Empowering people to perform at their best

Tools and services to understand and optimize operations

With digitalization, the role of humans will evolve more towards supervising and ensuring that different process areas perform well together, and towards managing exceptions.

More and more companies aim to increase the autonomy of their mill or plant operations to gain benefits like improved safety and efficiency, lower costs, and environmental impacts. Digitalization and more autonomous operations also mean that there is less need for human intervention. The role of humans will continue to be important, and it will evolve towards supervising and ensuring that different process areas perform well together, and towards managing exceptions. Operations and maintenance work will become more collaborative in the future as well.

This development sets new requirements to mill of plant staff as more complex tasks need to be handled with fewer people. The amount of information for operators will continue to increase and multiple process areas, production sites or fleets need to be monitored simultaneously. In their new roles, mill or plant staff will utilize data and analytics tools to easily understand and optimize operations.

To support this transition, there are many new technologies, tools and services that help mill or plant personnel handle more complex tasks – and grasp the potential of data-based decision making.
