Case Study: Moelven achieves faster, data-driven production optimization with Cognite Data Fusion

How Moelven uses Cognite Data Fusion® to optimize process and production

Moelven, an industrial group producing building products and systems for the construction industry, wanted to become a “smart digital sawmill” by improving process efficiency, product value, and energy use. To do that, the company needed to break down siloed data across its sites and make it easier for operators and engineers to access and use industrial data for better decision-making.

Using Cognite Data Fusion®, Cognite helped Moelven consolidate historian, MES, and control system data into an Open Industrial Digital Twin, giving users a single contextualized view of real-time and historical data. The solution enabled faster troubleshooting and AI/ML-supported kiln operations, while delivering measurable speed: 6 weeks to integrate data at one site, 2 weeks to expand to 10 more sites, and 1 month to scale across 11 sites, improving data access, equipment availability, and production optimization.
