Valmet will deliver Valmet DNA Integrated Operations to Kemira Chemicals’ Äetsä plant in Sastamala, Finland. The target is to increase usage efficiency through automation. 

 

The order was included in Valmet’s orders received of the fourth quarter 2021. The value of the order will not be disclosed. The solution is planned to be integrated in the second quarter of 2022.  

 

"Ordering and scheduling function of the Valmet DNA Integrated Operations will increase the efficiency of our truck loading and unloading operations as logistics companies will know their exact timeslot for loading and unloading. In addition, communications will be easier as up-to-date information on truck loading and unloading schedules is automatically shared between all parties", says Jaakko Rautalahti, Site Manager at Kemira Chemicals Äetsä.

 

“I am happy that Kemira Chemicals selected Valmet DNA Integrated Operations to complement their already existing Valmet DNA automation solution. It will help Kemira Chemicals to serve its customers even better", says Mikko Haapaniemi, Product Manager, Process Industry Automation, Valmet.

 

With the implementation of Valmet DNA Integrated Operations, Kemira Chemicals will have an automated scheduling system, verification process of orders, visualization of incoming and outgoing loads, as well as reporting, analytical data, and high security measures to increase efficiency of the loading bays for both Kemira Chemicals and the logistics companies.
