The energy chain information can now be managed in real-time. Information that has been entered once will now serve the whole energy chain. The contracting parties' biomass and energy production IT systems will complement each other and allow easy and real-time management of the energy chain information – from tree plant to ashes and back to the forest in a controlled manner.

MHG Systems brings to the table its knowhow on the first part of the energy chain, i.e. managing biomass related field work and producing map and mobile services. Protacon completes the concept by offering energy companies, terminals, fuel suppliers, carriers, contractors, laboratories and authorities with tools to manage fuel related information. This joint service concept and modern technology will provide new best policies that will improve their customers' business operations.

The solution will promote even more environmentally-friendly energy production and it will also lead the way in decreasing the carbon footprint and improving the traceability of biofuel chains. The total carbon footprint can now be retrieved from a single system. According to international trends, the traceability of biofuels will soon apply to all energy production.

"MHG Systems' core competence lies in its in-depth experience on business models used in the international bioenergy and forest industries. The cooperation with MHG Systems will provide us with new distribution channels – especially to international markets", says the CTO of Protacon Ltd, Vesa Talvela.

"Protacon's expertise on optimising energy plant processes and supplying automation systems allows us to create a unique business model – to sell proven end-to-end solution to power plants and biofuel suppliers on a global scale", explains the Managing Director of MHG Systems, Seppo Huurinainen.

ISRA PARSYTEC – the world's leading supplier of surface and web inspection systems for strip products – received a purchase order by the stainless steel manufacturer for a surface inspection system at their Annealing Pickling (APF) line as well as a full license for the Quality Yield Management software.

The Thai stainless steel producer ThaiNox Stainless PLC, Thailand's only manufacturer and distributor of premium cold-rolled stainless steel sheets and coils and largest manufacturer in ASEAN, chose to equip his cold annealing-pickling line at their production site in Rayong with the state-of-the-art inspection system espresso SI. Not only the lean hardware convinced ThaiNox, but more importantly the user-friendly setup and operator software, which enables achieving valuable production benefits on the market shortly after installation.

In order to emphasize the production use, ThaiNox decided to purchase a full parsytec 5i license and to integrate the application 'Coil Decision' in their daily operating cycles. The application is standardized software using database rules for automatic and interactive coil decisions, including any 3rd party gauge data.

ThaiNox' decision for ISRA PARSYTEC was mainly based on the supplier's impressive customer references in the stainless industry such as North American Stainless, ThyssenKrupp Stainless or Acerinox, who emphasize the combined benefit of surface inspection and parsytec 5i. This solution helps the producers to gain significantly higher yields by improving the production quality and by accelerating reliable coil decisions.

The main benefit for ThaiNox? – The preservation of their reputation as being solid-based on outstanding performances and having strong commitments to excellence and customer satisfaction.

The ISRA VISION PARSYTEC AG is the world's largest vendor of surface inspection systems: Today, all of the top 10 steel producers and 15 of the top 20 paper producers employ its products.
