Valmet introduces its next-generation automation system, Valmet DNAe, for the marine industry

Valmet, a major supplier of ship automation, introduces the Valmet DNAe Integrated Automation System for the marine industry. Valmet DNAe is a fully web-based marine control system that integrates seamlessly with all onboard equipment, providing ship owners with a unified platform for efficient operations. It is the first web-based automation system to receive the ISASecure SSA Level 1 certification for its built-in cybersecurity approach.
 

“As the maritime industry evolves and ships become increasingly connected, our customers have a growing need to manage and analyze large volumes of data, taking cybersecurity into account. Therefore, in developing this system, we have focused on usability, performance, and cybersecurity, while ensuring efficient, safe, and reliable operations,” says John Weierud, Director, Marine Automation, Automation Systems, Valmet.
 

Designed to support the work of all automation user groups
 

Valmet DNAe is developed with a design philosophy that empowers people to perform and collaborate better. The system provides a common user interface for controls, analytics, configuration, and maintenance. Intuitive workflows and advanced analytics tools enable crew members to manage the system from engine control room to the bridge, with less effort, turning real-time and historical data into actionable insights.
 

A high-performing automation system advancing digitalization
 

Valmet DNAe has been engineered for demanding process control, emphasizing performance and availability. It features a scalable, redundant data platform, granting easy and controlled access to all data. The system architecture is cybersecure by design, with role-based access control, authentication, audit trail, and encryption mechanisms for proactive prevention of cyber threats. With smooth OT/IT (Operational Technology/Information Technology) connectivity through secure communication interfaces with external systems, Valmet DNAe establishes a robust foundation for advancing digitalization in the marine industry.
