Industry in change \u2013 2026-01-23<\/b><\/p>

From a hundred systems to an ecosystem \u2013 a unique partnership for the properties of the future<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>
Digitalization is no longer a sideline, it is now a strategic core. Together with Kiona and Hems\u00f6, our subsidiary Oaks is running a project that is unique in the industry: to create an open ecosystem where hundreds of different control systems can speak the same language. Through this partnership, we are taking a major step towards sustainability, efficiency and innovation.<\/strong><\/h5>

A common mission<\/b><\/p>

Hems\u00f6, which owns and manages community properties in Sweden, Finland and Germany, has had a clear vision since 2019: digitalization should permeate the entire operation. When Fredrik H\u00f6rnsten was recruited as Chief Digital Officer at Hems\u00f6, the goal was clear \u2013 to build a strategy that makes properties smarter, more energy efficient and better for people.<\/p>

\u201dWe connect smart properties with finance and energy. This gives us the analytical ability to make the right decisions and create a better company.<\/em>\u201d says H\u00f6rnsten.<\/p>

From fragmentation to structure<\/b><\/p>

At the start, reality was fragmented with over a hundred different control systems, their own logins and formats. To create order, a common infrastructure and an open digital platform were built that collects data from all systems \u2013 regardless of supplier.<\/p>

This is where Kiona's platform comes into play Web Port<\/b> a key role, and SI subsidiary Oaks is the strategic partner that quality assures the integration and drives the project forward.<\/p>

\u201dDigitalization is an investment in sustainability and efficiency, but to succeed, hundreds of systems must speak the same language. Through Web Port and an open ecosystem, we make Hems\u00f6's strategy a reality<\/em>\u201d says Robert H\u00e4ggstr\u00f6m, Senior Automation Engineer at Oaks.<\/p>

The focus on digitalization has meant that we have now gained structure and order and have chosen to focus on three areas:<\/p>

  1. The smart property<\/b> \u2013 where heating, ventilation and lighting systems are connected and can be controlled centrally.<\/li>
  2. Digital twins<\/b> \u2013 virtual models that make it possible to simulate operations, plan maintenance and test improvements before they happen in reality.<\/li>
  3. Data warehouse and analysis<\/b> \u2013 a common \u201ddata lake\u201d where all information is collected, structured and becomes the basis for decision-making.<\/li><\/ol>
    \u00a0<\/div>

    \u201dThese three parts are interconnected. We don't see them as separate projects or drainpipes, but as a coherent ecosystem.<\/em>\u201d says H\u00f6rnsten.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The maturity ladder \u2013 the path to AI<\/span><\/p>

    The platform is part of Hems\u00f6's maturity ladder, an internal methodology for digitally enhancing each property:<\/p>

    • Step 1:<\/span>\u00a0Basic digital infrastructure, such as the internet and a highly secure network.<\/li>
    • Step 2:<\/span>\u00a0Digital access to the property, where Web Port plays a central role by communicating with the control system, collecting alarm and operational data and enabling remote control.<\/li>
    • Step 3:<\/span>\u00a0Integration of advanced data models from, for example, Vyer and Sinom, which creates a cross-fertilization of data that can be analyzed on a deeper level.<\/li>
    • Step 4:<\/span>\u00a0AI control in collaboration with Myrspoven, where Web Port is a key component that connects data and enables AI to act effectively.<\/li><\/ul>
      \u00a0<\/div>

      \u201dYou could say it's like an integration bridge to more advanced data warehouses. That's its strength; it has the ability to talk to a diverse group of different systems and make them become one. In addition, the platform is well-liked in the industry \u2013 by our own operations staff and by external vendors, who can manage it.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>

      The future vision<\/b><\/p>

      The next step is to install sensors that measure indoor climate and connect AI to optimize operations based on behavioral data, weather forecasts and energy prices. The goal is ambitious: to reduce costs by at least SEK 50 per square meter by 2030 \u2013 a total of approximately SEK 125 million per year.<\/b><\/p>

      \u201dWe will continue to work smarter, not faster. Digitalization is the key<\/em>\u201d concludes H\u00f6rnsten.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
