Method for readjusting a manufacturing process

A method for readjusting a separating process and/or forming process, comprising the steps of:

• I. providing a workpiece;
• II. providing a manufacturing means for separating the workpiece;
• III. providing separation steps for separating the workpiece;
• IV. providing parameter values of control parameters for controlling the manufacturing means;
• V. providing workpiece parameters for characterizing the workpiece and specifying target values of the workpiece parameters which the workpiece should have after separation;
• VI. storing the parameter values of the control parameters in a machine controller;
• VII. controlling the manufacturing means by the machine controller based on the control parameters to carry out a separation step from the provided separation steps;
• VIII. measuring separating forces and/or travel occurring during separation during the separation step;
• IX. evaluating values of the separating forces and/or travel measured in step VIII using an evaluation model to determine actual parameter values of the workpiece parameters for characterizing the workpiece;
• X. determining readjustment values of the control parameters based on the actual parameter values of the workpiece parameters determined in step IX using a prediction model, such that, within a framework of a calculation by the prediction model, the readjustment values of the control parameters during separation of the workpiece minimize a difference between the target values of the workpiece parameters and the actual parameter values of the workpiece parameters of the workpiece, the difference being determined after the provided separation steps have been carried out;
• XI. readjusting the control parameters to the readjustment values;
• and
• XII. repeating steps VI to XI until the provided separation steps have been carried out.
