Level 2 and cooling model for plate and steckel mill
Improved model adaptation performance using a single efficiency curve, leading to simpler addition of new grades and improved accuracy when changing between products
New adaptation function for oscillation cooling mode, improving cooling accuracy for thick plates, e.g. for offshore wind power applications
Adjustable ratio of high-density (DQ) flow to medium-density (ACC) flow between banks, allowing for targeted cooling rates in different sections of the machine for the production of advanced high-strength steels
Improved feedforward control and performance, eliminating even large temperature variations in the plate/strip, including steckel rolled products
Improved temperature uniformity and material yield
New Level 2 web-based tuning and reporting interface and tools, accelerating the introduction of new products
