Testimonials

I have worked with great satisfaction with Peter on a project within Gevasol, where we digitized the results of quality control. What started as an open wish—to directly register analog measurement results digitally with specific batch numbers and expand memory capacity—was transformed by Peter into a complete, functional solution.

He developed, specified, and implemented a software and hardware combination suitable for all generations of instrumentation. Thanks to his approach, all quality control stations are now universally applicable, featuring a "Poka-Yoke" barcode structure. Moreover, not only are all measurement data stored in a central database, but the software itself is as well. This allows software updates to be deployed instantly to all instruments, regardless of their location worldwide.

Beyond his technical expertise and problem-solving skills, I especially appreciate his structured approach and ability to translate an abstract need into a concrete and effective system. I highly recommend Peter for complex technical projects where innovation and pragmatic implementation must go hand in hand.

During the "Green Transport Delta" project, I worked closely with Peter, who provided us with valuable advice to ensure the quality of newly developed battery packs on the demonstration production line at VDL Nedcar. Peter proved to be invaluable due to his technical expertise and his ability to quickly and effectively implement solutions within a project environment.

He not only advised on the right equipment but also ensured that these solutions were seamlessly integrated into the production processes, allowing us to maintain quality and consistency. Peter’s pragmatic approach and solution-oriented mindset enabled us to efficiently achieve the project goals.

Peter is a highly valuable advisor who applies his knowledge directly to create practical, workable solutions in complex project environments. I wholeheartedly recommend him for (technical) challenges in project consulting and process optimization.

I have had the pleasure of working with Peter Verkerk, whose consultancy was instrumental in making the quality control process at Neways Cable and Wire Solutions more efficient. Our collaboration arose due to increasing demand for higher production volumes, where the speed of quality control had become a bottleneck. The extremely stringent testing requirements specified by ASML, along with the associated methodology, posed a major challenge.
What set Peter apart was his ability to critically challenge this methodology. Through in-depth theoretical and practical substantiation, he convincingly demonstrated that an alternative testing method could ensure the same level of quality. This almost academically supported argument, combined with constructive discussions, was key to gaining approval for a more efficient testing procedure.

Thanks to Peter’s proposed approach, Neways Cable and Wire Solutions can now meet increased production demands without requiring major modifications to the production environment. Additionally, he provided the right instrumentation and new appendages to execute these tests effectively.

Without his expertise and well-founded approach, challenging these testing requirements would not have been successful. I highly recommend Peter for complex quality and process optimization challenges where theoretical validation and practical implementation must go hand in hand.

I have had the opportunity to work with Peter, where he managed several complex projects that required tailor-made solutions each time. These projects were always ‘one-off’ and demanded a “first time right” approach, which Peter consistently executed with excellence.

What I particularly appreciate in our collaboration is Peter's ability to quickly and effectively find the right solutions for these unique challenges. He not only possesses the technical expertise but also the pragmatic insight to complete projects smoothly and with great attention to detail. Our collaboration was always highly constructive, fostering a true partnership that made delivering high-quality solutions to fully satisfy the customer remarkably easy.

I highly recommend Peter for any situation requiring complex, customized solutions and precision. His professional approach and excellent communication make him a valuable partner.
