Pomini Tenova and Siemens strengthen partnership to deliver increasingly advanced roll grinder revamping solutions
Roll grinder from Pomini Tenova equipped with state-of-the-art CNC and automation technology from Siemens based on Sinumerik One
Building on
over four decades of joint projects and nearly 1,000 Pomini Tenova machines
already equipped exclusively with Siemens technologies, the partnership enters
its next phase. It now aims to elevate technological excellence in the rolling
mill sector to a new level of performance, reliability and digitalization. For mutual
customers, the benefits include extended machine lifecycles and safeguarding
existing investments, while enhancing overall operational efficiency.
The enhanced
collaboration leverages the complementary expertise of the two companies. As
the OEM, Pomini Tenova contributes deep process know-how and proven
technologies in roll grinding, inspection, roll shop automation and digital
solutions. Siemens, on the other hand, provides advanced CNC-based control
systems as well as drive and automation technology. This interaction also
contributes to integrated safety and future-proof cybersecurity solutions for
machine tools.
The renewed
focus of the partnership places the transition to fully autonomous machines at
the forefront. By tightly integrating Pomini Tenova’s mechanical upgrades and
process-specific accessories with Siemens’ advanced technologies, the
collaboration sets the basis for fully autonomous operation. This is achieved
through digital monitoring and diagnostic tools as well as predictive
maintenance. It also supports continuous process optimization, leveraging
Industrial AI-based features. Revamping solutions deliver increased
productivity, reduced downtime, and improved safety standards, while maximizing
performance and helping to ensure high grinding quality throughout the entire
machine operating life.
“Strengthening
our collaboration with Siemens allows us to offer customers comprehensive
revamping solutions that go beyond mere equipment upgrades, towards a truly
AI-powered autonomous operation,” said Paolo Gaboardi, executive vice president,
Pomini Tenova. “By integrating Siemens’ advanced automation and digital
technologies with our roll grinder-specific solutions, we help customers
improve long-term competitiveness and enable them to differentiate from the
competition.”
Sascha
Fischer, vice president sales for Machine Tool Business at Siemens, added:
“Together with Pomini Tenova, we transform roll grinders by upgrading the
machine’s CNC core. At the same time, we combine deep domain expertise with
advanced digital and future-proof automation technologies, as we do with new
machines, for which we also take advantage of including Siemens’ most
comprehensive Digital Twin. This approach enables more autonomous operations
and unlocks new value from customers’ existing assets”.
The
partnership underscores both companies’ commitment to driving digitalization,
automation and the transition towards more autonomous and AI-enabled operations.
