In Flevoland, the Krinkels — Van Gelder Combination is responsible for the daily maintenance on and around the national roads. A pilot with Camenai started here in 2024 to discover how certain spectacle tasks could be digitized or automated. This pilot has continued since January 2025 in the form of an annual contract.

In September '24, Camenai installed two cameras in Krinkels spectacles. This happened under the watchful eye of the drivers (spectators) who got the cameras in their vehicles: “The installation went smoothly and without problems. We were able to indicate ourselves where we wanted the camera so that it doesn't get in the way,” says spectator Maiko Visser.

The cameras took around 300,000 photos in about three months. This ensured that the employees of Krinkels — Van Gelder always had an up-to-date overview of the acreage. Marcel van der Galiën, technical manager at Krinkels: “It's nice to always have photos available, which saves a lot of time and effort in daily work. We also noticed the interest of our client (RWS), who saw that Camenai's algorithms gave us more insight into road damage. In this way, we create extra value for our client.”
