Abstract

The invention relates to a system (1) for controlling a production plant (3) consisting of a plurality of plant parts (2), in particular a metallurgical production plant for producing industrial goods such as metal semi-finished products and/or metal end products,

wherein each plant part (2) has an input quality window (4), an output quality window (5) and a process window (6),wherein the input quality window (4) of a plant part (2) defines the quality characteristics of the input product that are required by the plant part (2) and the output quality window (5) of a plant part (2) defines the quality characteristics of the output product that are allowed by the plant part (2) after processing the input product,wherein, in a production plant (3) consisting of the plurality of plant parts (2), the output quality window (5) of an upstream plant part (2) corresponds to the input quality window (4) of the downstream plant part (2),wherein the process window (6) defines the setting values (7) that can be implemented by the respective plant part (2) for a plant automation unit of the plant part (2),wherein each plant part (2) detects the current state by means of sensors (8) and adapts the process window (6) of the plant part (2) to the detected current state, andwherein the system (1) for controlling the production plant (3) consisting of the plurality of plant parts (2) determines setting values (7) for the respective plant automation unit for each plant part (2), the setting values being within the process windows (6) and that the product produced in the production plant (3) meets the quality characteristics required by the input quality windows (4) and output quality windows (5) of the plurality of plant parts (2).
