Future-Proofing Heat Treatment in Heavy Industry: A Finnish Manufacturer Chooses QMULUS

In the heart of Tampere, Finland, a globally recognized manufacturer specializing in maritime propulsion, energy production, specialty vehicles, and rail transportation has taken a significant step toward digital modernization. With eight advanced heat treatment assets at the core of their operations, this industry leader is preparing for a seamless transition from legacy automation to a powerful, cloud-based solution: QMULUS.ai.

Moving Beyond Legacy with Purpose

For years, the manufacturer relied on the PROTHERM 9800 (PT9800) system to manage and monitor its heat treatment processes. While effective in its time, the system’s pending end-of-life (EOL) status prompted the company to evaluate next-generation alternatives that could safeguard production continuity and enhance data integration across their operations.

Their answer? QMULUS.ai— premium AI and ML empowered platform designed to bring real-time visibility, operational intelligence, and long-term scalability to any heat treatment environment.

A Strategic Leap Forward

Rather than making incremental upgrades, the manufacturer made a bold decision to invest in a multi-year SaaS agreement with QMULUS.ai. The goal was clear: to replace outdated infrastructure with a secure, flexible, and future-ready platform capable of supporting both current needs and tomorrow’s innovations.

This move represents a broader digital transformation strategy that prioritizes:

  • Data centralization across all connected furnaces

  • Cloud-first infrastructure for long-term scalability

  • Cybersecure architecture built to meet modern IT standards

  • High asset compatibility, capable of integrating eight complex installations without custom workarounds

Why QMULUS?

Several factors led to the selection of QMULUS.ai:

  • Urgency to replace PT9800 before its end-of-life sunset

  • Desire for vendor continuity while leveraging a proven next-gen alternative

  • Confidence in the cloud-first architecture that scales with operational complexity

  • Readiness to unify machine data under a single intelligent dashboard

Looking Ahead

Although the project is in its early phases, this Finnish manufacturer has already demonstrated that leadership means preparing for tomorrow—today. With QMULUS.ai, they’ve selected a trusted partner for their digital journey, ensuring their operations remain resilient, intelligent, and ready for the next decade of innovation.
