Danieli Automation CMC Poland Partnership Modernizes Zawiercie Rolling Mill
Danieli Automation will supply new hardware and software to upgrade CMC Poland’s rolling mill in 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, Danieli Automation will install new low-voltage inverter drives in the roughing and intermediate sections of the mill. These upgrades will improve machine control, increase operational stability, and simplify maintenance across the plant’s systems.
The revamp also targets the reheating furnace that processes billets from CMC’s 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 full Level 1 automation system upgrade for better real-time process management. Danieli will additionally provide a new process control system to automatically set and monitor the furnace heating curves, ensuring efficiency and accuracy at every stage.
The upgrade, scheduled for completion by the end of 2026, will allow the mill to achieve higher reliability and longer-term performance benefits.
Strengthening CMC Poland’s Steel Production
The Zawiercie mill currently produces more than 500,000 metric tons per year of steel bars and wire rod. Its products serve multiple industries, including construction, agriculture, energy, machinery, and consumer goods. Output includes wire rod, ribbed and plain wire in coils, and welded mesh for concrete reinforcement.
CMC Poland operates as part of Commercial Metals Company (CMC), a global steel and metal manufacturer with operations across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. CMC also runs a major wire rod mill in Jacksonville, Florida, supporting its international production network.
