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 method and apparatus for using a neural network to control a paper or paper board production machine. By using spectrum measuring devices, the characteristics of the starting materials for the paper and board production and/or their intermediate or final products are registered and the values fed to a neural network. The network provides statements concerning the paper and board quality, from which signals for the feedback and/or feedforward control of the production process may be derived.
