A casting-rolling plant and a method of operating a casting-rolling plant are disclosed. At least one slab production line () and at least one mill train () as well as at least one slab feeding device () that is independent of the slab production line () with respect to the production process are provided. In order to achieve a higher throughput in the production of strip material, the slab feeding device () takes over slab feed to the mill train () during a production break of the slab production line () in accordance with logistic and/or manufacturing standards up to a maximum output possible.

Method for operating a casting-rolling plant

In a method for determining the rolling force in a roll stand for rolling metallic material which is to be rolled, the rolling force is determined by means of at least one neural network. According to the invention, the neural network is trained using, in particular measured, values for the rolling force under different operating conditions with a view to improving the determination of the rolling force. The neural network is advantageously trained using values for the rolling force and values for the different operating conditions for roll stands of different rolling trains.

Method and device for determining the rolling force in a roll stand

The invention relates to a method for pre-calculating the parameters of industrial processes. According to said method, an admissible process input variable vector is determined with definition ranges allocated to each variable and a process output variable vector is determined with the pre-calculable process parameters. Known information on the process is stored in a data bank and ranges of validity for the process input variables are allocated to said information. For each process input vector inputted from an admissible definition range provided with valid information, exactly one process output vector is determined according to the information valid therefor.
