A year ago, Elvera Oy and the PlantSys ecosystem started working together, and it’s already paid off. Three different facilities are now operated from the central control room in Savonlinna, Finland, using PlantSys, and the system has become a key part of Elvera’s remote monitoring solution.
“The PlantSys solution is in production at our central control room in Savonlinna, and it is operating reliably. A similar visual view of different facilities streamlines operations. We have a strong technical and operational base on which to build and further develop our services. The PlantSys solution enables the customer base to be expanded to other areas besides heating plants. Examples of this could be municipal engineering clean water and wastewater systems, where there is great potential for central monitoring,” summarises Antti Niiranen, Power Plant Foreman at Elvera.

Clear benefits already, and more to come
PlantSys has been a strategic tool for Elvera in developing centralised monitoring. The system has already made it easier to control the plants and has brought efficiency to the use of resources.
In the future, the goal is to bring even more added value to customers, particularly through reporting and real-time condition monitoring. These features enable predictive maintenance, uninterrupted production, and transparent reporting, all of which reduce unexpected costs and support energy efficiency.
“We have worked together to build a solution that is more than just a monitoring system. The goal is that reporting and automatic condition monitoring will generate continuous added value for customers: predictability, reliability, and efficiency,” says Laura Leskinen, Business Director, PlantSys.
A satisfied business partner creates a strong foundation for future growth
From both Elvera’s and PlantSys’s perspective, the collaboration has been smooth, productive, and beneficial for both parties.
“With PlantSys, we can offer our customers a modern and cost-effective service. We have been extremely satisfied with both the system’s performance and our collaboration with the PlantSys team. The support service is flexible, and we continue to develop the system in regular follow-up meetings. They haven’t forgotten us after the sale” Antti laughs.
“Cooperation with Elvera has been going well throughout the year, with a positive atmosphere and a clear focus on goals. We have both learned a lot from each other. Elvera’s practical experience and our technological expertise complement each other perfectly. It is inspiring to be able to continue our development work together and build solutions for the future on an even broader scale,” Laura says happily.
Now that the foundation is in place, the focus is on growth. In addition to municipal energy companies, PlantSys’ scalability also offers excellent opportunities for monitoring and optimizing industrial processes, especially where real-time data and intelligent analytics can bring great value to operational development and competitiveness.
