The article discusses the problems of wear of the feeding machine rollers associated with speed mismatch in the material tracking mode. Existing methods of dealing with wear and tear struggle with the effect of the problem not the cause. One of the ways to reduce the intensity of wear of roller barrels is to develop a method of controlling the speed of the feeding machin, which reduces the mismatch between the speeds of rollers and rolled products without violating the known technological requirements for creating pulling and braking forces. Disclosed is an algorithm for calculating speed adjustment based on metal tension which compensates for roller wear and reduces friction force. Modeling of the system with the developed algorithm showed the elimination of speed mismatch during material tracking and therefore it will reduce the intensity of roller wear.

The article considers the method for parametric identification of a model of steady-state modes of a technological process. The method essence is to use artificial neural networks. The input of each neural network is measured values of input and output process variables, and the output is a corresponding parameter value of the technological process model. The effectiveness of the method was assessed by conducting computational experiments on regression models with two factors and models of steady-state modes of technological processes in existing industries. The average relative error of the models does not exceed 0,43%. The method for parametric identification is applicable in adaptive control of steady-state modes of the technological process. One of advantages of the method is that with a specified form of mathematical description, training a neural network does not require statistical experimental values of process variables.

During the production of delicatessen canned fish, the control system should ensure a gentle heat treatment regime with a decrease in the degree of temperature exposure to the product. Changing the modes requires reconfiguration of the type and parameters of temperature regulators in the autoclave, carried out based on the results of processing modeling. The software complex for modeling the object and control system during pasteurization provides for calculating the degree of sterilizing effect. The complex contains system and application softwares. The application modules implement the functions of a graphical interface, a virtual controller, numerical simulation of product temperature changes and data transmission. The virtual controller allows select controllers: positional, proportional-integral-differential, and states. The novelty of the model lies in the display and the possibility of changing both the parameters of the regulator and the coefficients of the desired polynomial, taking into account the sign of the derivative of temperature during heating and cooling. The practical value of the work is to reduce the time for reconfiguring the autoclave control system, ensuring a reduction in the degree of temperature exposure when a given sterilizing effect is achieved by selecting the type and parameters of temperature control rules.

Since 2017, EVRAZ ZSMK JSC has been developing and operating a mathematical model covering all processing stages from ore extraction to final products – SMM Forecast. The model will be used to calculate technical cases, plans, and parity prices for iron ore and coal, and its use brought more than 200 million rubles of economic effect in 2020 alone. The use of a universal mathematical model made it possible in 2023 to begin the development of a module for daily optimization of an agglomeration factory and blast furnace production. The article discusses the experience of EVRAZ ZSMK JSC in the development and implementation of a daily planning system based on the monthly planning model of SMM Forecast, as well as methods for achieving an acceptable speed of multi-period optimization. The SMM Forecast system was originally designed for end-to-end, scenario-based calculation of the main raw materials from ore and coal to finished products in a volumetric monthly planning. The system uses optimization algorithms to search for a global target function to maximize margin income under specified constraints. The mathematical model of redistribution uses the norms and technologies specified in the company's regulatory documents. At the same time, the model is universal and the transfer of algorithms from monthly to daily mode was carried out with minimal modifications. The article also discusses the difficulties encountered and various methods of solving these problems. The first problem faced by the developers was the low speed of optimization of the model in daily dynamics due to the strong complication of the optimization load. The calculation time has increased significantly, and to solve this problem, it took the introduction of a number of optimization cycles aimed at reducing the speed of solving equations, introducing variable boundaries, and determining starting points. As a result, the calculation time for one month was about 40 minutes. The second problem was the need to develop a complex supply management algorithm and optimize stacking at the sinter plant. As a result of solving this problem, a working tool has been developed that brings additional income to the enterprise.
