With the development of digital and information technologies, the intelligent factory is approaching at a remarkable rate.

• Mechatronic lines with unmanned operations that are fully outfitted with sensors and robotics
• Self-setting, checking, optimizing, and learning features, ultra-flexible operations, consistent and self-certifying product quality
• Interconnection of equipment, process control systems, production planning and management tasks based on POMINI Long Rolling Mills Know How

The transformation fostered by POMINI Long Rolling Mills is based on HORIZON, a full-fledged software platform which includes the core components:

• The Digital Twin: it operates as the container for all plant equipment information, enabling the integration with external software applications through a unified interface.
• The Knowledge Engine (the algorithms designed and built on POMINI Long Rolling Mills Know How): it rules the behavior of the Digital Twin and of its selection processes, so ensuring correct results across HORIZON's apps.
• The Apps: a suite of applications which address the key needs of a modern and efficient rolling mill.
