Chemical Engineering Extended Reality Technologies
We integrate your work processes and data into an immersive environment enabling you to collaborate, visualize and train
At CHENEXT Technologies, we develop extended reality (XR) applications – which include Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) – for companies in the process industry. Our applications are used in every lifecycle stage of process plants creating a consistent and continuous support for efficient collaboration, visualization and training. No matter your role or task within your own company, our tools are tailored to your needs. We also include partners and suppliers of the process industry to sustain a collaborative ecosystem.
Problem: Different departments within a company—such as HR, operations, sales, and engineering—require specific types of information tailored to their roles. However, this often leads to data silos, where critical information is stored in separate systems, making cross-departmental access difficult. As a result, employees struggle to retrieve the right data quickly, leading to inefficiencies and delays when making key decisions. Without a user-friendly and integrated system, accessing vital information when it is needed most becomes a major challenge.
Solution: Our XR software solutions are compatible for multiple devices, such as headsets, smartphones and tablets, providing an intuitive natural user interface that can be easily used anywhere and anytime, without the need of a powerful computer. Our solutions connect seamlessly with your database, allowing different departments to access a single source of truth filtered for your particular role. They go beyond just being a training module or visualization tool for engineers — HR can leverage it as an immersive recruitment tool for training and onboarding or sales teams can use it as an interactive aid to showcase products. Even executive leaders can use our XR applications for overseeing
At CHENEXT Technologies, we strive to provide XR solutions to support the whole process industry. This means that our XR technology is not limited to process plant asset owners, but also benefits all their partners and suppliers. For component manufacturers we bring solutions to provide contextual information of their installed assets; for schools we provide virtual work environments to educate their students; for firefighters we bring a visually enhanced solution to train emergency scenarios. By establishing strong and strategic partnerships with all stakeholders of the process industry, we create a connected and collaborative industrial ecosystem that drives innovation, efficiency and safety.
Philippe earned a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from KU Leuven in 2023, contributing to the prestiguous EU-funded ETN-CHARMING project, which combined chemical engineers, educationalists, and game designers to explore XR for chemical education.
Over four years, he designed and researched a VR serious game for lab safety, realizing the broader potential of XR in the process industry. Seeing its value not only for learning but also for cross-disciplinary collaboration, he envisioned XR as a transformative tool for workplaces.
Jürgen has over 20 years of experience in the petrochemical industry, successfully taking on both operational and leadership roles. His key achievements include constructing and starting up two major chemical plants, integrating robotics into operations, and digitizing a cluster of utility plants while leading international teams.
Passionate about breakthrough innovations, he co-founded Aloxy.io and serves on the board of SPRINTrobotics.org, always challenging the status quo. His best ideas often emerge during triathlon training—whether in the pool, on the bike, or running in the field
Koen is a visionary leader with a strong track record in mechanical and industrial engineering, specializing in process engineering, operations management, and product innovation.
Together with CHENEXT and his engineering firm PipeXperts by Engiplast, he is passionate about helping companies excel in the process industry. He thrives on designing, building, and commissioning industrial CAPEX projects, particularly in bulk liquid industries, where he develops masterplan strategies and scalable blueprints. Moreover, he shares his expertise in process safety through deep-dive workshops based on real project cases.
