CEMIS - Your reliable partner for RDI in cleantech, bioeconomy, and sports, wellbeing and healthcare
CEMIS – Centre for Measurement and Information Systems, was founded in 2010 in Kajaani and Sotkamo, Finland. CEMIS’s mission is to produce top class experts, new technology and new business for companies developing and using measurement and information systems by offering research and development services and university education in an innovative and international environment.
CEMIS is a contract based research and education centre of University of Oulu, University of Jyväskylä, Technical Research Centre of Finland VTT, CSC – IT Centre for Science and Kajaani University of Applied Sciences. The centre’s focus is to develop measurement and information technology solutions for cleantech and bioeconomy, and for sports, wellbeing and healthcare. The centre also supports the development of new international business based on its innovations and expertise with partner companies.
In cleantech and bioeconomy, CEMIS has a strong expertise in on-line measurements for process and mining industry. The offering in this area include environmental monitoring and water treatment solutions, analysis of metal concentrations in industrial wastewater, process analyser development (like for bioethanol production), and recycling and repurposing of industrial sidestreams. In bioeconomy CEMIS works also with natural raw ingredients, like berries, for food supplements and food industry.
In sports, wellbeing and healthcare CEMIS offers measurement and testing solutions with the latest sensor technology, and simulation solutions based on 3D, and virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technology. Examples of these include advanced sensors for sports equipment (like for Nordic ski and biathlon), non-invasive biosensors for the healthcare sector, and solutions for recognising symptoms related to ocular diseases.
In addition to the previous main sectors, CEMIS offers traceability and calibration services for force, torque, large masses and water flow, and education and expertise in data engineering and data analytics. High-Performance Computing (HPC) services and capacity will be offered in 2021 when one of the most competitive supercomputers in the world, LUMI EuroHPC, is taken into use in Kajaani.
