Abstract

A method of rolling a metal substrate 104 with a rolling mill 100 includes receiving a historical parameter from a previous rolling operation and receiving substrate information about the metal substrate 104 to be rolled before rolling the metal substrate 104. The method also includes, before rolling the metal substrate 104, predicting a start parameter for the rolling mill 100 based on the historical parameter and the substrate information. The method may include rolling the metal substrate 104 with the rolling mill 100 by controlling the rolling mill based on the predicted start parameter at least during a start of the rolling of the metal substrate 104. A rolling mill 100 for a metal substrate 104 may include at least one work stand 102A, 102B and a controller 116 for predicting a start parameter for the rolling mill 100 based on the historical parameter and the substrate information before rolling of the metal substrate 104.
