Spinnova’s
vision is to scale the production of sustainable fibers globally right where
they are needed.
With a digital-first mindset, the company combines the real and digital worlds with digital tools and a harmonized automation system from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to design and optimize its product and production processes, offering fiber producing technology that has a low carbon footprint and hardly uses any water.
Data is key, and Siemens technology such as Industrial Edge enables Spinnova to converge IT and OT data to track KPIs like energy consumption in near real-time and make them transparent to customers and partners.
Portfolio: Digital Twin and Industrial Cybersecurity The Digital Twin portfolio helped Spinnova in accelerating their transition from a virtual to real plant, by, for example, training the operators before the line was built. The Industrial Cybersecurity portfolio helped Spinnova to protect it's own uniqe portfolio and intellectual property, as well as the data and the production process itself.
Products:

Our mission is to change the raw material base of the textile industry. We want to go big!
Tuomas Oijala, Chief Executive Officer Spinnova
Key benefits of the partnership:
Global scalability: Spinnova’s vision is to scale the production of sustainable fibers globally right where they are needed. With the help of Siemens’ global network, know-how and technology that combines the real and digital worlds, Spinnova is ready to fundamentally change the footprint of the textile industry.
Faster time to market: The factory is simulated using a Digital Twin that includes all lines, machines, production areas, recipe information and material flows. These simulations include what if-scenarios, optimizations and bottleneck discovery to shorten the time needed to commission the factory and train operators before production started.
Consistent quality: Spinnova uses a Digital Twin of the product to research, design, optimize and align the final product formulations. This ensures consistent quality from raw material to the refining, mixing, spinning, drying and winding process all the way to the finished fiber that can be woven into other natural materials for clothing or outdoor gear.
Increase machine uptime and minimize errors: By converging information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT), Spinnova can collect, process and analyze operational data in real-time. Data-driven decisions from this convergence allow Spinnova to optimize the energy efficiency of the machine line, minimize production errors and increase machine uptime.
"Siemens has helped us to develop the SPINNOVA® fiber process faster and reduce the time to market. They are able to scale as we scale our production from R&D to piloting and to production.", Sanna Haavisto, Information Solutions Manager Spinnova
