Exens Development Oy executed a study for service and maintenance of the steel industry during 2017-2018. Integrating new technologies and combining them with the existing competencies allowed us to develop and test a demonstrative measurement system. The results of the study were in line with the goals we set for the study. The results also encourage us to consider commercialization of the innovation.
