The aim of the Heavy Metal Online Spectroscopy in Satakunta (ROSS) project is to develop a new, real-time online monitoring system for heavy metal emissions, which will enable accurate and continuous measurement of heavy metal emissions in industrial processes. This will improve emission management and help industry adapt to stricter environmental requirements. Current methods for measuring heavy metal emissions are often time delayed and require manual handling, which does not allow for a rapid response to different situations. The ROSS project will provide a new technological solution using optical emission spectroscopy and AI-based analytics. The main objective of the project is to develop a system that can efficiently monitor industrial emissions of heavy metals. In particular, the system will improve industry's ability to monitor its environmental impact and reduce emissions through real-time data. This will allow both a faster response to potential deviations and continuous improvement in process management. The ROSS project will use advanced spectroscopic methods and artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy of measurements and provide faster results. The project targets industrial companies in Satakunta, in particular those active in the processing and recycling of metals. The target group also includes research institutes such as SAMK and its RoboAI and Wander research centres, as well as environmental authorities. The project will result in a new technological solution that will remain available to industry after the end of the project. The introduction of a real-time measurement system will significantly improve the competitiveness of companies by enabling more responsible and environmentally friendly production. In addition, the continuous development and maintenance of the system will create new business opportunities and support the growth of skills and employment in the region. In terms of its impact, the ROSS project will contribute significantly to the objectives of sustainable development and the green industrial transition, which is a key element of the EU's regional and structural policy agenda. The resulting technologies and business models can be widely deployed in different industrial sectors and geographical areas, thus contributing to more environmentally friendly industrial production also outside Satakunta. The ROSS project is linked to the Satakunta JTF program by strengthening the environmental friendliness and sustainability objectives of industry, especially in the management of heavy metal emissions. The project will also make use of Satakunta smart specialization clusters - such as the metal technology and automation and robotics clusters - by integrating them with the needs of the Blue Economy, in particular to improve water quality. The long-term effects of ROSS will be reflected not only in improved environmental conditions, but also in new industrial practices and innovations that support responsible growth and competitiveness.
