Supervisory Controls and Mathematical Models

Production management and optimization are carried out by the higher level automation system (level 2).

Converteam solution is based on a Single or Dual Server configuration and software designed to meet customers’ requirements, such as:

• Interface to the plant system
• Product data management and tracking
• Set-up calculation
• Production and quality reports.

In particular, Converteam provides advanced mathematical models for hot and cold rolling and is an industry leader in the development and application of on-line set-up systems.

Accurate models allow the supervisory system to optimize the reduction process to reduce production times and increase product quality.

To optimize the performances, an adaptive learning function allows the basic models to be adjusted automatically for variations of material and mill behavior.
