L2 Self Learning Process System
The MINO state-of-the-art model-based system is designed to reduce scheduling, process adjustment and continual tuning to process operations.
A MINO Level 2 model based set up system will transform your rolling mill operations.
Level 2 model based rolling control automates setup reference generation, encompassing crucial factors like thickness, roll gap positions, roll force, rolling speed, and schedule-dependent gains.
Our system harnesses precise, physics-based rolling process models, autonomously crafting pass schedules from primary data.
These models continually enhance their precision through adaptive self-learning algorithms, integrating real-time feedback from plant signals and sensors.
We employ advanced mathematical and material-based models to consider material properties, stand geometry, thermal crown, roll flattening, strip temperature, and roll wear.
Within the Automation Level 2 system, our Self Learning suite seamlessly interfaces with mill automation and sensor data, ensuring real-time model optimization.
The result is consistently accurate pass schedules for a bench mark, best practice rolling process.
Take your rolling mill operations to the next level with our innovative Level 2 solutions.
