Metsä Fibre and Roima Intelligence have signed a contract regarding the new Rauma sawmill

Member of Metsä Group, Metsä Fibre, is building a new pine sawmill in Rauma, Finland. The value of the investment is approximately EUR 200 million and the planned annual production will be about 750,000 cubic meters of pine sawn timber. In terms of technology and efficiency, the sawmill will be a pioneer in the world. Construction was started in the spring of 2020, and production is set to begin during the third quarter of 2022.

Roima Intelligence is proud to be part of the Rauma sawmill project by delivering a centralized monitor and control (SCADA) system to the new sawmill. The SCADA System enables efficient operation of the sawmill. The SCADA is based on the new AVEVA Intouch OMI technology platform. The platform will enable modern videowalls and mobile applications.

Roima was chosen as Metsä’s partner because of the expertise in similar projects. Also, the knowledge in integrations to other manufacturing systems was highly appreciated”, says Harri Haapaniemi of Metsä Fibre.

“We are very happy to be chosen as Metsä’s partner to deliver the SCADA System to the world’s most modern sawmill. The co-operation with Metsä Fibre will strengthen our position as the leading player in Smart Factory solutions”, says Antti Varis, Director of Planning and MES at Roima.
