Projects for Valmet Corporation

Software development for Valmet (until 2015 - Metso) has been made by ASC since 2003 by the following units, the total staff of which currently exceeds 30 people:

• Device Type Manager (DTM)
• Business Process Automation (BPA)
• Control systems development
• Information systems development
• Engineering tools development
• Mineral automation solutions

All projects are implemented by joint teams of developers and managers of Valmet and PetrSU. The project contents as a rule is strictly confidential. Therefore, below are descriptions of only several projects.

Some of the implemented projects:

• Custom distributed software systems based on Microsoft.NET technology,
• Generalized reporting system:

  Universal reporting environment is designed for enterprises and offices with different information systems working with different data sets and requiring just-in-time reports in easy-to-read and easy-to-print form. The reporting environment provides a toolkit for quick report templates design and connection of those templates to existing data sources. The system has centralized storage for report templates, as well as for reports themselves. The system is implemented as distributed, multi-user environment with remote access features (using Web-browser or Windows application).

• Development and enhancement of tools for generation of function blocks and control loops in the metsoDNA process control system.

  Important aspects of software development are -- configuration simplicity, multiple language user interface support, support of windows and web-interfaces, user rights management and so on. To simplify and unify the process of software development, a Framework was developed as a set of applications and libraries, embeddable into Microsoft Visual Studio Application Development Environment.

• Tools for automating the development of distributed software systems
• ASP.NET Web applications (working with MS SQL Server, popular reporting tools and all major browsers)
