Abstract

The Danieli Group is deeply involved in the technological improvements stimulated by Industry 4.0 concepts widely applied to the metals industry and process automation. The so-called "Intelligent Mill" is the natural evolution of the company’s consolidated know-how and undisputed leadership in the fields of mini-mill and turnkey plants. Complete and structured data collection is the basis for real-time analysis and process optimization in terms of quality, efficiency and easy maintenance. A centralized repository of information is possible thanks to the strong interconnection between process control system architecture and intelligent sensors, together with dedicated software tools leading to an intuitive approach to data analytics.
