Abstract: A dynamic production planning method for a continuous casting plant for casting a strand with a production system which has a predefined production plan, which method includes comparing target production parameters with actual production parameters. If the actual production parameters deviate from the target production parameters, a strand image is created on the basis of actual production parameters. With the aid of the calculated strand image, a check is carried out within the predefined production plan and, if possible, a new production plan is created. If no solution can be found from the predefined production plan, the strand image is transmitted to a production planning system. The production planning system creates a new production plan from all available orders on the basis of a predefined optimization criterion. The new production plan is subsequently transmitted to the production system.

Abstract: A method and a system for configuring a strand guiding system (8, 8a, 8b) of a continuous casting machine (2) and such a strand guiding system (8, 8a, 8b). A strand guiding segment (10g-r) guides a metal strand in the strand guiding system (8, 8a, 8b). The strand guiding system (8, 8a, 8b) has a plurality of strand guiding segments (10g-r) and respective control units (22g-r), wherein each control unit (22g-r) identifies its strand guiding segment (10g-r), and each control unit (22g-r) automatically depends on the strand guiding segments (10g-r) identified by the control unit (22g-r). The strand guiding system (8, 8a, 8b) and the strand guiding segment (10g-r) are prepared for the performance of the method herein disclosed.
