Microsoft Intelligent Manufacturing Award to Danieli Automation

Danieli Automation Q3-Premium Quality Management solution wins the “MIMA Award 2023” in the “Innovate!” category


Organized by Microsoft Germany with management consultancy firm Roland Berger and presented annually in Hannover, the Microsoft Intelligent Manufacturing Award -MIMA is often referred to as the “Oscar for the manufacturing industry”.

This year the MIMA winner for the “Innovate!” category was Danieli Automation DIGI&MET, together with its technological partner BeanTech, for the pioneering digital quality management solution, Q3-Premium.

The Q3-Premium solution is a modular and highly scalable suite of software applications designed to meet the increasing requirements of steel production by building a powerful quality-management system aimed at production optimization and final product-quality improvement.

Based on state-of-the-art industrial IoT, advanced analytics and AI technologies and methodologies, Q3-Premium improves the conformity rate, reduces overall waste, consumption, and CO2 emissions.

As of today, two Q3-Premium solutions are being implemented in steelmaking and long-product rolling facilities at ABS and Scaw Metals, and two more are under development for flat products at the Nucor Steel West Virginia QSP-DUE plant and in a cold-mill complex in Italy.
