“ Our mission at Rocsole is to make global industries safer , better , and cleaner ”
MIKA TIENHAARA CEO , ROCSOLE
We are helping customers with ‘ carbonbusting ’, but we also need to ensure our operations can get to a net-zero situation .” Within the company , Tienhaara is also keen on utilising appropriate automation . “ First of all , automation can reduce or entirely remove the need for people to move to and from sites , which is one part of reducing emissions . Automation can improve productivity , be more resourceefficient and reduce waste , leading to reduced emissions .”
However , the global manufacturing industry as a whole stands for about 24 % of anthropogenic GHG emissions – something Tienhaara wants to change .
“ Many manufactured goods at a large scale are required for the electrification and energy transition , like smart chips . But we need to ensure that the manufacturing processes are improved , for instance , with the unique process insights that Rocsole can provide .”
Rocsole uses smart processes to support automated , digitalised and unmanned platform operations , which Tienhaara sees as necessary steps for improved energy efficiency .
“ With Rocsole ’ s unique , actionable insights , we enable process control improvements for harsh and complex conditions ,” he says . “ Deposits , solids , and various oil-water emulsions are making instrumentation malfunction . These situations are also making operations run to failure due to the lack of useful data . We can step in to make process controls more robust and reliable , creating more comprehensive data insights . We generate data with the help of our sensors .”
The data gathering can be done over cloud services and having the connectivity , Rocsole can also do startups and field support remotely . Reducing the transportation of people also reduces the carbon footprint . But Tienhaara knows that there are more ways for manufacturing and industrial automation to become greener . manufacturingdigital . com 71
