In a statement, Danieli said Gerdau issued the final acceptance certificate for a new electrode regulation system for the plant’s ladle furnace. Danieli said commissioning of the Q-REG® system was carried out remotely, and with just one specialist. 

“Just the limited presence of a specialist for a few days has been enough to complete the tuning of the system and to achieve the final acceptance certificate,” Danieli said. “The great cooperation between Gerdau and Danieli Automation teams made a very fast and effective technological upgrade possible, including an automation and hydraulic systems upgrade.”
