Case Study: Moelven optimizes production and equipment availability with Cognite Data Fusion

Moelven optimizes process and production with Cognite Data Fusion®

Moelven, one of the largest Scandinavian wood processing companies, needed a better way to access and use operational data across sawmills and production units. Working with Cognite and its Cognite Data Fusion® platform, the company set out to break down data silos, improve equipment availability, and support more efficient kiln operation and production.

Cognite Data Fusion® helped Moelven build an Open Industrial Digital Twin and quickly contextualize data from multiple sources. In just 6 weeks, Moelven integrated relevant production data at one site, expanded to 10 more sites in 2 weeks, and scaled data-driven solutions across 11 sites within a month. The results included faster everyday decision-making, time savings from using one system instead of multiple screens, and strong financial impact, including a reported 465% ROI and $29.4M in total benefits over three years, with gains from production optimization, staff efficiency, and reduced unplanned downtime.
