Bringing digital industry perspectives with Van Dorp on productivity, resilience and sustainability through integrated operations and AI.
9altitudes is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Vintecc, the Belgian technology company behind the innovative Capture IoT platform. This collaboration marks an important step in strengthening our ability to connect IT and OT and deliver a true end-to-end Digital Common Thread for manufacturing and technical service organizations across Europe.
By combining 9altitudes’ deep expertise in digital transformation with Capture’s modern IIoT backbone, the partnership enables companies to turn industrial and asset data into actionable insights. Laying the foundation for operational excellence, sustainability, and AI-driven innovation.
Capture is a modern IoT/IIoT platform built on a state-of-the-art edge and cloud architecture, powered by Microsoft technology. It acts as a unified backbone for industrial and field asset data, enabling seamless connectivity between machines, sensors, and remote assets.
For smart connected operations, Capture centralizes shop-floor data through a Unified Namespace and supports:
This approach helps manufacturers reduce downtime, lower energy consumption, improve efficiency, and scale data-driven decision-making—without complex or lengthy implementations.
Beyond the factory floor, Capture also enables smart connected products. The platform supports device onboarding, fleet and asset management, and full lifecycle monitoring. By transforming raw field asset data into real-time intelligence, organizations can move toward predictive maintenance, proactive service delivery, and new service-based revenue models.
When combined with Dynamics 365 Field Service, this creates a powerful foundation for best-in-class customer experiences and more efficient field service operations.
“Capture was built as a foundation, not as an end-user application. Integrators like 9altitudes play a key role in translating that foundation into concrete business and operational solutions. Including Capture in their core stack confirms that the platform is ready for international scale.”

This combined approach further strengthens 9altitudes’ position as a leading integrator of a complete Digital Common Thread for manufacturing and technical service companies. Connecting design, operations, service, and data into one coherent ecosystem.
In an era where AI is rapidly moving from experimentation to real-world impact, high-quality and contextualized data is essential. Capture provides a validated and scalable foundation of industrial and asset data, making it possible to apply AI in a meaningful and sustainable way.
Filip Bossuyt, Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at 9altitudes, explains:
“With this partnership, we bring the promise of Industry 4.0 to life. By uniting IT and OT, we create an ecosystem where data is at the core—preparing companies for the next step: AI-driven optimization.”
