Danieli Automation to upgrade processing lines at MMK

Russian PJSC Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works contracted Danieli Automation for the automation upgrade of processing lines in operation in Magnitogorsk, in the Chelyabinsk Region of the Russian Federation. The galvanizing line was supplied by Danieli in 2007.

The job consists of implementing new process control systems based on virtualized servers and new HMI application, and the new Ethernet network infrastructure for galvanizing, cut-to-length and color coating lines.

Hardware and software will be substituted with modern solutions in order to improve reliability of the process control systems and to ease maintainability.

Advisory services for erection and commissioning will be partially executed during plant production to reduce the remaining activities during plant shutdown.

A similar job is being executed by Danieli Automation on MMK rolling mills.
