Last week I met over 500 Technologies employees in our global functional fall kickoff event – some through Teams, some face-to-face in Hyvinkää. There is power in coming together! A nice afternoon with great discussions, spanning technology trends and strategy, to department achievements and priorities for the rest of the year. I greatly appreciated the chance to meet our employees and learn more from them during our afterwork session.    The photo is from our Engineering Knowledge Center in Pune, India, where employees gathered in our canteen for the event.    Looking forward to continuing our journey together!   #konecranes #technology #winningtogether

As part of our Investor Relations calendar, this Wednesday I attended the Morgan Stanley Industrial CEOs Unplugged 2024 conference in London, with the newest member in our IR team, Ruusa Vallin. I highly appreciated the chance to discuss Konecranes’ well advancing journey towards our financial targets and the current demand environment with investors. Altogether, it was a great day, and I am delighted with the interest shown in Konecranes and towards our business. #konecranes

Konecranes Hämeenlinna factory in Finland takes the lead in decarbonizing its operations – it is our first unit to receive CarbonNeutral® building certification as the result of their actions. The factory has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by using renewable energy and improving energy efficiency, as well as purchasing carbon credits to compensate the emissions that it cannot eliminate yet. After the initial certification in 2023, the factory further decreased emissions, for example by modernizing the gear factory case hardening process. Since 2019, the emissions reduced by 72 percent, and the work continues as e.g. the majority of the diesel forklifts will get replaced with electric ones. The improvements pay off from health, safety, environmental as well as from a business point of view. We asked from the employees in Hämeenlinna about the actions they have made at the factory.

Innovation that boosts your production! The Konecranes S-series low headroom hoist features synthetic rope for better load handling and less maintenance. So, what makes synthetic rope so innovative? It’s strong and durable—the stable structure reduces the risk of certain rope defects like birdcaging and kinks. It’s easy to handle—the lightweight rope doesn’t fray or produce sharp barbs. There’s no need for lubrication—saving time during maintenance and making operations cleaner. There’s less wear and tear on reeving components—the rope slides easily and doesn’t collect dust that can accelerate wear. How durable is synthetic rope?

How can we join forces to identify material handling solutions of the future? The world faces the challenge of stagnating industrial productivity, increasing need for energy as well as the rise in resource consumption and emissions. Businesses can have a central role in solving this challenge. Konecranes' 5-year program, Zero4, tackles the challenge. It strives to increase industrial productivity by zeroing down four key deficiencies from manufacturing processes: information barriers, GHG emissions, energy, and accidents. The program is set to build an ecosystem of partners, with Konecranes contributing as the expert in material handling solutions for our industry. But development of new solutions is something that we cannot do only ourselves, and this is where we search for partnerships. Partners and co-innovation will bring new competences to the ecosystem, and enable new research and innovation in new areas. What are the areas zero4 wants to impact? Further details found in the article. #konecranes #technology #zero4 #cf

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of participating in the ‘Combient Connect: Fuel for Growth’ panel at KONE, alongside Jonas Albertson, Juuso Laatikainen, and Maria Wasastjerna. Together, we discussed how technology and digital transformation are fueling innovation and sustainable growth.   A powerful example of this is Konecranes’ field service digitalization. Over the years, our field technicians have transitioned from filling paper documents to using a mobile app for documenting crane maintenance. Given that we service thousands of cranes each week, the efficiency gain is remarkable, making technicians mobile and fully digital.   Digitally reviewing service requests, logging findings, tracking safety measures, and more, has not only enhanced our service capability, but also eased technicians’ daily work, brought safety into focus, and more importantly, expedited the service and reporting process, enhancing the customer experience. Today, our customers receive inspection insights directly and can monitor the performance of their equipment through our 24/7 TRUCONNECT remote monitoring service.   Thank you, Combient and KONE, for hosting the event!   #Konecranes #Technology #MovesWhatMatters
