Expertises S30

Looking back, my professional journey started over 13 years ago in a customer contact role for a major telecom operator in Belgium. It was my affinity for technology and continuous learning that led me into technician support roles, first as a Planner & Repair Helpdesk agent and later as a Subject Matter Expert focused on knowledge management and process improvement within Unit-T’s Operational Excellence team. A defining moment came when Unit-T launched a large-scale smart meter deployment project. We suddenly needed to train hundreds of technicians in a very short period of time. I was given the opportunity to coordinate that training ramp-up, and what began as a small training cell eventually evolved into the Unit-T Academy. Today, the Academy provides job-specific training solutions for employees across the company, helping both field and office teams develop the skills they need to perform safely, efficiently, and with quality. Over the years, I've seen technical roles chan...

Since the second half of 2025 and throughout the first half of 2026, Solutions30 Iberia has deployed battery swap stations for light electric vehicles on behalf of Silence (ACCIONA’s electric vehicle brand) across several cities in Spain and Portugal. In Spain, locations such as Galicia and Granada are already part of this growing infrastructure, while in Portugal the network is now present in Lisbon. This deployment strengthens a unique and differentiated technological solution that facilitates the adoption of urban electric mobility. A Technology with Real Benefits for Urban Users Battery swap stations offer a different approach from conventional charging. Instead of waiting for a battery to recharge, users simply replace a depleted battery with a fully charged one in about 30 seconds, providing an experience that is closer to refueling than charging. This removes one of the main barriers to the adoption of light electric vehicles—range anxiety and downtime—making the solution par...

I have worked in the IT sector since 2008 and have witnessed the remarkable evolution of personal computing and enterprise technology firsthand. I have watched the PC evolve from a standard workplace machine into a universally indispensable tool. Today, PCs are the beating heart of nearly all commercial operations and a fundamental necessity for our daily personal tasks. They are also the center of our leisure activities, powering everything from immersive gaming to seamless social media connectivity. As our dependence on PCs, printers, and servers has skyrocketed, a critical challenge has emerged: how can we manage the lifecycle of our hardware sustainably? When a device begins to malfunction, the modern reflex is to discard it and purchase the newest model. However, shifting our mindset from "replace" to "repair" can provide significant economic and environmental benefits. The "Like-New" Revolution: Sustainable and Cost-Effective IT From office lapto...

Earth Day reminds us that sustainability is not only about implementing new technologies, but also about using existing ones more responsibly. At Solutions30, one of the most tangible—and often overlooked—ways to reduce environmental impact lies in the principle of repairing instead of replacing. Every year, millions of electronic devices are replaced prematurely, generating unnecessary waste and additional emissions linked to manufacturing and logistics. By focusing on the maintenance, repair and refurbishment of equipment already in use, Solutions30 actively promotes more responsible consumption patterns. Within its environmental strategy, the Group positions repair as a key lever of the circular economy, fully aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production, as highlighted in the Group’s 2025 Environmental Statement. This commitment translates into measurable results on a scale. In 2025 alone, Solutions30 repaired 246,933 devices,...

I am an IT Manager within the Group IT structure at Solutions30, working across multiple countries to help define and execute our IT strategy. My focus is on building scalable, resilient, and standardized technology foundations that support business growth and operational efficiency. One thing I’ve learned throughout my career is that technology only creates value when it clearly supports business outcomes. That’s why I work to ensure every IT investment strengthens operational performance, reduces risk, and contributes to sustainable transformation. Today, this commitment naturally leads to embedding AI into our core platforms. For me, AI marks a turning point: it positions IT not simply as a support function, but as one of the engines of innovation and competitive advantage at Group level. As I moved through roles in infrastructure, security, and large‑scale transformation programs in highly regulated environments, I came to believe that digital innovation rests on three fundamentals...

In underground infrastructure, accuracy matters. A few centimetres can make the difference between safe works in the future and avoidable incidents. For years, GPS poles have been the standard instrument for capturing as-built measurements. They remain reliable — but with the pace of the energy transition and the volume of new infrastructure being built, we need a faster and more complete way to document what goes into the ground.   That is why LiDAR scanning is being introduced into the as-built process. Not as a replacement for skilled field work, but as an evolution in how information is captured, confirmed, and delivered.   From GPS p oints to f ull r eality c apture     Instead of collecting individual measurement points with a GPS pole, LiDAR captures the entire trench as it is being built. The trenching team performs the scan on-site during installation, creating a complete and continuous record of the cable infrastructure, its exact position, its depth, and...

During his career as an energy consultant, Riccardo Delmastro— Head of Energy at Solutions30 Italia and author of Manual of Vertical Borehole Geothermal Systems —has consistently relied on objective data to support energy-saving and production solutions. Yet, he observed that clients’ final decisions were not always based solely on numbers. Perceptions , opinions, and intangible factors often played a decisive role.   In a 2007 meeting with colleagues and a client, a pivotal question emerged : Why is photovoltaic energy often preferred over geothermal, despite its economic and ecological limitations?     This reflection led to the identification of three key components that influence corporate energy investment decisions:   ECOnomy – Cost and return on investment   ECOlogy – Environmental impact, energy savings, and emissions reduction   ECOperception – The symbolic value and social acceptance of the investment   The third factor, ECOperception , ...
