Method for operating a fine blanking system

A method for operating a fine blanking system comprising at least one fine blanking press including a first press unit, a second press unit, and a first press drive configured to drive the first press unit against the second press unit in a first driving movement during a fine blanking process step, and one or more sensors, the method comprising:

• obtaining parameter data from the one or more sensors for at least one of the first press unit, the second press unit, and another component of the fine blanking system during a first fine blanking process step;
• determining adjustments for control parameters of at least one of the first press unit, the second press unit, and the other component of the fine blanking system based on the parameter data;
• and applying the adjustments to the control parameters of the at least one first press unit, the second press unit, and the other component of the fine blanking system in a second fine blanking process step subsequent to the first fine blanking process step, wherein the parameter data are collected with the one or more sensors during a multitude of subsequent fine blanking process steps following the first fine blanking process step, wherein the determining of the adjustments of the control parameters is based on an identification of at least one trend in the parameter data, and wherein the at least one identified trend is predicted for at least one subsequent fine blanking process step.
