Valmet Automotive – more than 20 years of car production with AVEVA MES production platform
AVEVA provides MES, operations, and performance improvements to Valmet Automotive’s manufacturing.
Valmet Automation project in a nutshell:
Valmet Automotive, known for producing premium and electric vehicles, selected AVEVA MES to boost manufacturing performance and efficiency. The MES system integrates automation and production systems, enabling real-time monitoring, order tracking, and equipment efficiency analysis.
Key components include AVEVA System Platform and AVEVA Edge, providing unified operations, data visualization, and faster decision-making. The scalable system improves traceability, links ERP and factory automation, and supports stepwise implementation from basic tracking to advanced production management.
Completed in just three months with help of Klinkmann team, the solution enhances productivity, on-time delivery, and sustainability in Valmet's evolving automotive production.
AVEVA Enhances Valmet Automotive’s Smart Manufacturing
Valmet Automotive, a long-time manufacturer of premium vehicles such as Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, is meeting the growing demand for electric vehicles by enhancing its production performance and efficiency. To support this transition, the company turned to AVEVA’s MES and automation solutions.
Since 2008, AVEVA and Valmet Automotive have partnered to upgrade manufacturing systems with a more integrated, manageable framework. The AVEVA MES platform connects automation devices and production applications, simplifying operations and standardizing processes across facilities. At its core is AVEVA System Platform, which supports real-time data collection, performance tracking, and KPI analysis from equipment level to the entire plant.
Scalability and real-time production reporting adds value
The MES solution enables scalability—from basic functions like work order and material management to advanced capabilities such as inventory control and traceability. Real-time production status is shared with ERP systems for accurate order tracking and improved decision-making.
Each production line uses AVEVA Edge for local supervision and intuitive visual reporting, helping operators quickly respond to issues and improve productivity. The solution was fully implemented in just three months.
Key advantages of project
Key customer benefits include easy integration with existing equipment, streamlined data exchange between factory and ERP systems, and enhanced supply chain visibility via the MES Supply Chain Connector. This integration allows precise tracking of materials and order fulfillment.
As Valmet Automotive shifts toward sustainable mobility, AVEVA ensures their manufacturing stays flexible, responsive, and ready for the future.
As the automobile industry continues its evolution from gasoline-powered combustion engines to more efficient and environmentally friendly designs, AVEVA will power Valmet’s automobile production as it speeds along the great “electric” highway.
