The Manufacturing Machine & Drive (MMD) division designs and manufactures hardware and software systems for production lines and industrial machines, developed in collaboration with manufacturers and end-users; provides electrical panels, software and on-site commissioning services by integrating safety functions, using simulation techniques, creating the digital twin of the plant for performance checks and virtual commissioning, guaranteeing performance and minimizing intervention times.
MMD provides its customers:
Organization skills (consolidated project management on large and multi-year projects, such as green fields);
Engineering skills (architecture of the control system, electrical engineering, functional design, software design, machine safety);
Implementation skills (software development and commissioning, drive configuration, construction of electrical panels and installation on the machine);
in the development of the following projects:
New plant / machine;
Revamping of existing plant;
Safety level adjustment;
Digital twin creation for prototypes;
Energy efficiency;
Data collection and IoT;
Service on existing systems.
The areas in which the main experiences have been gained are:
Steel
Electric arc furnace (EAF), Laddle furnace (LF), vacuum treatment (VD)
Fume extraction systems
Plants for the transport and dosage of ferroalloys
Continuous vertical and curved castings
Plants and machines for cutting bars
