Data-based adviser to operators of complex processes

A probabilistic advisory tool for operators of complex processes is being developed in the framework of the ProDaCTool international project. The project was motivated by the need to maintain the highest possible quality of the product - metal strip processed on a cold rolling mill - under various conditions. Even though all particular rolling mill controllers are tuned properly, there is a lot of possible settings of manually adjusted parameters which influence the quality of production. When, in addition, the rolling mill processes a variety of material types, it is difficult to find out the causes of potential slight deviations in quality.
