MHG Bioenergy ERP-service predicts moisture-value, energy content and value of biomaterial storages. Example of biomaterial storage's moisture-value in different times.

MHG-Systems Ltd  have introduced a new intelligent predicting tool today at FinnMETKO-exhibition. With the predicting algorithm entrepreneurs working in bioenergy business can significantly enhance their operations. Hundreds of thousands of euro can be saved with the correct timing of chipping and transporting the bioenergy storages.

The first generation of predicting models which were introduced at FinnMETKO 2010 – exhibition, has already been implemented as a part of MHG Systems’ Bioenergy-ERP-system. Entrepreneurs working in Beanery business are now able to use a tool with new technology. Thanks to the tool, it’s now more precise to control procurement chain, tells Seppo Huurinainen, Managing  Director of MHG Systems. The predicting models have been developed together with the Finnish Forest Research Institute and University of Eastern Finland.

The system tells the storage’s current moisture-value, and predicts the future moisture-value for 6 months apart. It is crucial to handle hauling, chipping, and transporting at the right time, to be able to compete in constantly tightening bioenergy market. The moisture-value of the storages varies for example  by storage’s age, quality, and time of the year. Chipping, transporting and usage can be optimized in the most efficient way by predicting the time when a bioenergy storage is the most driest. The most effective energy production is achieved at the same time. Carbon dioxide emissions are also minimized.

MHG Systems offers it’s Bioenergy ERP-service world-wide, for companies working in the bioenergy field. To make it easier to initialize the use of real-time moisture monitoring, MHG Systems has prepared a comprehensive Starter Package for its customers. This includes the Bioenergy ERP Service, MHG Mobile-software and Nokia E72-smart-phone designed for serious  working conditions.

MHG Mobile -software enables realtime measurement of biomasses with various moisture-meters.

The development of predicting models continues, and getting more accurate results requires test usage of the models and adapting them to different working environments. The development is a part of EU-funded METKA- and METSÄENERGIA projects.
