AI in Belgium

Belgium's AZORG Health System built a single PMcardio AI ECG pathway across six campuses, cutting door-to-balloon time by 48 minutes and STEMI-equivalent delays by six hours, with 32,807 ECGs analysed, 10,854 patients, 377 monthly active clinicians and 50% better guideline adherence.

At Owens Corning's Tessenderlo plant in Belgium, Waites' AI-driven predictive maintenance system detected a critical temperature spike on the non-drive-end main bearing of the 40-year-old Ball Mill #5 on February 26, 2024, preventing an unplanned shutdown that would have faced a 17-week lead time for a replacement end shaft. The company avoided over $11.24 million in potential production losses, repairs, and downtime — a 21,600% ROI — and has since expanded wireless vibration and temperature monitoring to 24 facilities worldwide.

ING Belgium's Site Reliability Engineering team faced severe class imbalance when training a machine learning model to predict whether planned IT changes would lead to Major, P1, or P2 incidents. By augmenting training data with synthetic replicas generated through DataCebo's Synthetic Data Vault (SDV) Enterprise, the team improved a LightGBM classifier's F1 score from 76% to 97% — a 21 percentage-point gain. The deployment covers hundreds of daily IT changes logged in ServiceNow and Jira Service Management.

GS1 BelgiLux, the Belgian-Luxembourg member of global GS1 barcode standards body serving 20+ sectors, deployed ML6 AI for product label data extraction, cutting processing time from 48 hours to near real-time and accelerating product onboarding for member organizations.

The European Commission opened a call, closing 10 April 2026, for hospitals to join a network of AI-Powered Advanced Screening Centres under its Apply AI Strategy. Members run multi-centre studies validating AI for early cancer and cardiovascular diagnosis, using Cancer Image Europe and the European Health Data Space.
