DANIELI AUTOMATION provides a complete suite of technological solutions that can be applied on new or existing mills.

Standard hardware and software tools for Process, Operator Workstations and equipment control systems are used. 

The various levels of automation are integrated to cover the production and process control, thus providing a high level of:
 Material setup flexibility to cover the wide range of products
  Consistency in practices and process repeatability
  Real-time information distribution

  Easily expanded to meet future plant requirements.

Fully integrated systems Danieli Automation offer a complete range of services to meet the most comprehensive customer needs.

Process Control Systems

Plate and steckel mill process control automation system allows the retrieval of rolling practices, technological and production data required by calculation models that support process setup and control performing:
 Optimization of the process activity, mill pacing, mill setup calculation and adaptation.
 Mathematical model calculations  such as:
-Reheating furnace model.
-Mill stretch model.
-Roll gap model that calculates roll wear and thermal crown.
-Rolling strategy model.
-Force and torque model.
-“SQ_opt” Squareness optimizer.
-Material temperature model.
-Thermomechanical rolling.

Equipment Control Systems

Plate and steckel mill equipment control automation systems are  based on distributed architecture providing clean separation of application modules and easy maintenance.
PLC units are used for sequence control and interlocking while high performance open and closed loop controls are implemented on HiPAC, a multiprocessor system.

Some of these functions include:
 HGC - Hydraulic Gap and Tilting Control.
 Roll Eccentricity Control.
 AGC - Automatic Gap Control.
 Mill Steering Control.
 Mill Exit Temperature Control.
Coiler Furnace Control.
Downcoiler Control.
 Plate Finishing Equipment  Control (leveller, shears, thermal treatment ...).
