Rauma sawmill
a steady flow of raw material of the right quality to match the sawmill’s high sawing speed and production volume,” says Arminen. The data flow also benefits the customer The Rauma sawmill will introduce a completely new quality reporting system. It will allow even more detailed analysis of the products that the sawmill has produced, the raw material they were sawn from, and how the different sawing batches differ. “Thanks to this feedback loop, we get a complete picture of the entire production chain,” says Arminen. “With better and more comprehensive product information at our dis- posal, we can continue to improve process performance and consistent quality. In this way, the customer also benefits from the data flow. In the future, data can also be made available to customers by product family through cloud services, for example.” The Rauma sawmill uses many other technical solutions that have al- ready been tried and tested at the company’s other sawmills. However, it is the Rauma sawmill that will define the technical standard in future and its solutions will be replicated at other sites. “And development will certainly not stop here; we are already thinking hard about what we will do at other sawmills after Rauma.”
