Method for controlling a rolling mill production system

Control device of a rolling mill production system for production of a coil-shaped end product from a slab, the production comprising processing of the slab by sequentially arranged production units, a strip-shaped product resulting in each subsequent stage from the processing by the respective production unit, the end product being a result of the product processing by the last of the production units, wherein the control device is configured to receive physical data of a strip-shaped to-be-tested product of the products, which results from processing by a given production unit of the production units, the physical data comprising a geometry and/or a weight, wherein the control device comprises a processor and a memory comprising processor executable instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor causes the control device to execute a testing procedure, the testing procedure comprising:

• modelling, under consideration of the physical data, the processing of the to-be-tested product by a plurality of production units subsequent to the given production unit,
• in case the modelling shows that, under consideration of the physical data, one of the products resulting from the processing by the subsequent production units does not correspond to a predetermined quality criterion, interrupting the intended production of the product and outputting a signal related to the interrupting.
