en.Wedoany.com Reported - Pomini Tenova and Siemens are strengthening their collaboration, focusing on the retrofit and modernization of roll grinders. Pomini Tenova, a brand under Tenova, is a global leader in roll shop equipment and services; Siemens, through its Digital Industries business, holds a leading global position in automation and digitalization.

The two companies have collaborated for over forty years, with nearly 1,000 Pomini Tenova units exclusively equipped with Siemens technology. This new phase of cooperation aims to elevate the technological level of the rolling mill sector to new heights of performance, reliability, and digitalization. Benefits for joint customers include extended equipment lifecycles, safeguarding existing investments, and improving overall operational efficiency.

This enhanced collaboration fully leverages the complementary expertise of both companies. As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Pomini Tenova contributes deep process knowledge and proven technology in roll grinding, inspection, roll shop automation, and digital solutions. Siemens provides advanced control systems based on computer numerical control (CNC), as well as drive and automation technology. This interaction also helps deliver integrated safety and future-proof cybersecurity solutions for machine tools.

The new focus of the collaboration prioritizes the transition to fully automatic machines. By tightly integrating Pomini Tenova's mechanical upgrades and process-specific accessories with Siemens' advanced technology, the partnership lays the foundation for fully automated operation. This is achieved through digital monitoring and diagnostic tools, as well as predictive maintenance.

The collaboration also supports continuous process optimization based on industrial artificial intelligence (Industrial AI) capabilities. Retrofit solutions can increase productivity, reduce downtime, and improve safety standards, while maximizing performance and helping ensure high grinding quality throughout the machine's service life.

Paolo Gaboardi, Executive Vice President of Pomini Tenova, stated: "Strengthening our collaboration with Siemens allows us to offer our customers comprehensive retrofit solutions that go beyond equipment upgrades, moving towards truly AI-driven autonomous operation. By combining Siemens' advanced automation and digital technologies with our specialized roll grinder solutions, we help customers enhance their long-term competitiveness and stand out from the competition."

Sascha Fischer, Vice President of Sales for Machine Tool Business at Siemens, added: "Together with Pomini Tenova, we transform roll grinders by upgrading the CNC core of the machines. At the same time, we combine deep domain expertise with advanced digitalization and future-proof automation technologies, just as we do on new machines, and we also leverage the advantages of Siemens' most comprehensive Digital Twin. This approach enables more autonomous operations and unlocks new value from customers' existing assets."
