Welcome to the Finnish Society of Automation!

The activities of the society include everything within automation, including research, planning, manufacturing, marketing, and maintenance. An important goal is to maintain and support the appreciation of automation. Contacts with domestic and foreign organizations and actors are important for maintenance of one’s competence, and the society supports that. The Society of Automation provides a unique environment for development and interaction for all actors in the field of automation.

The society is run by its board, which is elected by the members in a fall meeting.

Sections, the meeting place for experts — something for every member!

The society acts mainly through its sections and committees: experts meet and share knowledge for the wellbeing of the automation community. At the moment, the society has the following sections and committees: Energy, computer vision, manufacturing, building automation, simulation, security, maintenance, OPC, BACnet, education, technology, internationalization & IMEKO.

More information about the sections and committees' activities, goals, events, contacts etc is found under Sections and committees (in Finnish).
