Danieli Automation CMC Poland Partnership Modernizes Zawiercie Rolling Mill
Danieli Automationย will supply new hardware and software to upgradeย CMC Polandโsย rolling mill inย Zawiercie, Poland. The modernization will optimize rolling performance, reduce downtime, and enhance overall plant efficiency through advanced automation technologies.
Improving Efficiency Through the Danieli Automation CMC Poland Upgrade
As part of the project,ย Danieli Automationย will installย new low-voltage inverter drivesย in the roughing and intermediate sections of the mill. These upgrades will improve machine control, increase operational stability, and simplify maintenance across the plantโs systems.
The revamp also targets the reheating furnace that processes billets from CMCโs meltshop. By installing modern hardware and software, Danieli will precisely control billet heating to ensure consistent rolling temperatures and improved product quality.
Enhanced Automation and Process Control
The project includes a fullย Level 1 automation system upgradeย for better real-time process management. Danieli will additionally provide aย new process control systemย to automatically set and monitor the furnace heating curves, ensuring efficiency and accuracy at every stage.
The upgrade, scheduled for completion by theย end of 2026, will allow the mill to achieve higher reliability and longer-term performance benefits.
