CS Control Software is, indeed, a truly international community in terms of its employees and the projects it delivers, and all of its activities aim at making things work.  The most important aspect is that the company is motivated and does the right things.

CS Control Software has become a strong automation specialist, whose operations rely on expert services and street lighting control systems. The company’s operations include being an expert partner for export companies in projects that require strong automation expertise. A good example is the commissioning of a power plant or training employees to use a control system. Another of its strengths lies in street lighting control systems.

CS Control Software acts as an agent for products by the French company Edelcom, not only in Finland but also in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Baltic countries, Singapore, Thailand and the Middle East. Its starting point and goal in these projects is human, i.e. to ensure that automation serves users in the best possible way. When implementing street lighting control systems, the project is often owned by a government agency or other public authority. In some countries, the company may be dealing with members of parliament or various authorities, for example, and part of its job is to promote energy saving measures.

An Eccentric Leadership

Jarkko Laaksonen, the CEO and Managing Director of CS Control System Oy, possess several years of experience in developing automation solutions for various industries. He is based in Finland and has MS qualification from The University of Salford. He has also worked as a board member for Ficolo Ltd. and CLS Engineering Oy. Jarkko is a respected leader and is known for promoting a healthy work environment for his employees. According to Jarkko, it has always been the company’s intention to operate in a slightly unusual way. When CS Control System was founded in 2006, the basic idea was to create a company that offers its employees flexible ways to work. It means that its experts can work from anywhere in the world and in whatever way they want. If someone only wants to work for a certain period in the year, CS Control Software allows that. Jarkko believes that the freedom and flexibility given to the company’s employees has proven to be a success. He says, “I believe that if employees are given the freedom to choose the most appropriate way for them to do what they are best at, there is no need to watch or control them, no matter where in the world they are.”

Necessity of Freedom and Motivation for Workforce

Jarkko is delighted that CS Control Software has a positive outlook and is continuing to grow steadily. There is worldwide demand for its expertise, and within a year, the company will be establishing a subsidiary in Singapore, for example. This means CS Control Software will have vacancies for new automation experts, people who have the right attitude and who want to be involved in creating something new. The company offers to people great opportunities to work in a way that best suits them. Freedom and motivation go hand in hand, but this also requires its employees to be self-directed and to have an inherent ability to take responsibility. CS Control Software is willing to offer people with the right qualities great jobs in a slightly different work community and work environment.

Serving Industry with Disruptive Tools and Solutions

CS Control Software Oy is serving its customers by tailoring the best possible solutions to their needs by using the best and latest tools.

The available tools to create solutions are providing huge opportunities to improve traditional solutions in several industries. As a simplified example of the current tools in use is its solution to estimate the possible changes in streetlight control.

CS Control Software is collecting huge quantity of data about weather conditions, road conditions, and traffic, where the collection of data is called IoT and data itself is termed as Big Data. The cloud enabled data center helps data perform calculations and data analysis to get the neural network-based solution to learn needed control-path to achieve savings on energy consumption and CO2. The connection to the units on the field is secured by using its own APN. All this summarizes that the company’s application is using IoT, AI, big Data, Data Analysis and Security as well.

Creating Innovative Environment Through Creative Expertise 

CS Control Software is innovative when it´s able to combine existing know-how to new solutions to customers' needs.

The company makes the innovative environment by giving much freedom to its staff and supporting additional education in Universities and schools.

Challenges Ahead of Business Growth   

The biggest challenge CS Control Software has faced is, of course how to finance to build its own products and studies. The company has been using its cash flow for financing together with Bank loans. Another challenge has to find great employees that fit the company’s culture. Everyone does not take responsibility for their work and results if the company is not telling each step how to proceed.

In the times ahead, the industry is growing and the latest innovations from the game and the movie industry are coming to everyday use. CS Control Software believes to become one of the companies bringing the latest innovations to the industry and continue to grow in years to come.
