About Valmet DNA Automation System

Valmet DNA Automation System is a comprehensive distributed control system (DCS) engineered for complex, mission-critical manufacturing environments. It consolidates process automation, real-time monitoring, and quality management into a unified platform, enabling manufacturers across pharmaceuticals, paper & pulp, energy, and chemical industries to optimize operational efficiency and product quality. The system delivers deterministic control, advanced diagnostics, and scalable architecture supporting thousands of I/O points. Valmet DNA provides modular design allowing phased implementation and customization for specific industry requirements. When deployed through AiDOOS, organizations benefit from streamlined system integration, expert governance frameworks, and accelerated deployment timelines. The marketplace approach enhances accessibility to implementation expertise, reduces time-to-value, and provides flexible engagement models for both greenfield projects and legacy system upgrades, ensuring seamless process automation across diverse manufacturing landscapes.
