively contributing ideas and thinking along about new developments within Basetime.

The impact he aims to make

Hans wants to contribute to a reliable, worldwide monitoring system that supports a safe working and living environment. A goal that closely aligns with our belief that a safer tomorrow starts with monitoring today.

Why he still enjoys working at Basetime

Because new challenges keep presenting themselves. Each challenge offers new opportunities to learn, improve and continue building.

 

What he is most proud of

That an initial idea has grown into an international concept that is now used and sold worldwide. He is especially proud of his contribution to the development of Parvamoti and the establishment of the S&S team.

Outside the office

Hans finds a lot of energy in family life and enjoys raising his three children. He is also chairman of Scouting Paulus, where he actively contributes to a young and vibrant volunteer organisation. In his free time, he enjoys running, occasionally completing a half marathon, staying active, and working around the house and in the garden.

His personal motto

“Everything will be alright.”

Stay tuned, as more colleagues will step into the spotlight soon. ✨

What’s new in Parvamoti? Part 3 of 3: View Movement Parallel and Perpendicular to Your Asset

For Object Monitoring projects, movement can now be viewed in relation to the actual direction of the asset.

By defining the Angle Linear Asset, Parvamoti can visualise displacement parallel and perpendicular to the structure, making it easier to understand whether movement is occurring along or across bridges, railways, roads and other linear assets.

A clearer way to interpret movement. More context for your monitoring data.

Introducing Alerts in Parvamoti

Monitoring shouldn’t mean continuously checking a dashboard to see whether something has changed.

With Alerts in Parvamoti, users can define relevant movement conditions and automatically notify the right people by email, SMS or both when those conditions are met.

That means less time spent manually checking monitoring dashboards, greater oversight of changing conditions and more focus on what happens next.

With the latest Alerts V2 update, we’ve expanded this functionality with more precise device targeting, new movement comparison options, clearer threshold guidance and a simpler configuration flow.

It’s another step towards our goal of making Parvamoti a more proactive monitoring platform, moving from reliable monitoring data towards timely information and action.

In our latest newsletter, we introduce Alerts in Parvamoti and take a closer look at what the new functionality offers.

What’s new in Parvamoti? – Part 2 of 3: Understand settlement relative to your project baseline

In the second part of our Parvamoti update series, we’re highlighting the 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗼𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱.

This allows users to analyse soil level and ground plate height relative to the initial project baseline, making it easier to follow settlement development and recognise movement trends over time.

The dashboard also brings these measurements together visually, with the option to review individual measurements, averaged values and export the data for further analysis.

Read Part 2 to learn more about how Relative Settlement provides clearer context for settlement monitoring.
