Nedap N.V. develops technology that bridges the physical and digital worlds, a field it describes as Digital Twin technology. The company's engineering work spans artificial intelligence, computer vision, the Internet of Things, RFID and SaaS, applied to problems in healthcare, retail, security and livestock. Founded in 1929 in Amsterdam and listed on Euronext Amsterdam since 1947, it operates across Europe, the Americas and Asia.
Nedap was among the pioneers of RFID, developing the technology from the 1970s onward and establishing itself as one of the global leaders in the field. From a background in diversified manufacturing, the company narrowed its focus to specialised electronics and identification technology, and now builds software and hardware products intended to make professionals more productive in their workplaces.
The company states its philosophy as 'Technology for Life', describing a product approach grounded in observing what people actually need to do their work well. Nearly a century after a group of innovators founded it in Amsterdam, the firm remains publicly traded and continues to work at the intersection of sensing hardware, identification systems and applied AI.
