Vatajankoski's full live network optimisation with Gradyent's Digital Twin

Vatajankoski, a Finnish new energy company, faced the challenge of reducing heat losses, energy costs, and CO2 emissions from its district heating network. To achieve its ambitious goals, it needed a solution for real-time network overview and operational excellence that surpassed traditional tools. The company partnered with vendor Gradyent to utilize its Digital Twin Platform.

Gradyent's solution provided Vatajankoski with real-time insights and optimization of its network operations. The results included enhanced visibility, the ability to simulate future scenarios for investment planning, and a calculated 43% reduction in operating costs from new heat sources. Following a successful two-year collaboration, Vatajankoski signed a six-year contract with Gradyent to continue optimizing its heating network.
