The method was tackled with picking line for generating strip steel for the automobile industry. The initial conditions to which the tandem-type mill coupled with picking line executed using the installation is exposed. The installation receives an input in the form of human resources, energy, media, raw materials, semifinished product, etc., which is converted by the installation into output. Since the plant is a hot rolling mill, the output is in the form of hot rolled strips. The different components of the input can be assigned to the factor markets that are relevant to the real installation. The different components of the output can further be assigned to the product markets that are relevant to the real installation.

Method for operating industrial installations

A system () and an associated method for a dynamic management of information data. The information data are in the form of information sources I of a virtual device K, which includes a plurality of virtual subcomponents T. . . Tn. The virtual device K represents a real device (), for instance an industrial facility. A comprehensive overview of the entire system as well as specific views of the subcomponents of the device are achieved in that the virtual subcomponents are embedded as programs and/or data in a networking frame structure. Therein, the virtual subcomponents correspond to technological structures of the real device (). The system has a data processing device () to manage the information data I associated with the virtual device K and to control access to the information data I. Local and/or global addresses are assigned to the virtual device K and its virtual subcomponents T. . . Tn. These addresses allow a user to perform a component-based navigation and a model-based navigation in different views S. . . SN of the system.
