AFV Beltrame S.p.A., a European steel producer with over three million tons annual output, implemented GENESIS32 OPC Web-enabled HMI/SCADA to visualize and control processes at multiple rolling mills and steel plants. The system integrates with existing Allen Bradley PLCs and Microsoft SQL Server, supporting thousands of tags and I/O points. It enables faster internal application development, lower total cost of ownership, and easier adaptation to process or regulatory changes across sites in Italy.
