The projects involve North American sites, specifically rolling mills in Columbia City (Indiana) and in Jacksonville (Florida).

Indiana's project will maximize the yield and product tracking through a brand-new robotic island for bundle tagging installed at the rolling mill finishing end.
The speciality of this new application, which mounts an ABB floor-mounted robot with Siemens PLC, is the provision of a 6-coloured tags dispenser inside the robotic cell to visually detect special billets.

Jacksonville’s project will be facing Wire Rod line integrations, adding:
• Software engineering (logic modification and reallocation of all safety logic)
• All Wire Rod CPUs QMOS Interfaces
• New line machines on FactoryTalk HMI project and in QMOS interfacing recipes
• HMI modifications to delete dismantled machines and to include new machines on screens, recipes and QMOS.
