Data analytics and AI

Making smart use of data is one of the most important enablers of success in industry.

Data without context is just numbers. In a modern industrial environment, data accumulates from everywhere, and we help turn it into insights that matter for your business.

Thanks to our industrial expertise and analytics know-how, we understand the processes, constraints and opportunities specific to your industry. We analyze trends and interpret them through decades of industrial experience. Our solutions are technically sound, practical, feasible and suited to your everyday business.

What can data analytics be used for?

Predictive maintenance

By using advanced analytics tools, we optimize the performance and lifetime of your equipment. Thanks to continuous monitoring, we identify, detect and correct deviations before damage occurs.

Real-time production optimization

Data offers new ways to understand how your production processes work. An optimization application monitors the process and can be connected directly to process control or used to provide real-time instructions for operators.

Workforce and resource optimization

Using human resources efficiently makes profitable business possible. Efficiency can mean optimizing work shifts or automating processes, so employees can focus on tasks that genuinely require human input.

Electricity consumption optimization

The high volatility of the Nordic electricity markets, together with the move to 15-minute imbalance settlement periods, increases the savings available from optimizing electricity consumption. When equipment energy consumption data is combined with market data, optimization algorithms and process constraints, you can minimize costs.

Energy consumption optimization

Advanced analytics and machine learning offer solutions for improving energy efficiency. Energy efficiency can be improved, for example, by optimizing fuel use or adjusting the ventilation system.

Quality control

In predictive quality control, a machine learning model assesses the quality parameters of the end product already during the manufacturing process. Quality can also be verified on the finished product using a machine vision solution, for example with a standard surveillance camera.

Elomatic helped Stora Enso automate plant­ reporting

Stora Enso and Elomatic have worked closely together to develop reporting at the Heinola mill. It has delivered the results they were looking for: tracking production data is now easier and faster. Employees can see not only process deviations, but also review longer-term trends.

Elomatic had expertise in the tools we wanted, as well as experience in plant reporting and visualizations. They were able to take on a more versatile role than a traditional IT company and help with things like balance reconciliation.

How we work

Before the project, we build a clear, shared understanding with you of the problem to be solved and how it affects your everyday work.

1. Data analysis and assessment of the current state of your data

  • We make sure your existing data has sufficient quality and availability. We assess at an early stage whether data analytics can solve the problem.
  • At the same time, we help you understand your company’s data better.

2. Preliminary solution and machine learning mode

  • We combine Elomatic’s data analytics and process expertise. Our aim is to create a simple, easy-to-understand solution.
  • We test the solution and evaluate the results. Does the solution meet the challenge at hand?

3. Implementation

  • We integrate the solution into your existing systems and everyday ways of working. We help you implement the solution, for example by training your staff.
  • We make sure you get the full benefit from the solution and continue to support you in using it going forward.

Solutions we have delivered

  • Predicting elevator door jams with a machine learning model.
  • Advanced process control (APC) integrated into a wood processing debarking process, using image recognition data.
  • Procurement, implementation and use of optimization software for a hydrogen plant to create production plans.
  • Scheduling hull cleaning to optimize fuel consumption.
  • Simulating a cargo ship’s energy system with alternative configurations.

Project
Green North Energy

As Green North Energy’s partner, we have continued to the basic planning phase, where the materials of the concept planning phase are refined, based on which it is possible to make an investment decision about the project. As part of this work, we have also been creating an EIA program for the project.
