Abstract
The paper covers main design principles and description of optimization algorithms for cutting steel at continuous casting plant. The aim is to produce maximum amount of customer bars from liquid steel. The static cutting plan from production planning is dynamically updated taking into account unexpected deviations in steel quality. The optimizing problem type is mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP).
