Advanced transition manager to the profit of line productivity and strip quality

A. Lhoest and K.-G. Butzbach


Published online: 6 June 2009

Abstract
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 mathematical model, coupled with an advanced transition management has been designed to synchronously control the furnace equipments as well as the line speed. It allows process reaction forecast on the current and coming strips through deep thermal modelling and it generates the optimal routes for driving the transitions.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
