​"UVS Industry Solutions" was founded by Ronald S. Kok (BSc) in 2001. He started with the development of CLOUD applications, user-friendly scheduling software that provided added value to his consultancy services. Although originally intended to be used by consultants and project managers, industrial companies also became very interested in using these applications, so he decided to launch it as a separate product, called OpenICM.

OpenICM has become a revolutionary way to schedule maintenance and to support all kinds of Business Improvement tasks. What makes OpenICM unique is the combination of Competence Management, Resource Management, Production Planning and LEAN / 6Sigma.

Since 2015 development of OpenICM has taken a tremendous leap and we can proudly say that OpenICM has become the most advanced, elaborate Asset management systems in the world. Leveraging deep learning and IIoT connectivity to gain the best asset and maintenance performance while still being easy to use.

November 2015 Eveliene Langedijk joins UVS as CEO and Business Development executive and UVS split into technical consultancy and asset performance, paving the way for further development of both activities. TAP Group had born and as such a group with different activities but one common goal: "Improving the way we engineer, produce and maintain assets".

Since 2018 TAP Group has made an enormous leap into the development of sensor technology especially developed to support predictive and adaptive maintenance. We now supply a wide variety of intelligent, fully digital EDGE devices that have proven to prevent stand stills and increase maintenance effectiveness.

Today TAP Group is leading the way utilizing new technologies to enhance business performance. We put Industry 4.0/5.0 into practice.
