The constraints of CAL are spread over narrow heat cycles,sensitive strip formats, recurrent product size changes,flexible lines and productivity. An up-to-date mathematicalmodel, coupled with an advanced transition managementhas been designed to synchronously control the furnaceequipments as well as the line speed. It allows processreaction forecast on the current and coming strips throughdeep thermal modelling and it generates the optimal routesfor driving the transitions.
