Customer case: What Zure has done with Valmet

Valmet Automation responded to customer needs by developing a solution for controlling gas transfers outside the pipe network to improve the visibility of the supply chain. The product needed to be scalable, have top-notch security and excellent data collection capabilities.

Together with Zure, Valmet built the Valmet DNA Integrated Operations platform (DNA IOP) using Microsoft Azure IoT and PaaS capabilities to offer Valmet’s clients better visibility into the transfer processes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and biogas. DNA IOP helps Valmet’s clients save time and effort and it enables fast, automatic, and secure transfer of information between the users of the solution. The SaaS solution improves supply-chain visibility, predictability, and can be implemented on a global scale while offering world-class security.

“We want to serve our automation customers more broadly and be their partners in the market change, participating in their green energy transition. We aim to differentiate ourselves with outstanding digital applications and offer competitive, value-added solutions on top of Valmet DNA DCS system that offer a new level of scalability and user experience to our customers.

We seek growth in the alternative fuels sector and the DNA Integrated Operations solution supports this goal perfectly. The solution encompasses major themes such as digitalization, circular economy, and green energy transformation.  We see interesting growth potential in green hydrogen and PtoX economy. We are taking huge steps in addressing climate issues together with our clients.

The cooperation with Zure has allowed us to learn about cloud technology, efficiently utilizing skilled partners instead of doing all the work ourselves.

DNA IOP is an easily scalable cloud service that is available to our customers as part of our Valmet DNA total offering for the process industry, and we are eager to discuss it further with new clients.”
