Abstract:
This paper considers an application of a model integration module to the cutting slabs problem in a continuous casting machine. The model integration module is a part of the modeling subsystem of the metallurgical enterprise information system being developed. Developed information system is intended to decide the topical production problem: analysis and improvement the technological, logistical and organizational processes. This paper focuses on the interaction of the system modules and dives into the principles that the integration module is based on. Also, the development of a simulation model of cutting slabs in a continuous casting machine is considered with the use of the integration module. Simulation modeling is used to optimize the sequence of the melts supplied to the continuous casting machine. The goal of optimization is to reduce the deviation between the estimated and actual numbers of slabs, because such deviations can lead to missed deadlines. The integration module supports a multi agent simulation. Agents in the developed model are intended to describe the cutting slabs algorithm used by technologists in the metallurgical production. As a result of experiments with the model a solution has been found. The following sequence of melts should be supplied to the continuous casting machine: initially, the melts from the usual quality steel, followed by the melts from the high quality steel.
